1. No He's Christian. His father is muslim, Barack himself has been christian for most of his life. Who cares what religion he is.
2. Obama is a waste. He is ruining the name of our great country. His name is barack hussain obama he is a terrorist
3. No he is Christian and goes to the Trinity United Church of Christ In Chapter 6 of the book, titled "Faith," Obama writes that he "was not raised in a religious household." He describes his mother, raised by non-religious parents, as detached from religion, yet "in many ways the most spiritually awakened person that I have ever known." He describes his Kenyan father as "raised a Muslim," but a "confirmed atheist" by the time his parents met, and his Indonesian stepfather as "a man who saw religion as not particularly useful." The chapter details how Obama, in his twenties, while working with local churches as a community organizer, came to understand "the power of the African American religious tradition to spur social change." Obama writes: "It was because of these newfound understandings—that religious commitment did not require me to suspend critical thinking, disengage from the battle for economic and social justice, or otherwise retreat from the world that I knew and loved—that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity United Church of Christ one day and be baptized." He has been a member of Trinity United Church of Christ for over twenty years.
4. he is now a christian. thats all i know. look it up on wikepedia.
5. He says he is Christian. His father was Muslim; his mother was atheist. .
6. Nope not a Muslim.
7. Obama is not a Muslim. I have not intention of voting for him (or Hilliary fro that matter) but it is true that he is not a Muslim. He is a Christian.
8. I know atheists with Christian names; this does not make them Christian. You can't be half of two faiths. Obama says he is Christian and attends church. He seems trustworthy to me.
9. This fact needs more broadcasting so that US voters at least know what they are voteing for
10. No, and if he was who cares, it doesn't change anything
11. His middle name is (and I'll butcher this) Hussain, also. One of his parents is of the Muslim decent. I'm thinking it was his mom. I would like to know more, but i don't. I suppose either of us could just google his name and the word history or biography and get some answers.
12. No, he is a Christain. The rumors are not true.
13. You will find out what his sympathies are only if he's elected president...or if Hillary lets him sit behind her during the State of the Union.
14. NOOOO!!!! That is a myth. He goes to a Christian church.
15. Yeah , the fact is he is a Christian.
16. Read the following article. He keeps this issue close to the hip. http://www.insightmag.com/Media/MediaManager/Obama_2.htm Though he was seen attending a Christian church, he is not a regular. I think a better question could be asked of him, "If you are sworn in as president, would you prefer a Bible or the Quran to place your hand upon?"
17. For the last...time...of...telling. NO.
18. No, he is not. His father left him when he was two
19. if my first name were kim and my korean friends last name was kim, does that make me korean?
20. The anti-christ will appear to be one of us to gain our favour before he shows his true colours...
21. No, he says he is not. Peace
22. Nope. That's a myth that the repulicans have been spreading to discredit him. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp Schneb is the typical republican troll that keeps the lies going as far as they can go. Thank goodness for Snopes huh?
23. His dad and mom are muslim and Barack is a Christian. but it shouldnt matter.
24. He says he is not and that is what as a Christian I have to accept but it does not say I have to vote for him. If he is a Muslim and is denying his faith then he is going to hell, would a Muslim do that to get rid of our country? That is a question you have to answer?
25. Barack Obama is a christian, he is not a muslim. His father is(was?) a muslim. I know Barack Obama is a muslim name, his father gave it to him. What means half-muslim? That his father is (was?) muslim but no his mother? I prefer to think of a person for what the person believes, not for what his parents belief or believed. Then if you want to label Barack Obama by his beliefs then he is a christian 100%, not a 50% muslim. Check his websites for more data.
26. Yes he is Muslim. It does matter if he is Muslim because he cannot take an oath to uphold our laws when he has to bow down to Allah. He has to obey the laws of Muslims. He hasn't saluted the flag or put his had over his heart for the Star Spangled Banner. We can't have a man that won't uphold the constitution.
27. Barack (spelled Barak) is also a Jewish name. He is a Christian and attends a Christian church though that church did give a good citizenship award to Louis Farrakhan, who is head of the Nation of Islam and hates Jews and whites. His father was Muslim but his mother was a Christian. A name cannot tell you what religion a person is. I have neighbors in Israel who have the last name of McCracken and Garza. They are both Orthodox Jewish families with Irish and Mexican names. I am not a Barack fan but really, why judge him by his names. Judge him by his deeds and words (or lack of them as the case may be) but not by his name.
28. Are you a republican?
29. obama sounds like osama.. and his middle name hussain is like sadam hussain.. he probbly sais that he is not muslim so those names wont be related to him... but i believe he is..
30. http://www.barackobama.com/learn/meet_barack.php Aboveis the link to barack obama's bio on his official page. Barack Obama is a Christian. His father is Muslim and Obama did live in Indonesia (a Muslim country) for a few years as a child. But no he is not a Muslim himself.
31. first off his name SAYS IT ALL!!!then there the little thing of HIM NOT USING A BIBLE TO BE SWORN INTO OFFICE!!!last, HE has no experience what so EVER!!!
32. I heard he pledged his allegiance to the U.S. on the Koran not the bible.
33. he is a christian. dont listen to any one else . my name is jewish and im christian so it really dosent matter . lol
34. Obabas' father was as Muslim, his step father was a Muslim, his 2 brothers are Muslims, he was raised as a muslim until atleast age 10. when asked about his step father at the 2004 democratic convention he LIED and said his step father was a "nonpracticing christian" when in fact he was a muslim. The church he attends Trinity United Church of Christ is lead by Jeremiar Wright Jr, Jeremiah got his degree in history of religions with a focus on ISLAM as his major. The former reverand at Trinity United Church(before Wright) left the church to join "the nation of Islam" these are all facts jack. From the south Bend Tribune... Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. who "eventually returned to Howard University to finish bachelor's and master's degrees in English with a focus on African spirituals. At the University of Chicago Divinity School, he earned another master's in the history of religions with a focus on ISLAM." "Wright has continued on an independent path, often questioning the common sense of Scripture"..... "In his 1993 memoir "Dreams From My Father," Obama recounts in vivid detail his first meeting with Wright in 1985. The pastor warned the community activist that getting involved with Trinity might turn off other black clergy because of the church's radical reputation. When Obama sought his own church community, he felt increasingly at home at Trinity." and the Snopes report that says Obama is not lieing about being a Muslim because Obama says he's not a Muslim does not cut it. “In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school,he wrote in his first memoir, “Dreams from my Father.” “The teacher wrote to tell my mother that I made faces during Koranic studies.” "Obama’s stepfather(Lolo) was a practicing Muslim." “It was to Lolo that I turned to for guidance and instruction,” Obama recalled. “During the five years that we would live with my stepfather in Indonesia, I was sent first to a neighborhood Catholic school(where he was registered as a Muslim) and then to a predominately Muslim school,” Obama wrote in “Audacity.” Obama — whose FATHER,STEPFATHER, BROTHER and GRANDFATHER were Muslims — explained his own first name, Barack, in “Dreams”: “It means ‘Blessed.’ In Arabic. My grandfather was a Muslim.” Obamas' latests book "The Audacity of hope" he writes "We are no longer just a Christian nation, We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of NONBELIEVERS.” nonbelievers? nonbelievers?! Who talks like that???? I have NEVER heard anyone, but a Muslim describe The United States as a "nation of nonbelievers"
