Why are people lieing and saying Barack Obama is Muslim?

Because Hilary can't live without lies... is that it? Jesus Christ doesn't care what your name sounds like. Does he?

1. The "Obama is a Muslim" story came from the Republican side. It was originated from Obama's opponent in the 2004 Illinois Senate campaign, Andy Martin. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1189687/posts BEGIN QUOTE "I feel sad having to expose Barack Obama," says Martin, "but the man is a complete fraud. The truth is going to surprise, and disappoint, and outrage many people who were drawn to him. He has lied to the American people, and he has sought to misrepresent his own heritage. Fiction: Obama was given an 'African' name. Fact: Obama is a Muslim who has concealed his religion....he has treated his Muslim heritage as a dark secret. His grandfather was named 'Hussein.' That is an Arabic-Muslim, not African, name. Hussein was a devout Muslim and named his son, Barack Senior, 'Baraka.' END QUOTE The email began circulating not long after Martin's news conference, and was propagated in Debbie Schussel's opinion column. See Schussel's column here: http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2006/12/barack_hussein.html Martin stated again later that he had started the "Obama as a Muslim" rumor... "Yes, in 2004 I reported that Barack Obama had been a Muslim. I’m glad the L.A. Times finally caught up with my August, 2004 writing. I'm also glad all of the mainstream media around the world have, piece-by-piece, confirmed my original, and very controversial, reporting in 2004. Why did I have the story then, and they didn't?" http://www.politicalgateway.com/main/columns/read.html?col=754 But of course, the mainstream media did not confirm it...far from it... http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp Enough of the "Clinton started it" nonsense as well. Braman... Of course this is a reference to Obama's church. http://tucc.org/mission.htm BEGIN QUOTE: As a congregation of baptized believers, we are called to be agents of liberation not only for the oppressed, but for all of God’s family. We, as a church family, acknowledge, that we will, building on this affirmation of "who we are" and "whose we are," call men, women, boys and girls to the liberating love of Jesus Christ, inviting them to become a part of the church universal, responding to Jesus’ command that we go into all the world and make disciples! END QUOTE. So which is it, is he a "closet Muslim" or "Black Separatist"? Or Neither? And what's the difference between this and John Hagee's Cornerstone Church, which basically preaches non-negotiable support for Israel? Hagee's trying to ifluence Presidential politics with his support for Israel. http://www.cufi.org/site/PageServer
2. Peel off the veneer and she's as much a Republican tactician as Karl Rove.
3. I've done research, and in the eyes of Islam, marrying a Christian woman (Barack's wife) would be a sin. So would joining a Christian church. BESIDES... growing up, religion was not even a part of Barack's life. All it takes is a little research. ranger, born in Indonesia??? He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. If he was born in another country, he wouldn't be allowed to run for president. Don't you know anything???
4. Because they aren't smart enough, or energetic enough, to find real reasons to criticize him. And there are some.
5. he is muslim and hilary may as well be
6. Hillary did not start this. Obama is now a Christian. But isn't that a born-again Christian? Wasn't Bush a Born-again Christian too? Like Bush, Obama is a recovery-addict. This is a legitimate question: His history with controlled-substance will come back and haunt him.
7. If you cant win on real issues, throw mud.
8. It is the republicans saying this. They can't attack him on real issues, so this is all they got left.
9. Here's all you need to know about Obama: http://www.nysun.com/article/69273?page_... or Read this article: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/articl...
10. oh no he's not. his name is just barack hussein obama, born in indonesia. does it sound like mathew, mark, luke or john?
11. I can't tell for sure where the rumor came from, but somebody sure has been working hard trying to make it stick Welcome to backstabfest 2008. It's only beginning...
12. Guilt by association. If it quacks like a duck...
13. Because they read an anonymous chain E-mail without sources ad are somehow convinced that the E-mail contains more fact than the multitude of sources and references saying that Obama isn't a Muslim. Delusion? W/e they fail at reality anyway.
14. You're right. He isn't a Muslim ANYMORE. Now he's a "blacks only" "African" christian................much better! Here's the link to his church. And to all the morons who say "you can't attack him on the issues" so we have to call him a muslim: The guy is so far to the left that it's scary. Here's another link that shows you where he stands. It's pretty hard to figure out what he's for because all he ever says is "hope" and "change." That may make you lemmings feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but the truth is, this "change" will be a hard turn to the crazy left. You people who support Obama probably have no idea what he stands for. All you know is that "everyone's doing' it" and you want to be cool, hip, or whatever else you followers strive to be. Great, let's put an inexperienced, 40 something, junior senator in the White House at a time of war..............great plan!
15. That BS isn't coming from Hillary Clinton supporters--its coming from the religious right, mostly. They realize that the GOP has at least a s.im chance of beating Hillary--but no chance of all of beating Obama. And--in their narrow-minded view--the fact that Obama was born a Muslim and is black means he still is a Muslim--their own bigotry and intolerance prevent them from believing anyting else about a liberal black person. They do not regard Obama--or any black personn--as entirely human.
16. I am voting for Hillary and I don't like Obama. I am not racist. I believe people with strong personalities should be presidents. If Condy Rice was running, I would have voted for her. A president has to have something to offer. Obama has nothing. He ONLY TALKS about CHANGE. Change could be for the worse.
17. They don't have any real points to make against him, so they resort to mud slinging.
