It is not startling or controversial to learn that in Islam, as in Christianity, the religion of a child is considered to be that of the father. It therefore is not startling at all that Obama's religion at birth was that of his father, namely Islam.
Reply
What is shocking is that Obama has so completely and in absolute terms denied he is Muslim - when the truth is that was his birth religion. After all, there is nothing wrong with Islam or being a Muslim, with over 1 billion adherents. The oddity here is to have a man so adamantly denying who he is and his heritage. This is why so many Americans are getting very suspicious of Obama - if he cannot even tell the simple truth about who he is, reasonable people ask, what other skeletons rest in his closet.-

Thank you for pointing out your racism.

People lie, but Obama has been a Christian for quite some time, is comfortable asserting he's a Christian and has acted more like a Christian than any GOP member I've run across.
Considering the number of lies per minute flowing out of the McCain/Palin campaign like crap through a sewer, I'd be less likely to believe their assertions. Remember that until recently McCain was atheistic and pro-choice. Until it didn't suit his political ambitions, anyhow.-

Based on the velocity and ferocity of the lies, distortions, and hate McCain has inherited more than just the same broken economic policies of the Bush administration.

Deny as he might, if it walks like Bush, talks like Bush, Lies like Bush, and Stinks like a Republican....just more of the same, McShame.
Do the honorable thing John, admit that you have joined the enemy of America, and tell the Audience that you are mad as hell and not going to do it anymore....you are going to vote for Obama.

As an American he is entitled to the laws and constitutional protection of this land. I don't believe there is an established releigion here so the customs and/or bylaws of any religion do not apply here, They especailly don't belong in a presidental election.
What is even funnier is that John McCain said Barack Obama is a Christian just the other day.
Are you one of the ones that boo'ed?
This is why so many Americans are getting very suspicious of Obama
It's only the wackos who believe that. Of course we have quite a few wackos so don't count them out, after all we did get 4 more years of Jr. didn't we? -

Thing is, you've obviously already made up your mind to what the 'truth' is. An an analogy: "Why can't you admit you're a foot fetishist? Nothing wrong with it, so why would you lie and say you are not? Since you can't own up to your own identity, there must be something wrong with you."
Reply
Obama's father was apostate at the time of Barack's birth, so he was not born Muslim. His upbringing was largely secular. In fact, Obama likely received more formal religious instruction at the Catholic school he attended.
I don't think anyone really knows what faith is about until well into their teens anyway. My early school records probably list my faith as Episcopal, that doesn't make me one now, and I don't think it made me one then either.-

You are ignoring that for a good part of the time he was in Indonesia he was raised Muslim and went to a mosque regularly. He learned the prayers. So for him to say NEVER is a lie. If he would have just admitted that for a while he was raised a Muslim nothing else would have been said. The problem is that he lied.

"...went to a mosque regularly." It was a few times. I went with my mother to church on holidays. I even recited a couple of prayers. I can recall the Lord's Prayer. Obama never said he never went to a mosque. He has said he was never a Muslim. He has certainly affirmed many in his family were Muslim, but he was not 'raised a Muslim' any more than I was 'raised an Episcopalian'. Church was never anything more than a boring bunch of mumbo-jumbo. One has to AFFIRM one is a Muslim, which Obama never did.

You WANT there to be a 'truth' for which there is no real evidence.

Obama, the Christian radical associate of Reverend Wright closet muslim who used a Christian Church as a 20 year beard and bows toward Mecca the requisite number of daily times in the back of his specially made tinted window PT cruiser, so no one can see
I saw Obama on youTube eating pancakes during Ramadan...
Y'all oughta just quit it with this stuff. America certainly has its share of idiots, but it's just not gonna work this time. I have to go blog abut stinky airplanes and voter fraud with people that haven't even voted and Obama going fishing and drinking coronas with Vietnam terrorists on his weekends, so I'll catch y'all later-

Digging deeper and deeper into a hole of desperation.
They are merely setting themselves up as opponents to ANY and EVERYthing that President Obama will do to right this country.
Unfortunately, they are more concerned with their 'party' than the betterment of our country.
Sad indeed. -

Karlyc: "in Islam, as in Christianity, the religion of a child is considered to be that of the father."
Reply
And all this time I've thought that a child becomes Christian when he/she is christened, and even then has to undergo religious education and various ceremonies to become a full-fledged Christian. I've learned something new again.

"This is why so many Americans are getting very suspicious of Obama"
I have news for you: those who are suspicious have always been suspicious. Nobody is "getting" suspicious. -

You are incorrect. I was speaking this weekend to a woman from Illinois, who had voted for Obama and had been a fervent supporter of his until a few weeks ago. Sarah Palin's candidacy made her an Undecided, and she has begun to be suspicious of some of Obama's claims and associations. She lamented his secretive attitude, telling me that they had all liked him so much in Illinois, saying he was "So GQ!" But now that she sees how many lies he's told, how many things he seems to be hiding, how many questionable relationships he has, she doesn't trust him any more. She wants to know what else he's hiding. She and her husband have changed their minds about voting for him.
Reply
So yes, some people are getting suspicious.
And they are voting McCain/Palin.-

"...secretive attitude..."?
Reply
The man has written extensively about his upbringing. I suppose y'all can claim a victory in making this an election more about image than issues.
You simply cannot come p wit a reason to for FOR McCain, so you manufacture reasons to vote AGAINST Obama. That's not Democracy, that's smear tactics.

Why do you say that Obama's birth certificate has to be the most scrutinized ever. When did the state department vet Obama birth certificate? It would help us all a lot if you could produce information on when Obama's birth certificate was vetted by the state department. Also, can you tell us why Obama just doesn't produce the real document?-

"No skeletons. He is a Christian. If you are a Christian, there is no other religion that is the truth. For a Christian to say he is Muslim is being a heretic. That would be true of any real Christian."

Just because Obama took up his father 's name doesn't mean he had to take up his religion to.That is the most obsurd thing I have ever heard. It's like , I am a jehova witness just because my father is. Barak knows nothing about the passing on to him his father's religion because he was brought up in America by his mother and grand parents who happen to be christians. Stop the hating and get ready for Barak to clean out the filth who's sitting and shaming the oval office

Obama's birth certificate has to be the most scrutinized birth certificate ever. If it's good enough for the state department, it's good enough for me. Let's see McCain's birth certificate. Barack Obama is a Christian. He say's he is therefore he is. You cons need to decide whether he is a muslim or a member of Wright's church. He can't be both. I would like you to tell me why being a muslim would make him unqualified anyway. Soitenly, what religion are you? Maybe you could post a certificate to prove what you are. You should change your avatar because you are an insult to Curley. You are a stooge though.

Not true, non-Muslims also carry that name, it means handsome...Barack is not a Muslim, but more importantly there is nothing wrong with being a Muslim, and FYI you can't "pass religion at birth" it's not genetic...lol! This is a non-issue...and just to let you know what's up y_soitenly...this is why Obama's favorables are soaring and McCain's Favorables are dropping and his negatives are rising...it is this type of nonsense that has ruined McCain's campaign and it is why he will ultimately lose.
Reply
And here is another point for you to reflect on Islam is a religion, not a race.
And how bad is your candidate that you are questioning someone's name....-

See, again you're assuming a past. You want Obama to 'admit' to YOUR version of his past. When he doesn't, it's automatically a 'lie'. I could say "Why can't you admit to a tendency toward **********? After all, you have a dog for an avatar. Hey, it's okay, we've all had impure thoughts after watching 'Lady and the Tramp'. Why can't you just admit it?"
Reply
You come into the discussion with a preconceived notion. You some how 'just KNOW' Obama was raised a Muslim when there is nothing other than YOUR VERSION of circumstantial evidence. Indeed, the weight of evidence points to Obama having a mostly secular upbringing and his early schooling was heavily weighted toward Christianity.

'Obama's Kenyan birth father: In Islam, religion passes from the father to the child. Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. (1936–1982) was a Muslim who named his boy Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Only Muslim children are named "Hussein".'
Reply
Sigh. Moron. Let me go through this is small, easy to digest steps:
1) For starters, the candidate's religion is irrelevant, so the entire discussion is ridiculous.
2) It is irrelevant what the position of Islam is on identification of a child's purported religion. This tells you nothing about the actual beliefs *of the child*. People choose religions. Religions do not choose people.
3) Simply because a name may be used by adherents of a given religion does not mean that others do not also use it. No one reviews names on birth certificates, and vets whether the parents are 'entitled' to use a particular given name. By your logic, every woman named Athena would be an active adherent to the religion of ancient Greece, every woman named Brigit would worship the gods of the Irish, and every woman named Elaine would follow the ways of the Welsh.
