Why do nearly one out of every four Americans now believe that Barry Hussein is a Muslim?
More Americans say Obama is Muslim
By Olivier Knox (AFP) – 13 hours agoWASHINGTON — Roughly one in five Americans wrongly says President Barack Obama is a Muslim, according to two new US opinion polls out Thursday amid a furor over a planned mosque near New York’s “Ground Zero.”
And about 30 percent of Americans say followers of Islam should be barred from running for president or serving on the US Supreme Court, according to one of the surveys, published in Time magazine and available on Time.com.
The Time poll found 24 percent of respondents said Obama — a Christian church-goer who has repeatedly spoken out about his faith — is a Muslim, while 18 percent said the same in a study from the non-partisan Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.
On top of the Americans who believe Obama is Muslim – including a hefty percentage of Democrats, for what it’s worth – is the fact that more than half of Democrats, and even more than half of African Americans, don’t believe that Obama is a Christian. And less than half of all Americans think Obama is a Christian.
Two years into Obama’s presidency, the American people don’t know who or what the hell has his feet on the desk in the Oval Office. Kind of strange coming from a man who promised unparalleled transparency.
So the question that matters is why Americans believe that Obama is not a Christian, but is in fact a Muslim.
Well, at least partly because OBAMA once actually said he was a Muslim:
Let’s not play games. What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you’re absolutely right that that has not come–
STEPHANOPOULOS: Christian faith.
OBAMA: — my Christian faith. Well, what I’m saying is that he hasn’t suggested–
We all know about Freudian slips. All I know is that I have never been so confused about my Christianity that I had to be corrected as to which religion I sincerely and passionately held.
But that doesn’t explain why MORE Americans now believe Obama is a Muslim than at any time in the past. You know what does? The fact that the American people have had time to see Obama as he really is in his actual policies, rather than as a preening pretender saying whatever he needs to say.
Maybe Americans have finally digested the New York Times article that came out over three years ago:
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
And what was it that Obama recited, and called “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth”?
“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet… “
Now, you see, as a genuine Christian, I DON’T happen to find that chant very pretty. Because Allah is NOT supreme – even if you say it four times. And I particularly find that “there is no god but Allah” part to be anything but ugly.
Because, unlike Obama, I actually AM a Christian, and take no artistic pleasure in claims which specifically deny Jesus Christ’s deity.
In fact, I believe that I would refuse to recite those words even with a gun pointed at my head. Much less admire their beauty.
It’s remarkably sad that Barack Obama would find some of the most hateful blasphemy ever uttered to be “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth.”
Maybe Americans believe Obama is a Muslim because they took the advice of their president and started giving Muslims’ beliefs more credit:
And while Obama may not identify as a Muslim, that’s not how the Arab and Muslim Streets see it. In Arab culture and under Islamic law, if your father is a Muslim, so are you. And once a Muslim, always a Muslim. You cannot go back. In Islamic eyes, Obama is certainly a Muslim. He may think he’s a Christian, but they do not.
I mean, why is Obama so intolerant to so flagrantly deny the sincerely-held belief of Muslims?
And, given that converting to Christianity would make Obama an apostate subject to death under islam, Obama being a Christian would be the worst possible thing in terms of our relationship with Islam. Why do we want a Muslim apostate for a president?
Maybe it’s because Obama – who routinely cites the “Holy Koran” as authoritative – mocks the Bible which he doesn’t bother to refer to as “holy”:
Which passages of Scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is ok and that eating shellfish is abomination? How about Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount – a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application? So before we get carried away, let’s read our Bibles. Folks haven’t been reading their Bibles.
For the record, I dealt with Obama’s profoundly un-Christian argument in another article. Like everything else Obama says, it offers a candy-coating of truth over a big chewy mass of lies.
And a lot of Americans realize that no true Christian would think or argue that way.
Obama doesn’t believe the Bible is authoritative. It’s just the words of a bunch of moldy old long-dead men who weren’t even particularly wise. It’s a book filled with errors and inaccuracies. Unlike the “holy Koran,” which Obama has repeatedly cited as being incredibly relevant to our times.
Maybe Americans realize that a guy who pisses on the Bible and yet seems to revere the Koran is a hell of a lot more of a Muslim than he ever will be a Christian.
Maybe Americans need to start hearing Obama start pissing on the Koran the way he’s pissed on the – dare I say it – HOLY Bible.
Maybe it’s because Obama tried to ban Christ from Christmas, but celebrates Ramadan. Why is that?
Maybe it’s because of the way Barack Obama has repeatedly attacked Christians, calling them racist bitter clingers desperately hanging on to their implements of violence:
“And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
“Somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and started being used to drive us apart. It got hijacked,” presidential hopeful Obama said. “Part of it’s because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, who’ve been all too eager to exploit what divides us.”
Those are incredibly harsh words coming from the most polarizing and divisive president in American history. If Obama actually bothered to give the Bible any real credit, he’d think about Jesus’ words about taking out the log in his own eye before attacking someone else for the speck in theirs.
Barack Obama has only managed to unite everyone once in his entire embarrassing career, during one of his myriad greed-sicking fundraising events in Los Angeles:
A two-mile drive on the Westside took 45 minutes. Frustrated drivers vented on the Los Angeles Times’ website, among others. No matter their politics, Los Angeles residents were united.
“It was a beautiful thing,” said Brentwood resident Myles Berkowitz, commiserating with his neighbors on Montana Avenue. “Young, old, black, white — everyone was pissed off.”
Maybe the American people find it bizarre that evangelical Christians are much more the enemy to Barack Obama than the terrorists who have actively murdered Americans. Maybe Americans find it weird that Obama believes that evangelical Christians are more dangerous than terrorism (a label he banned until political pressure forced him to put the word back into use).
Maybe it’s because most Americans can’t understand why Obama pushed for the construction of the Ground Zero mosque but didn’t bother to assist the Christian church that was destroyed in the 9/11 attack and has never been allowed to rebuild.
Maybe it’s because of the weak, apologizing, appeasing stupidity toward Islam Obama has displayed again and again and again in his apology tour, in his asinine Gitmo policy, and other atrocities of moral reasoning.
Getting back to the mainstream media characterization of Obama as a “Christian church-goer.” Really?
From ABC News:
If church attendance is one measure of a man’s faith, then President Obama may appear to have lost some of his. The first family, once regular churchgoers, have publicly attended services in Washington just three times in the past year, by ABC News’ count, even bypassing the pews on Christmas Day.
By the most recent count I could find, Obama has now gone a total of five times. Out of 83 weeks.
I wonder if my boss would call me a “work-goer” if I strolled into the office once every three weeks and change or so.
It’s a shame we have a media that just will not simply tell the truth.
I’ve also got to laugh at the fact that 24% became “roughly one in five” as though 24% is closer to 20% than it is to 25%.
So maybe it would help Obama if he went to church. And I mean a decent Christian church that disavows radical black liberation theology Marxism, too.
Pope Benedict correctly labeled liberation theology as a heresy of Catholicism, and said of Obama’s version of “Christianity”:
“Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes not divine, but demonic.” Pope Benedict XVI
And the Pope – who understands something about Christianity – got it right: “Demonic” is the right word to describe Obama’s Marxist apostate Muslim Christian heresy.
Because maybe the American people can’t see “Christianity” in Barack Obama’s Marxist collective (as in “collectivist”) view of salvation that is nowhere found in the Bible Obama has trivialized.
So unlike the mainstream media – which has just become psychologically unraveled over this poll – I understand why so many people think Obama is a Muslim. And it is frankly incredible to me that so many supposedly smart people in the media don’t get it.
For the record, I am personally much more worried that Barack Obama worships himself than I am that he secretly worships Allah.

i think he is not a muslim but he is not a christian either.

Pat,
I think you’ve got it about right.
Obama’s “god” is Obama. He’s a narcissist who doesn’t have room in his ego for any gods but himself.
“Communism” gets tricky; for instance, China is now embracing a form of national socialism (i.e., facism). And that is the model Obama is steering us into. In national socialism, the state doesn’t outright seize the means of production, it simply regulates the means of production in such a way that private businesses are induced to do or produce what the state wants/dictates/demands. Same outcome by a different means.
The other thing about calling Obama a “communist” is that liberals mock it because Obama isn’t calling for all the things that Stalin did. But take a step back: when the communists were trying to gain power, did they promise, “If you give us power, we’ll take over everything, create a police state, put an end to freedom, line people up and shoot them, and crush the human spirit in every way possible”? I don’t recall them doing that.
What the communists did was make a bunch of impossible claims, obtain power under those false pretenses, and THEN do all that ugly crap.
And that’s where Obama and the Democrat Party are today. The only thing stopping them from being like the communists of Stalinism is that they lack the power to implement such a system.

Its kind of depressing that you ignorant asshats who call yourselves “good Christians” have nothing better to do than bash other religions. Not to mention the fact that Jesus was an incarnation of God on earth, not GOD. God = Allah, its the same entity, they even say Jesus was one of his prophets. In other words, the voice of God on earth. Its really depressing how hypocrisy has derailed an otherwise good attempt at making peace. People only loving their neighbor, if they believe the same things. Thats not the way it works. The more you act on that, the bigger a hole you dig for yourself. Believing that God would only visit one region of the world is egocentric, I’m sure the opportunity to be a part of the Kingdom, was given to many regions of the world. And they each applied their culture of the time, to that religion. Now they point at each other screaming the other is wrong. If I recall correctly, Abraham and his brothers were all born of the same womb. Don’t be so [profanity deleted by moderator] stupid.

Just thought I’d start by pointing out what a total hypocrite you are. Which makes your comment on how depressing you find hypocrisy rather amusing. You call me an “ignorant asshat” which is not a very loving thing to say just because you don’t believe the same things that I do.
The really funny thing about you is you actually totally contradict yourself in your very first sentence. And yet you are so profoundly ignorant and arrogant that you don’t realize you did it. You literally bash my religion in the very same sentence that you say people who bash other people’s religions are ignorant asshats.
So as long as we all understand that I am addressing a man who is a total ignorant asshat and the epitome of “ignorant asshattedness.”
You proceed to demonstrate that you are as ignorant theologically as you prove yourself to be ignorant morally. You say, “Not to mention the fact that Jesus was an incarnation of God on earth, not GOD.” As if you had absolutely no idea whatsoever that the entire 2,000 year history of orthodox Christianity doesn’t completely fly in the face of what you said. But that’s right: you’re that asshat hypocrite who bashes other people’s religion while lecturing them on how bad it is to bash other people’s religion, aren’t you??? You don’t care that Jesus said, “I and the Father are ONE.” It doesn’t matter that Jesus said, “Before Abraham was born, I AM.” You don’t care about when Thomas bowed down to Jesus and said, “My Lord and my God!” It doesn’t matter one whit to you that St. John said of Jesus, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS GOD.” St. John said of Jesus, “All things came into being BY HIM, and apart FROM HIM nothing came into being that has come into being.” Nor does it matter to you that the New Testament affirms elsewhere that Jesus Christ was the Creator of all things (Colossians 1:16, Hebrews 1:2). Nor does it matter to you that Jesus Christ could not possibly have created all things if HE HIMSELF HAD BEEN CREATED.
It doesn’t matter to you one iota that passages in the Old Testament (e.g. Isaiah 43:11, Isaiah 45:21 and Hosea 13:4) say “there is no Savior besides Me.” And then the Bible calls Jesus “Savior” (Luke 2:11, John 4:42, Ephesians 5:23, Philippians 3:20).
You could care less that the New Testament clearly affirms that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Word, is called both Savior AND God (see Titus 2:13, see 2 Peter 1:1).
You say, “I’m sure the opportunity to be a part of the Kingdom, was given to many regions of the world” because it somehow never dawned on you to actually read what Jesus said. Things such as, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. NO ONE comes to the Father EXCEPT THROUGH ME” (John 14:6). So you’re clearly not just bashing me or bashing Christians, you’re bashing Jesus Christ Himself.
The reason Jesus was so – in your words, “egocentric” – is because HE IS GOD. The Scriptures say that God will not share His glory with another (see Isaiah 42:8 and Isaiah 48:11). And yet Jesus speaks of HIS OWN glory (Matthew 25:31, John 17:5).
What am I to say to someone like you? You tell me not to bash other people’s religions, when you in that same sentence bash my religion. You call me an asshat in a description that clearly means you yourself are an asshat. And then you end by cursing and saying, “Don’t be so stupid” when no one anywhere around is more stupid than you.
