I still cannot see this as a reason to have someone 100% nailed as a racist. I have read that since his father was a Muslim, most in the Islam community consider him a Muslim. Are they also racist? the line of thinking just has a huge hole for me. I think Obama is not religious, and just uses religion to get stuff done which I have no problem with. When I want to help the poor I go to...........the CHURCH. Huge surprise.
It's shorthand to make him foreign and un-American. This was seen during a McCain rally where some old lady called him Muslim and an Arab after saying she didn't trust him and feared what America would be if Obama was elected.
To 100% nail someone as a racist, no. But to give an indication that someone is, sure. I haven't seen any link that shows most Muslims consider him a Muslim. Though if that is true based on some Muslim traditions it's off the point since those wouldn't be the reasons Saintcougar would believe him to be a Muslim.
I'm not calling you a liar, but I really doubt that is true. Unlike being Jewish, being Muslim is actually about religious and not ethnic identity. I doubt most Muslim people would consider a guy who has never been a practicing Muslim before in his life one of their own.
Exactly. The charge is so ludicrous that I can see no other rational explanation, unless this dude is 11 years old. If he is, then I apologize.
That's true. Since Obama was elected, I have never heard anyone in the Muslim-majority United Arab Emirates or Turkey claim that Obama is Muslim. I have seen non-Muslim Kenyans celebrating his campaign success. The idea is strictly and purely housed in America. I'd go as far as to say 98% of people outside America who think he is Muslim have never seen any evidence and are only regurgitating what they have heard from Fox News or whatever.
Probably? I don't know, I haven't seen any. I just happened to see the one Kenyan group of people at work celebrating.
