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.

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.
The president's religion, like his place of birth, has been the subject of Internet-spread rumors and falsehoods since before he began his presidential campaign, and the poll indicates that those rumors have gained currency since Obama took office. The number of people who now correctly identify Obama as a Christian has dropped to 34 percent, down from nearly half when he took office.
Among those who say Obama is a Muslim, 60 percent say they learned about his religion from the media, suggesting that their opinions are fueled by misinformation. More than a third of conservative Republicans now say Obama is a Muslim, nearly double the percentage saying so early last year.
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 don't care if he is a muslim or not but if he is then he lied to us all (again) and that is a greater sin.
Wait I just looked into this.
*was* Obama's dad a Muslim?
"My father was almost entirely absent from my childhood, having been divorced from my mother when I was 2 years old; in any event, although my father had been raised a Muslim, by the time he met my mother he was a confirmed atheist, thinking religion to be so much superstition." - Barry
His Father was born of a Muslim Father into a Muslim Tribe in Kenya. He was a Muslim.

It really isn't an important issue in the whole scheme of things. I don't understand why he hides his Muslim background. There has to be a reason for this. Only he knows this reason though. If he were to visit his tribe in Kenya,they would greet him quite happily as a fellow Muslim tribal member. Just as his Grandfather and Father were greeted.

So let me get this straight....
That would make him a Muslim?
What is the source of your intimate knowledge of Islam?It really isn't an important issue in the whole scheme of things. I don't understand why he hides his Muslim background.

To his tribe,yes.
Your source?According to Islam, if your father is a muslim then you are automatically a muslim by birth and always will be no matter what you say you are. Obama is a muslim and should be proud of that fact. There is nothing wrong with our President being a Muslim. America is the land of religious freedom and Obama even said it.

About 20 percent of all U.S. heads of household have never sent an e-mail, and about 20 million households, or 18 percent, are without Internet access, according to a study released in May........
Coincidence?

Problem is that the ones who believe he is a Muslim receive endless chain emails spreading the latest misinformation

And how does that apply to a Christian born in the US?
