Why are people calling Obama a Muslim? He made it clear that he doesn't like Muslims...?

Question

I'm pretty in tune with the American Muslim community - although I am not personally Muslim (I don't practice or believe) - I come from a Muslim family... as an American Arab, I'm going to have to say that we don't really like Obama that much because he alienated us...

I mean - he moves our "kind" to the back, and he refused to speak at a Muslim community... this understanding that if he does treat our kind well... it pretty much guarantees his loss in the election...

This sort of says something about how welcome we are in this society called America... honestly, I love it here, and I am a born citizen of this country - I call Dallas home... but America itself doesn't want me...

however, for Obama's sake, he is not secretly a Muslim... he is alienating the community just like everybody else...

he is on the fear/hate bandwagon... just like you... and I am sure he will continue to oppress Muslims and Muslim-related people as vehemently as any good Christian white man...

Answer 1

Even if he is Muslim that does not make him a Terrorists..

I have many Muslim freinds and they are just like you and me....

Answer 2

If he treats you so badly why are you defending him?

LOL We got your number and his to.

Answer 3

denying is part of his master muslim plan

Answer 4

I'm sorry, but we don't like to be reminded of how wacky your religion, and by extension our incredibly similar religion, Christianity, is to the outside observer.

Answer 5

First of all, I'm sorry for what Arab Americans are going through. I'm not Muslim, I'm not Arab, and I have no idea how some people still believe FOX's claims that Obama is somehow secretly a Muslim.

What's ridiculous first of all, is that right wing nuts, or just plain ignorant people, are using the fascist idea that he should not be president based on what religion he supposedly belongs to. Nowhere in the constitution does it say a presidential candidate has to be of a certain religious background to get elected.

I can sincerely say that I STRONGLY dislike fanatical muslims. Just as much as I STRONGLY dislike fanatics of any religion, including christianity. Yet I have nothing but respect for people like you, who suffer through discrimination every day, in a place you still choose to call your home. You are a true American.
