So is Obama a Muslim? Or did he used to be one? A friend and I were talking about him and I seem to recall reading that he is. My friend said that Obama was raised Muslim, but is now Christian. Anyone know for sure? This will greatly affect my voting next year.
Dean says he's a terrorist because of his name so I think he is, yeah.
He's Saddam Hussein's 3rd nephew twice removed.
He father was a non-practing Muslim. He did attend a private Muslim elementary school for awhile in Indonesian, but that probably has more to do with the quality of schools available there than anything else. He is currently a member of the UCC and has been for quite awhile now.

he was born in a terrorist training camp in Yemen and then later raised by wolves
We must first get him the Democrat nomination, so he can take on those "holier-than-thou" types.Originally Posted by TopDaugIn2000
Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.
great. but I STILL won't vote for a republican.
i dont care!
I never thought you cared.
it was a joke, not meant to sway your political leanings
yes, I know.
It's a good thing you never dated that old dude or you wouldn't be able to vote for old folks either.
What else is out?
How about Teddy Kennedy(R) vs Hugo Chavez(D)?

If by "non-practicing Muslim", you mean "atheist" and by "private Muslim", you mean "public secular", then you're correct.
atheist eh? Hmmm. Not that he was getting my vote anyway but thats interesting.
if by Public secular, you mean acknowledged by Obama to be a Muslim owned and operated school for people of multiple religions, you'd be correct, http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/22/obama.madrassa/
I also think you can make the case that Non-practing Muslim is the same because of the influence of an Islamic background while growing up. He would be quite aware of beliefs and practices even if he didn't follow or practice.

Obama is whatever the crowd in front of him wants him to be. Like Hillary and Al Gore, he'll someday be caliming some jewish ancestry as well. It's the most predictable thing about Democrats - they'll attempt to claim as many hyphenated groups as they can. To a Democrats, it's never good enough to have been blessed enoough to be an American. They've always got be some kind of America...or kinds.
