If Barack Obama Was Muslim: does it matter?

The American Presidential Election is a very big subject right now and one of the candidates is Barack Obama, there seems to be a huge story going around the internet that Obama is in fact a Muslim. When you take a look at Yahoo Answers it seems that this rumor first started circulating as an E-Mail.

It seems that so many people have their own view on this, but just by reading just a few comment it seems as if many do not believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim, however most of them follow on by saying that it does not matter what his religion is as long he is a good person and will do the right thing for the American People.

What are your views on this very delicate subject, because everyone as a U.S. Citizen must have some sort of view?

    barack obama is in fact proven to be a muslim. he was shown to be one of the smartest muslim kids at the al- aqsa childrens school for the islamic centre of chigago. His family was shown to have discratable amounts of currency, dictating a job his father had in Iran ad a child where he lived. Barack is still a good person but he should not hide who he is as a canditate for the american presidency.

  • Does it matter

    Question, some may think it doesn’t matter whether Barack is Muslim or not, well when swearing in as President( if by chance it happens) how would he do so ? Now I know Americans believe the the pledge of Alliegance is still mandatory. Obama refuses to accept or acknowledge it and he claims to be of what faith ? That’s the thing his hasn’t clearly stated or confessed with his mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. Is his background of Muslim descend and was his mother an Atheist ? If so why hasn’t he made it know or cleared up any rumors?

  • Simon Kitty

    Mike, you are very ignorant of the actual qualifications to be a muslim ! To be a muslim one must (1) Publically profess loud & clear their belief in just one God ( ie: a christian or a hindu doesn’t quite fit ) (2) Publically profess loud & clear that Muhammad is the final prophet. And after this the new muslim must begin & maintain seriously the 5 pillars of islam. NOBODY is accepted as a bona-fide muslim, unless they fulfill these requirements, regardless of their birth status, or their association.
    A great deal of the bigotry & paranoia against muslims comes from the huge ignorance of what muslims actually believe in & should practice.

    I love the man, hunesty spilles from his face. And, it doesn’t matter if he is a muslim or not.

    I don’t care what anyone says about Islam as a religion, it is an idealogy that is not only archaic but barbaric in the extreme. Muslims are trying to KILL us as mandated in the Koran. Are we prepared to elect the enemy to America’s highest office? Obama refused to salute the American Flag or honor the National Anthem recently as pictured in SNOPES. How can anyone be so naive as to think he is presidential material? If by some quirk of fate this man is elected, will he put his hand on the Christian bible to take the oath of office or will it be the Koran? And to you Mr. John Smith, “hunesty?” “Spilles?” And it DOES make a difference whether or not he is a Muslim. READ THEIR HOLY BOOK!

  • John Smith

    To TD,
    “Muslims are trying to KILL us as mandated in the Koran.”
    But we are killing them by milions in all over the world without any second thought, and nobody can object because we can. Just have a second thought and change the name USA with Iraq or Afghanistan or Libanon or Palastine and what you would feel if you were a citizin from those countries.

  • John Smith

    To TD,
    I’m a post grad student of Islamic culture and history and I suggest to TD to have some reading about the subject befor commenting about it and stop the hatred based on media propaganda and political agendas directed and used by evil people.

  • umar

    insh’Allah obama will rule America forever.
    and he will be a muslim forever

  • TD

    To “John Smith” perhaps if you would have majored in English and learned to spell “honesty” and “spills” your statements would have more credibility. As to your statement, “But we are killing them by milions [there are two L's in millions]all over the world…” they are also killing people all over the world for not other reason than a difference of opinion about the “true God.” There is a major difference between fanatism and self-defense. I personally don’t think the US has any business in the Middle East especially when there is a war here at home which is escalating daily as witnessed by the statement of “umar” who apparently has an English usage problem with proper punctuation. “Hatred” JS? “Evil people?” This from those whom we welcome to our country and then who would try to push their barbaric beliefs off on us. Understand this: it is we who are being forced into a defensive posture. Why can’t you followers of an allegedly “peaceful” religion live and let live and stop persecuting women, cartoonists and other infidels simply because you don’t believe in free speech and would have Mohammed’s foot on our necks. We as a free people have the choice of whom to follow and we will not allow this kind of religious tyranny.

    Someone with a Muslim father is already a Muslim!
    In Islam you do not have to accept Islam when born to a Muslim father but you are automatically a Muslim.
    The fact is that all the Muslims in the world will consider Obama as a Muslim whatever anyone says.
    And what’s more, if he seriously renounces Islam he is in for the treatment that is reserved for someone who renounces Islam that is to say he will be punishable by death!!!

  • John Smith

    To TD,
    I’m amazed by people who can point a spelling mistake on comment in a web log but can’t see our government invaded Iraq for no reason but force an ideology be it the democracy or Christianity on people who don’t want it, and control their natural resources. People like you TD self-centred and blind. I’m not going to analyse the suffering of the Muslim people because of the western aggressins since the fragmentation of Othman empire and colonizing its many states from Spain in Morocco to France on Algeria and Tunisia and Syria and Lebanon to Italy in Libya and Somalia to England in Egypt, Sudan, Arabian peninsula and Iraq ….. till the invasion of Iraq. People like you TD claiming self defence from countries and people who have no control over there daily life because of the continues intrusion of the western powers for the last 100 years. I think whatever they have done is more like a desperate hopeless and stupid self-defence. And if we don’t give the peace to think properly and justice to feel as normal respected human we’ll never find peace for our country or inside ourselves as humans unless we kill them all one by one. Because one day the balance of power may change and then you’ll find yourself cornered.
    Obama muslim or not I can see in him more humani personality, read his biography on Wikipedia and you’ll see that he is much better than the idiot G. Bush and his killing lover gang and dishonest H. Clinton.

  • John Smith

    To Umar
    I don’t agree with you, politicians have to be changed regularly, power corrupts. And this what the Muslim people in countries should do.

  • Suboor

    Islam is Peace
    Peace is Islam

    Why one’s religion matters…?

    What if hilary clinton converts after hopefully bcming president..?

    Obama All the Way !

  • TD

    To Suboor: This is not a matter of religion. This is a matter of militant idologies and the desire of some radical Muslims to kill anyone who won’t bow to THEIR way of “living.” Thank GOD that neither Hillary or Obama has a chance in hell of being elected.

    Obama All the Way…to the Middle east, that is.

  • josh

  • db

    Islam is a religion, based on the notion of peace, then how is it that so many acts done by its adherents are contrary to peace? The answer is simple. Such actions, if not sanctioned by the religion, have no place with it. They are not Islamic and should not be thought of as Islamic.
    The very name Islam comes from the Arabic root word ‘salama’ which means peace. Islam is a religion which is based upon achieving peace through the submission to the will of God. Thus, by this very simple linguistic definition, one can ascertain as to what the nature of this religion is.
    One of the many short comings which has arisen in the West, is judging Islam by the conduct of a minority of its people.
    The only way to examine Islam is to simply examine its belief system. Look at its sources, the Qur’an and Sunna, and see what they have to say. This is the way to find the truth about what Islam says about terror, terrorism and terrorists.One who is sincerely searching for the truth, will do it no other way.

    I have many friends that are Muslim/Islamic and they tell me that all people in the world are Muslim/Islamic or they are atheist. I don’t know much about the Muslims, but according to them, if you are born from a Muslim father, you are Muslim, period and if you denounce the Muslims, you will be destroyed. They tell me that they have only one agenda, to destroy all atheist and if you aren’t Muslim, then you are atheist. They tolerate me, but that seems to be all they do. I am not stating this as fact, just what Muslims have told me.
