rialvestro the mosque is not being built on ground zero, but somewhat around that area. Obama is not the one who decided to build it, and the plans of making it were decided upon well before the attacks. but you are right the U.S. is not in war with Iraq or Muslims but with the small terrorist group. Wait what? The news article I read said it was being built on ground Zero. If it's not then people are just idiots. I agree completely. The people at Fox News are complete morons.

I actually read it on Yahoo news but yeah, seems that people are just idiots. My guess is that the people writing these false news reports are just bigots who hate Obama because he's black, hate Muslims because of 9/11 attack they weren't even responsible for, or both.

Another new account? Could you at least not be so obvious with your user names. You just used the same name over again but wrote the opposite of your other name. Are you really so lonely that you have to argue with yourself just to get attention?
You know you could try making a legitimate account and effort to contribute something to the site. People might actually like you and respect you more if you stop trolling.

1 in 5 Americans surely can't have any clue about Islam. I think John Green covered it in his video, but Obama eats during Ramadan, donate 2% to charity, isn't any sort of vegetarian, drinks alcohol...and doesn't pray or go to mosque.

It's good that John is trying to educate people but it's at least still possible that Obama is just a very bad Muslim.
My mom is in the Jahova's Witness. I'm sure everyone knows who they are but might not know much about the religion. To a Jahova's Witness, all Holidays are pegan which means they don't celibrate anything. This includes birthdays and even wedding anniversaries. My mom however is a very bad Jahova's Witness because even though she read's their bible she very seldomly attends the Kindom Hall (their church) and still celibrates holidays.
In fact there are many people who consider themselves to be Christans but do not attend church every Sunday. Some people would argue that they're not true Christans if they don't go to Church but thoughs same people are likely to argue that you're not a true American if you don't vote.
Anyway, the point is we know he doesn't regularly practice the Muslim religion. We don't know if he considers himself to be Muslim but sense he's openly claimed to be Christan and I don't really see any benifit to lying about his religion so I think it's safe to assume that it's the truth.
Maybe it could of effected his vote but I'm betting anyone who still thinks we're at war with all Muslims also thinks that black people are all in gangs and probably didn't vote for him anyway.

rialvestro, you miss the point entirely...
it would not matter if Obama was Muslim or not, even if he was a bad Muslim

Did you even read threw to the end of my post? The basic summary at the end of my post was why would he even need to lie about his religion when it doesn't matter what religion he is.

Americans are ignorant by choice. Most of us repeat information that we are told without really thinking about whether it is true or not. If it is popular, in our eyes it must be true...in other words. For some reason, Right Wing people (who have self identified as Christian, by and large) seem to have tied Christianity in with Patriotism and free enterprise. They fear any hint of socialism, even though it was socialist thinking that gave us social security and medicare. The best way to fight this type of society is through critical thinking skills gained through education. America needs to smarten up. The question is "Do We Want To?"

Finland? Yanks? Why does every country think they're better than every other country. Every county sucks in their own way. We're not better than you and you're not better than us.

OH did you guys hear the latest? Republicans reaching out to Gay America to join their side of this "mosque" debate. i don't remember it word for word but the idea was that Muslims hated them more than the Republicans do so join us in this! lol seems all this hate is coming back to haunt them This movie came out in 1947. But I see the issue starting all over again. it's actually almost 18 mins long but the first 3 are cut off for youtube limits. This link can take you to the full file you can download if you wish www.archive.org/details/DontBeaS1947

who cares? Honestly, if he's muslim, cool, if he's not, cool. All this is doing is creating unnecessary rumors of something that quite frankly is none of our business.
