Obama: America is 'no longer Christian'
Democrat says nation also for Muslims




By Aaron Klein

JERUSALEM – Some have been taking issue with largely unnoticed comments made last year by Sen. Barack Obama declaring the U.S. is "no longer a Christian nation" but is also a nation of others, including Muslims and nonbelievers.

The comments have been recently recirculating on Internet blogs.

"Whatever we once were, we're no longer a Christian nation. At least not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers," Obama said during a June 2007 speech available on YouTube.

At the speech, Obama also seemingly blasted the "Christian Right" for hijacking religion and using it to divide the nation:

"Somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and started being used to drive us apart. It got hijacked. Part of it's because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, who've been all too eager to exploit what divides us," he said.

Do you think he is just making an observation?- Although not a good thing to say at all.

Not me, I think he is trying to pander to every crowd, and there is no way to do that without alienating somebody.

Even Bush would say that. Remember after 9/11 he had all those American religeous leaders from Judaism to Islam? When did Bush say "this is ONLY a Christian nation"?
