Have Americans got a problem with Muslims then?
Jim.
Evidently Judy thinks so because in my original post I referred to
Obama as a Muslim and she and a couple others became overly
defensive of it, calling it a dirty trick and a lie etc. and calling
me a xenophobe and a racist. You know, the common attack liberals
make against people that don't share their political agenda. Yet she
was the one all upset at Obama being referred to as a Muslim as if
it were an insult and a smear. I think the average Muslim in the
know would have said "No, he's not a Muslim even though his father
and step father were." I doubt they would have taken it as a smear,
probably more as a complement.
The rumor some Christian denominations are spreading is that he'll
wait till he's in office and then "decide" to revert to Islam. Calling
him a Muslim or hinting at his early life and/or father just tends to
reinforce these fears.
