is barack obama muslim?

Public Comments

1. Nope.
2. NO. And he wasn't brought up a Muslim either. He has really nothing to do with Islam.
3. NO
4. Not since 20 years. He's more like a racist now. http://web.archive.org/web/20050208150948/www.tucc.org/about.htm
5. He was brought up as a Muslim - don't know if he still is.
6. Why does it matter?
7. I'm pretty sure he's not - why does everyone seem to ask this question?
8. No actually, that is just his father coming from a muslim background, he is actually a christian.
9. Is George W. Bush a Buddhist?
10. no
11. Not in the open world
12. no
13. Although I am voting for Hillary, Barak Obama is a Christian. Obama is especially proud of being a husband and father of two daughters, Malia, 9 and Sasha, 6. Obama and his wife, Michelle, married in 1992 and live on Chicago’s South Side where they attend Trinity United Church of Christ. AND THATS THE FACTS!!!!
14. He claims to be a Christian, although if you look at some of the garbage his so called "religion" teaches, it's not very Christian at all. His father was Muslim and Obama did attend Muslim schools as a child, so there has to be some sympathies there.
15. no, he's christian. some people think he's muslim though because his middle name is hussein
16. he is a Christian (United Church of Christ) although his name sounds muslim ! but his family background is muslim & his childhood went with muslim ascent
17. he says he is some united church, and has planned pics taken of him going into churches. however, his mother dated a muslim for many years while he was growing up, and she "converted". so his religious background is questionable. this is all supposedly though, i have little valid sources. ps let me add, people think this because it has a ring of truth.
18. As long as it's freedom of religion Obama can be a Jedi Knight Purist.
19. For the five billionth time....he was born to a Muslim Father, had a Muslim Step-Father. He became a Christin.
20. Is this some of sort of strategy the Clinton camp has come up with? Keep dragging a dead horse around and maybe it'll come back to life.
21. He most certainly is.
22. no bush is a satanist
23. For the zillionth time, no he is NOT! He is a Christian and a member of a Protestant church.
24. No He has a Muslim name He belongs to a black church This is a non issue Focus on these Experiences How many people are saying he was doing drugs as State senator.
25. Barack Husseing Obama, what does the name tell you? It does not take a idiot to figure it out. Geez get a brain!!!!
26. No, he is not a closet muslim, or a closet homosexual. As a closeted homosexual Republican I will vote for our bottom, John McCain, even though he is WORSE than John Kerry. It hurts, but we, as gay , closeted homosexual Republicans must be submissive and serve in our appropriate place.
27. he's christian but a lot of morons try to push the theory that he's secretly a muslim because they are small minded losers
28. I think so... yes!
29. No, he is a Christian. He just happens to have a Muslim background. It's true that his middle name is Hussein, but last I checked no one wanted to know if all the people whose FIRST names were Joseph were future dictators. And the fact that his religion matters is clear proof that America has not gone anywhere near as far as people believe it has.
30. He has muslim ties. Obama himself is just a racist.
31. He isn't, but do you see how bigoted it sounds to imply that it matters if he was? Don't know about everyone else, but I have Muslim friends, and I cant imagine how they must feel when they hear or read some of this anti Muslim rhetoric... And I understand you are just asking a question......
32. YES. He is also a card carrying Communist and Red Chinese operative as well as a spokesman for Al Qaeda. I don't know how he finds the time to campaign for president. He gives new meaning to the subversive phrase multi-tasking.
33. You know, when you're asking a question how they display questions that are similar to yours, so you can check out the answers to those questions? Well you should pay attention to that.
34. Senator Obama is not a Muslim. Even a small effort by checking out factcheck.org or snopes.com would have given you the answer. This question has been asked numerous times, and it should be very easy to confirm with a search on Google or the equivalent. Please reply to whomever has misinformed you that there is unequivocal evidence that Obama is indeed a Christian. Fight against the people who stoop so low and spread lies when the issue is as important as a national election.
35. NO he is not, but to those people who say who cares if he was, I would have to disagree. Just read the Koran, and it's message of total global domination. There is no place for that in this democracy, and certainly not in the beliefs of the leader of the free world. I have been to the website of his church ( to the best of my knowledge it is his church) and they do claim to be "unabashedly black" and very much favor the interest of Africa. I question putting anyone in office who is "unabashedly" anything. Could you imagine the screams that would take place if Hillary claimed to be from a church that was "unabashedly" female? Sorry, but Obama seems to be playing up his blackness, while keeping his whiteness in the closet.
36. Barack Hussein Obama is a Christian with Muslim background. Does it really matters, really? I think its good for US to have a president with that kinda bakground. Perhaps we can see things in different kinda views. It will change the perceptions of most Americans who has totally misinterpreted about Islam in general. Bush is totally bias and 100% anti-Muslim. Is this really fair to have this judgment especially when you are a president??
37. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgdTRuWRfP0&feature=related He denies being Muslim and he supposedly beolngs to a Church of Christ congregation in Chicago although there are many things about his background that don't add up. I don't buy it and you really have to wonder why if he doesn't lean towards Muslim beliefs has he not been more outspoken about the terrorist attacks on the United States. His pastor is quoted as saying that this is retribution on "white America" for racism practiced in the world. But I knew some people that were in the Twin Towers. Most of them were good people and although it might dissapoint Mr. Obama's pastor many of them were black. Obama is a good speaker and he is taking full advantage of America's desire for change. In fact, that is all he is talking about. It's too bad that he isn't offering any details on his plans for change. Most poeple figure that is because he has no details and he is just trying to make an appeal to people's emotions. I would almost classify Obama as a Con-man. When he said that he would pull out of Iraq but that he would attack Al-Qaeda if they came into Iraq it was pointed out by the McCain campaign that Al-Qaeda was already in Iraq. Once this was pointed out Barak responded that they wouldn't be there if it wasn't for the decision made by McCain and George Bush. First, let me say that was a very slick response and I have to give him that much. But, there were many Democrats that voted for the war too. I think that given the chance many politicans would not have voted to pursue the Iraq incusrion. Second, and this is most important, Barak's response totally skirts the fact that he took his position on Iraw without any knowledge that Al-Qaeda was even in Iraq. How can this guy claim to be qualified to head the greatest nation in the world if he doesn't know what's going on? I realize that Michelle obama would probably disagree with that statement too.
38. obama is definately christian. and a name is just a name. the guy pretty much said "i'm not muslim, i'm catholic" so why are you people trying to find trouble where there is none? that's just paranoia...get real
