Many of our fellow humans are Muslim and that's okay.
Barack Obama may have Muslim ancestors and a name with Islamic roots. This does not make one inherently Muslim, since religion is a culturally-guided choice (i.e., he's not "hiding his innate Islamicness").
For the record, Obama is not "formerly Muslim" or "hiding his religion". He proudly discusses his Christian religion. So if you self-identify as Christian and are concerned about such things, don't worry, Barack Obama is LIKE YOU.
Check out the following link for a great cartoon:

Who understands almost nothing about Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims, but that division has been part of Iraq's history for centuries. Incurious George didn't care, and still doesn't. I'm not sure John McCain knows--or cares, either. This ignorance and disinterest in the country Bush insisted on invading and bombing five years ago has lead to a huge mess. Solving that mess is going to mainly be the next president's headache. Seems to me that having a president with some greater, or even a basic undersanding of Islam in the 21st century is not the worst idea I've ever heard.
I don't think Obama is a Muslim, especially not in the sense of "He's a muslim Manchurian candidate who is controlled by our enemies who will destroy us all!" I believe he is a Christian, but my reasons for supporting him are for the most part NOT based on either his religion or mine. I believe in the separation of church and state, and after seven years spent with a president who's eager to push his great piety into everyone's face, and even, terrifyingly, let his public policies be guided by it, I'm hoping Obama's going to run a somewhat more secular and sensible White House.
Yes, I know, he hasn't won the election, yet. I say Obama in this context because I KNOW John McCain woouldn't run either a secular or a sensible administration.
Obama's supporters are younger and more tech savvy. Start off a bunch of emails telling the truth about Obama and McCain. I won't tell lies about McCain but there are plenty of not so nice things about him.
The way he treated his first wife is one.
The Obama's marriage is rock solid which is important. It is the way a marriage should be.
What is really important is what each candidate intends to do.
The economy is tops on most people's minds but that money (and life) waste in Iraq is a huge drag on the economy.
McCain is associated with the idea of staying in Iraq for 100 years. Come on young people, lay it on.
Repetion.
Joan Walsh and the writers at Salon are not stupid. She and they know exactly what they are doing.
That is the problem.

Then get the film of McCain, showing what he did in his cell in the Hanoi Hilton. The circumstances were awful, but maybe some of his actions could be excused. Rumor mongers? No excuse.
And their grade-school mentality. Obama rhymes with Osama. That's pretty much all they ever needed. The rest is gravy.
It truly saddens me to see America is descending. A great nation is suffering a crisis of its own foundations: democracy, freedom, and critical thinking.
Since when has America become so shallow, pondering on someone´s religion as the basis of credentiality as a president? And since when a kind of rumor like this could be deemed appropriate as a headline? Okay, it has been since years ago, but how could Americans let it happen, and instead putting on more fire to it?
Contrary to what his handlers and the media want us to believe....Obama IZZ a Muslim but don't you go by the Christian way of defining who is a follower of what faith.
Obama is Muslim according to the MUSLIM WORLD and he can do whatever explaining he want's to do.... he can never undo the facts.. He IZZZZ Muslim !! NO LESS !
His dad and grandfather were Arab Muslims. Both Obama and his father are "African born" Arabs...
his father's deceased mother was pure Arab !!,
but as Obama's father did not have Hussein as middle name,
he did not QUALIFY as he was NOT his own fathers FIRST BORN SON.
Grampa Obama had 14 wives plus older son's than Baraks father.
However, Barak IS his father's FIRST BORN SON... and therefore IS entitled to the Hussein name (he should be proud)
is why he will always be considered Muslim in the Muslim World and outside the USA. Barak can never undo that.
Barak's mother was tricked into that !! She didn't know !! She's dead....
HOWEVER, Barak converted to Jesus and IS a "Christian" in the Christian World
But he will never be CONSIDERED "Christian" in the Muslim World and in the world outside the US, where he is CONSIDERED an INFIDEL, A TRAITOR !!
which will create a whole new big problem for the US as "the" leading "Western" country on this planet.
IF you select him as your President, Commander in Chier OR VP..... all eyes are on "chocolate"....
Bush managed to spoil a lot for the US as a nation...
Obama will be no asset to the US as he is expected to be soft on Islamic matters..... OR ELSE !!
Condoliza didn't have that problem as she (as a woman) was NOT REQUIRED to follow Islam and as she was not born into it. Both her parents came from slave parents long time ago and were since raised in a Christian world....
So, while Condy can be (and is) an asset to her country, Obama can never be !!
ONE REASON WHY THE US CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE OBAMA AS IT'S PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF.....
THE SECOND REASON IS:- Obama was not born on US soil.... his mama wanted to fly back to her folks in Hawaii
but she was not allowed on any flight for being too far in her term.
Barak is BORN on African soil in Nyangoma-Kogelo, Kenya, where "gramma" Sarah lives....
He was REGISTERED IN HAWAII......
So Batak is no "US born citizen... SO HE CAN NEVER BE US PRESIDENT (OR COMMANDER IN CHIEF.. 0R VP) !!!
THE THIRD REASON IS:- Barak is no BLACK.
He has no drop of African Negro blood in his veins...
HE IS A WHITE ARAB... BOTH HIS GRANDPARENTS WERE ARAB.. and his mom was PURE WHITE !!
So it's a big fat lie that BARAK OBAMA IS "BLACK"
P/S:- You may check on his footsoles... if they are "white", he is AFRICAN.... he is BLACK !! And my info is incorrect....
Hey, I grew up outside the US !! I grew up in Muslim countries as well.
We are coping with an intruder !!!!
P/S:- this is no joke
as far as the person Obama is concerned, I have nothing against him except that he is a lier on account of his wife,
and has a lot of "friends' trying to get him through for their own private reasons, his own wife f.g.
What I mean to say is that I do not want my country used and squandered for the benefit of another bunch of greedy alligators.
We have been misled for the last 7 years.... Let's not FALL FOR "CHANGE".....

Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
219 Democrats and one Republican join in favor of the legislation, which passed by a narrow margin
