    Just reacting to headline

    Without reading the article, I have to say I know NOBODY that thinks that Barack Obama is a Muslim and really so what???? His religion should be completely separate from the WH and so why would I ever care if he was in fact a Muslim. I think denying it as he is doing is inadvertently casts a dark shadow on the Muslim religion. It would like if somebody said I was gay, I would only respond that I was not, but in such a tone that would just clear up the matter not condemn the gay community. Barack has said enough times that he is not a Muslim. Period. End of conversation. Leave it alone. I think the bigger problem he has is convincing other Christians that he is in fact a Christian himself. I have attended many Christian services and none of them sounded like the church Barack attended for 20+ years. Somebody can call themselves a Christian all day long, but there really is no proof of that because there is NOT only one example. We only have our own personal experiences and it seems each church puts their own spin on interpretation and expression.
