Would it really even have mattered if Barack Obama was a Muslim?

Why? Whenever the topic of that guy in the White House comes up and no going in his favor --- the question changes focus?

This question was about his hypothetical Muslim faith, and if it really would have mattered.

Being Muslim doesn't make you a terrorist, but it may cloud judgement/may make sympathy to terrorists' actions.

Religion shouldn't cloud judgment but because of how people generally think, they look to find reasons in unreasonable things. If some crazy people do some stupid crap for no reason, people will try to find something that links the stupidity, in the case of many of the terrorist, many of them are Muslim. With this kind of widespread ignorance, if a group of people were to attack the city while eating happy meals from McDonald's, Everyone most of America will start to think that eating a happy meal will make you into a terrorist.

or if the attacking group were to all wear Nike sneakers, people will say that those sneakers will make you into a terrorist.

Just because 2 events happen consecutively does not mean that A caused B.

Religion will most likely cloud Obama's judgement. That's why U.S.A. military personnel of the Muslim faith are screened. If you were a person of Muslim faith, could they depend on your judgement & actions to protect & serve, even kill?!?

But when will that really happen?

in America, most of the prison population is made up of Christians, does that mean Christianity is a criminal religion?

Don't let a few jerks spoil a religion for everyone. All religions have groups of people who feel an uncontrollable need to to something stupid. Not much can be done about them other than ignoring them (deny them the attention that they seek).

And what has he done?

Ended the Iraq war. Created jobs for the first time in 7 years by stimulating the economy. he's pulling us out of the recession. Reformed health. Trying to cut down lines that divide this country, like having democrats against republicans, he works really hard to get us to work together. He has acted like a leader, not like a politician like all those dumbass republicans in the Senate would dont get crap done because they're to worried about getting re-elected -- he doesn't care, and is doing what he thinks is best, which i really really admire. He is having america invest in clean energy, in transportation. he is working to get companies, like auto companies and battery companies etc. to build there products here and not in China. he wants products 10 years from now to say MADE IN USA not MADE IN CHINA. thats great of him. he's passed wall street reform. he's strengthened international relations to an extent we cant even comprehend. he embraced technology. Im leaving out so much he's done. he saved this country. You think you could do a better job? you'd be a liar if you said yes..

Amen to that Phoenix.

about the procuts made in use, some people dont want to buy the new macs witht te made in usa sticker

he's not, it was hypothetical. and should they? it would have been their fault for voting based off religion then politics, and withdrawing their votes just because of prejudice. what about the seperation of church and state? i know it doesn't apply here, but i dont think they would be allowed to do that.. what if he said he changed his religion in "office" like say this year, he decided to become a muslim..we couldnt kick him out for that. nor should we.

Voting based on religion is NOT a fault. It's an important issue!

"I've been to the same church _ the same Christian church _ for almost 20 years," Obama said, stressing the word Christian and drawing cheers from the faithful in reply. "I was sworn in with my hand on the family Bible. Whenever I'm in the United States Senate, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. So if you get some silly e-mail ... send it back to whoever sent it and tell them this is all crazy. Educate."

If he's truly a Muslim, then that another lie to the American Voters.

It's also a factor of where his loyalties are. The Jewish-American voters wish they could take their votes back. His actions show that he is a racist, sides with Palestine, etc.

Its this kind of mentality that has been pushing me away from religion. The minute we start drawing lines in the sand and put people below us, we are doing the exact opposite of what we should be doing. I think that when people think somebody is not worthy of leading this free nation just because of their religion, then we've failed as a society.

Obama is not only a muslim but a muslim extremist, he wants to inforce shariya law and he was born in kenya and illegaly put in office, simply put Obama is a sandclown
