Though there are rumors that Obama is a Muslim, he does profess Christianity. Being purely hypothetical, how would you feel if he was a practicing Muslim and proud of it-and won the election? Please cast your vote in the poll-looking forward to the responses.

Re: How would you feel if a Musilm was elected?

I have a feeling that Barak Obama is really a very secular person more involved with humanism than either Christianity or Islam.

It is clear that his "conversion" was a matter of convenience as he has documented the story himself about how when visiting a pastor in Chicago about organizing some community stuff the pastor told him he would have much more success if he were actually a part of the church community there by being a member somewhere. It was after that conversatoin that he visited Tinity and the crazy racist black helicopter loving pastor there inspired him to become a Christian.

Blasphemy, blasphemy!! Hush your mouth!!
Brother Obama is a deeply committed christian...and I have the pictures to prove it.

(And when you speak of the "crazy racist black helicopter loving pastor " ....I KNOW you're not talking about the anointed Prophet Jeremiah Wright. You know that would be even more blasphemy!)




So now...you know.

LOL!!!!! Democrats are convinced that if you say anything, no matter how farfetched, enough times that people will believe it. Or at least enough people to win.

I laugh every time I hear Obama and Biden and all of the other Dem's spouting the DNC talking points try to act like McCain is in lockstep with GWB. One of the reasons I have disliked McCain so much over the years is because he was NOT in lockstep with his own party and President.

I agree, and that is why I felt we had two democrats running.

Re: How would you feel if a Musilm was elected?

The reason I posted this was because there was an interesting article in Newsweek where the interviewed the chairman of a Muslim society and he was discussing how hurtful it is to him that Muslim is being used as a smear this election and was wondering what happened to freedom of religion.

This being said, when I said purely hypothetical, I meant it. I know that people have their doubts about Obama's Christianity, but honestly-if someone claims Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord, who am I to question that? God knows his heart and true intentions, and I don't.

Re: How would you feel if a Musilm was elected?

This is an email (for what that's worth) making the rounds:

This is something I've wondered about for some time now: How & why do the Muslims hate us & everyone else so much? Doesn't their God teach them to love? Of Course this applies to Canada and for that matter the whole of Western Europe as well.

Can a good Muslim be a good American? I sent that question to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:

Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia

Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)

Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).

Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five times a day.

Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.

Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).

Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.

Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic

Spiritually - no. Because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 other names.

So, after much study and deliberation....perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims and good Americans.

Call it what you wish....it's still the truth. And if that equates to "profiling" which is tantamount to murder by the liberals, then so be it.

I still think America really has no choice! Both candidates offer nothing! They all play the same game, will do and say anything to gain votes! Big money making corporations will decide who our next leader shall be.

It be wonderful if America could vote an honest person into office! I guess that's what dreaming for!...
