The number of Americans who believe -- wrongly -- that President Obama is a Muslim has increased significantly since his inauguration and now account for nearly 20 percent of the nation's population.
Those results, from a new Pew Research Center survey, were drawn from interviews done before the president's comments about the construction of an Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero, and they suggest that there could be serious political danger for the White House as the debate continues.
In the Time poll, 25 percent say most Muslims in the United States are not patriotic Americans. But the survey also indicates that the public's opposition to the center may be more complicated than just anti-Muslim sentiment. Fifty-five percent said they would accept a Muslim community center and place of worship two blocks from their own home.
I have a feeling most of those people who think Obama is a Muslim likely think most Muslims in the U.S are not patriotic Americans.
There're a lotta reeeaaallly voluntarily-ignorant people allowed to run-free, out there......
Interesting that the number thinking he's Muslim is increasing. Must be something to do with what he does and says? Iran comes to mind.
I have to go with Chanel, don't think he's religious at all, other than of worship of self.
It has much more to do with what Fox news says
And 1 out of 5 probably believe evolution is more than just a theory... or that Columbus discovered America.... or that Obama has actually cut taxes... or that their personal responsibilities are to be taken care of by the government because the Constitution says so... or that Bush was Hitler...
There's misinformation held by all kinds
Personally... I don't think Obama is Christian or Muslim... just pure asshole
A major conspiracy every century I guess, it used to be UFO cover ups, now its Bush plotted to kill people.Even more believe Bush was behind 9/11.
I don't know what the man believes. He sat in that racist church for 20 years and "didn't hear a word". How long did it take for him to find a church in D.C.?
I can understand the results. This week he is a Muslim. Next week - who knows? It's all politics to him. I personally believe the man is God-less. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but man up about it.

He's been a 'success' in wrongfully down a progressive leftist agenda... a 'success' at lying and pulling the wool over the eyes of sheeple... and a 'success' at promoting the entitlement junkie mantra.
But that is like saying that someone is a success at driving their life into the ground.
"When former President George W. Bush spoke at a motivational seminar in Fort Worth yesterday, his most memorable anecdote, according to listeners, was one about dog poop.
Bush told a crowd of about 11,000 in his most publicized event since leaving office that he had recently taken his dog, Barney, for a walk, plastic bag in hand.
It was then that he realized "Man, my life has changed!"
Bush's speech was a string of anecdotes and observations about his time in office. Sharing the stage with Rudy Giuliani, Colin Powell and Terry Bradshaw, he was apparently not the best speaker there.
But the audience was his.
One attendee told the Washington Post that his lack of speaking abilities sounds "incompetent if you are president. But here it can be inspiring. It makes him seem like a regular guy, no better than me."

57% of Democrats, 30% of Republicans, and 61% of independents believe in evolution; 40% of Democrats, 37% of independents and 68% of Republicans do not.
According to Newsweek in 1987, "By one count there are some 700 scientists with respectable academic credentials (out of a total of 480,000 U.S. earth and life scientists) who give credence to creation-science..."
700 U.S. earth or life scientists who accept creationism / 480,000 U.S. earth or life scientists X 100%
= 0.15% of U.S. earth or life scientists that accept creationism.

Washington gives us little in his writings to indicate his personal religious beliefs. As noted by Franklin Steiner in "The Religious Beliefs Of Our Presidents" (1936), Washington commented on sermons only twice. In his writings, he never referred to "Jesus Christ." He attended church rarely, and did not take communion - though Martha did, requiring the family carriage to return back to the church to get her later.
I don't think he is our "mortal fucking enemy", but whoever started this thread seems to think that anyone who suspects that he is a Muslim must be an idiot. Not true. People reach their own conclusions when they are presented with half truths and bold faced lies. The man is a mystery to say the least.

This was in 1987 mind you.

I think you might be the one believing in disinformation in that case.

It's not true in all cases, but it's likely true.
People on USMB are likely holding two simultaneous thoughts at the same time if they believe this.
1.) Obama sat under Rev. Wright, who like you said was racist but also Christian for 20 years.
2.) Obama's a Muslim.
You cannot say Obama's a Muslim and say he sat on a racist Christian preacher for 20 years at the same time. It makes absolutely no sense. It's called double think.
