Seriously???

The number of Americans who believe -- wrongly -- that President Obama is a Muslim has increased significantly since his inauguration and now accounts for nearly 20 percent of the nation's population.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/18/AR2010081806913.html

What does this say about the American people? Hysterical? Stupid?

And so what if he was???!!

Not all Muslims are bad. I feel like a kindergarten teacher when I say that....

Not that I particularly care what religion our President follows, or if he follows none at all... it doesn't really matter to me.

But you can't say "wrongly"... not unless you know him personally.

I think it's more important to ask what it says of the "free American press" to think it's okay to inject personal opinion into a news article.

How about you actually pay attention to the things that I say rather than your own moronic preconceived notions? I wasn't defending anyone, I said I don't give a shit what religion, if any, he follows. My only statement is that you can't say wrongly unless you know him persnally... whether that came from the article or from you, it still stands.

Then you can't accuse him of being a Muslim unless you know him personally. Just admit that the Muslim angle being pushed is partisan politics.

Growing number of Americans worried they might be Muslim

As a new survey showed that over a third of Republican Americans believe President Obama to be a Muslim, many have admitted that they are worried a lax Democrat approach to homeland security might mean that they too, are now Muslim.
The survey showed that 20% of Americans believe President Obama to be a Muslim, but that figure rises to 34% if you only ask right-wing voters who desperately want to believe all the bad things you hear about President Obama.
Concern has only been worsened by rumours that the number of Muslims in the US is growing at a rate that any sane person would consider completely insignificant.
One worried Republican told us, “There was a Muslim in my supermarket last week, and I think he might have given me Islam when he sneezed in my direction.”
“I’ve been bathing in Jesus water for an hour every day since, but I think it might be too late because I’ve had this strange desire to blow something up all week. Well, not blow something up, more shoot something, but that’s them Muslims too, right?”
Muslim America

Many Republican are already on the lookout for the rising number of Muslims, concerned they will seek to ruin the American way of life and traditional US pastimes such as over-eating, owning guns and being horribly misinformed about almost everything.
Missouri resident Walt Shaker told us, “I been hearin’ a lot on Fox News ’bout more and more people being one of them Muslims here in the US of A, but we only had one recent addition to the family, so clearly little Jethro must be that new Muslim.”
“As soon as he can talk, we’ll get one of them TV evangelists to burn it out of him. The $500 charge seems quite cheap for such a valuable service, praise the Lord!”
