    Why should it matter? We're looking for a president, not a pope.

    O' for gods sake! I didn't bother to look at the link provided.

    If anyone still thinks he's a Muslim they are definitely not capable of doing their own research, except instead relying on uneducated, one-sided fools to spread propaganda.
    Morons out there, get a grip, get a brain and move on - O and by the way, I'm not a Muslim myself, not am I saying we all should be, but 90%+ of Muslims I do believe are decent peaceful honourable people.

    Unless he is found to be supplying arms, support and/or money to a warring religion, he would still have my vote.

    He is Christian. It should not make any difference, just like what Powell said during his endorsement of Obama speech. But there are bigots that would change their vote if they believed this latest nonsense, in a campaign that is getting so ridiculous with Obama character assassinations that it would be poor copy for a Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest sequel.

    Morons, not Morans. Moran is a surname.

    Noted, corrected and the sentiment still applied to Morons.
    Sadly (but rightly I suppose) they too get to vote.

    Go Obama.

    You can send a black guy or a woman to the highest office in the land but people still have a strange stigma over what religion you are. Christian seems to be the only one that will do. **** them. I wouldn't really care too much if Obama was a Muslim, I don't think it makes him dangerous.

    Considering that Obama had been a member of a Pentecostal church in Chicago for 20 years prior to leaving it due to issues with his pastor, I'd assume he's Christian.
