| #13 RJ - I agree with one small caveat: Obama's web site does, or at least has, included a statement that he was "never" a Muslim. The accuracy of that statement is relevant to his honesty and for no other purpose. |

| #11 Doesn't matter what islamic law says, doesn't matter what his school admission records say or his birth records or that the Muslim world thinks he's one of their own. What matters is if Barry thinks of himself as a Muslim and if American voters believe him. |

| #10 Was this a live interview, or taped? If live, it may be the last live one we see. If not, it wasn't edited? |

| #9 Allow me to sprinkle gas on the discussion by pointing out that under Islamic law, if your daddy was a Muslim, then you are a Muslim too. I remain fair and balanced by refusing to mention that Obama may or may not be the anti-Christ. |

| #7 There's a legitimate line of inquiry here. Obama has stated categorically that he has "never" been a Muslim. But if reports of enrollment records from his Indonesian school listing his faith as "Muslim" are accurate he's not telling us the truth. Whether or not he's ever been a Muslim is in and of itself of little relevance; whether he's been honest with us about his life is of great relevance. |

| #6 This was clearly a case of his mispeaking. He was trying to insinuate that the McCain's people through proxies indicate Obama's a Muslim. Because he was slandering others (again) Im happy to see people kick this back in his face but there is really nothing here. |

| #5 Tha following should IMHO form the basis for a standard reply against people who accuse you of being racist when you object againt a Muslim as POTUS. "Islam is not a race it is an ideology. There waere German-Americans who fought with honor against Germany dfuring WWI. It was a German-American who designed the P51 Mustang. All of them could have been perfectly valid as POTUS in WWII. But having a German American in the Armed Forces or evn in the Presidency would ghave been one thing, haing someone who had been a member of the Nazi Party would have been an entirely different thing: there woukld have been a strong stuspicion about what country he was loyal. Nobody cares about Obam's race but we care about his ideas. |

| #4 And if you worship yourself you don't really have any problems interpreting Islam as providing salvation to any dumbass grunt who goes out, straps plastique under his civilian robes, and blows himself and your enemy's toddler children (even, or especially, if they're Moslem) into pieces conveniently sized for the dogs to eat. |

| #3 whatever faith he professes is just window dressing. He worships himself |

| #2 Well, he went to a Protestant church for a long while, as long as it's Marxism in all but name. He also has a friend who runs a Catholic church, but practices Marxism in all but name. I wonder what the profession of faith is for his version of Islam? There is no God but The Proletariat, and the Self-Appointed Vanguard of the Proletariat is its prophet? (Keep in mind, I'm the guy who describes Al Qaeda as Maoism in Muslim clothing, so this ain't looking good.) |
