I have another question. Why do we always have to question FOREIGN policy??
When are we going to find a president, congressman, or other leaders that have a clue about running OUR COUNTRY??
I don't know alot about pawlitics.... but this statement rings true with me as well. Good post.
I have to admit that deep down I think he is Muslim, and he is hiding it from us for political reasons. I'm certainly not advocating that others believe it. Because of that nagging feeling, I had already read Obama anti-smear site. I also read the site concering the birth certificate. The information provided there did convince me the birth certificate is legitimate, and he is a legitimate candidate for president.
However, I'm just not certain about him not being a Muslim. I've been called wrong before and will again, but after reading everything I can about the man, I think he is a Muslim. I'm not a Muslim hater either.

If he were a Muslim 'pretending' to be a Christian....do you know how unbecoming of a Muslim that would be?
If Obama is a Muslim, he's a horrible one, and the 'bad guys' most certainly would be out for his head because of it.
I think he qualifies as an apostate:

Harvard Law Reviewed
Kicking down doors.
by Elise O’Shaughnessy June 1990
The new president of the Harvard Law Review was somewhat taken aback by the deluge of media coverage that followed hard on the heels of his election. The New York Times ran a “First Black” headline, which probably won’t be the last time that label is affixed to Barack Obama. The twenty-eight-year-old law student says he wasn’t going to run for the office until a black friend talked him into it. “There’s a door to kick down,” the friend argued, “and you’re in a position to kick it down.” The job does give him a great forum, but there’s a trade-off. “I like to read novels, listen to Miles Davis,” he says. “I don’t get to do that anymore. I don’t get dates anymore.” Still, he’s philosophical, even briskly cheerful, about his lost leisure. And that’s because Barack Obama has a game plan: he wants to tackle the quagmire of America’s inner cities. Federal money alone won’t do it, he argues. The deeper problem is that “those communities are unorganized. We need to get more people planning.” For preparation, Harvard Law School is a “perfect place to examine how the power structure works. It gives you a certain language.” When he’s fluent, he’ll be able to translate the language of the streets (“which I can speak”) into the language of the Establishment, and vice versa. The sense of mission derives in part from his experiences in the Third World. He saw brutal poverty while growing up in Singapore with his mother, an anthropologist, and his half-brothers and -sisters in Kenya still live hand to mouth at times. Obama says that his late father’s experience in the Kenyan government left him a broken and bitter man, and he responds warily to the assumption that he himself will run for office. “If I go into politics it should grow out of work I’ve done on the local level, not because I’m some media creation.” Though, as media creations go, he’d be a pretty good one.
You are correct; he is not Muslim. He's an agnostic pretending to be a Christian, which in fact makes him a populist. :icon_wink:
As for the rest of the thread, he has written pretty openly about his faith, and he has made it clear that he got involved with the Christian church because he learned early in his career working to improve the plight of African Americans in Chicago that if you want to be relevant in that community you have to go through the church.
There are some good, objective articles out there pulling together Obama's comments and writings about his faith and then interpreting them from various theological standpoints (evangelical, moderate, etc.). This is no great mystery. But this belief that he is a threat to US security because his father was born in an Islamic country is silly. It's almost like saying Ravi Zacharias is "pretending" to be a Christian because he was born Hindu.
