Do you think that Barack Obama would have made it this far in the campaign for presidency if he were Muslim?
These are the words that came from a Caucasian womans mouth, “She says that she is a proud Obama supporter, and saying that “If Barack Obama is Muslim, he would not be the next presidential candidate. Reason being, the CIA, would have investigated him thoroughly” Unless we believe that extremist make it to the top in America. We have to concur that the CIA, has done it’s job.
Barack Obamas father was a man from kenya, as is stated. Is the first Muslim that most Americans associate with related to Malcolm X? There is a large population of Muslims in America. From all walks of life, all nationalities as is discovered in the Middle eastern countries. It is also found in Africa. Although this country was founded on mostly Christian backgrounds, it is still becoming a metropolis of many sorts.
What proof do we truly have as Obama being Muslim? Is this a plot to engage in scare tactics for Americans to keep his ranking down? Seems probable. The association of Malcolm X is still lingering in minds everywhere, and so is 9/11. There are many different groups of Muslims and the Taliban being one is a radical group of extremist. You also have the Shiites Muslim group. Some are radical, some not. We have an African American based Muslim group called, The Nation of Isam. Which has headquarters in many different states. You also have the Muslim/Christian group. This group is catagorized as a people that believe in both doctrines of religion.
On religion…many say that this country was founded on Christianity, but in all actuality, this country was founded on freedom of religion. Makes sense when you see the host of different religions. When you think about it, the Lutherans and the Protestants left England to escape the Catholic Church. Due to the hitman (literally) preachers from the Catholic church, that would hunt them down and kill them. Our history shows that if you weren’t a part of most groups of religion, then you were against them.
This entire barrage of questioning whether Barack Obama is Muslim or not, is holding no merit in this country. Not only is it creating more division, but it is also a prime example of what many races endured in America. We can be sure that he is not a Muslim, since we have him tied to the a “Christian” based organization for many years. And although many don’t like his pastor of choice, you can’t stick a magnet on him that says he is Muslim. He is clearly linked to the Christian Church. But if he were Muslim, would that matter? Are we still linked to the 9/11 devastation? If so, why aren’t we linked to the KKK? Yet they are still in this country. That’s right, they sure are, in the form of skinheads. You know it’s true and they are radical. Will you question their being in this country also, or are you only concerned with Senator Obama?
There are many Christian men that say that they have the countries best interest. I will name a few… KKK, their belief stunned a nation with their lynchings of blacks. KKk member ranged from pastors, to teachers, to law enforcement. Many pastors, say that they have the interest of America, but the fat cat pastors such as Creflo Dollar, and the non evasive John Hagee, with his many awkward views on humanity and Christianity. What are they doing to help the country? There is a bigger issue than the falsehood being shared and discussed by many against Barack Obama. 
Many are inspired by this man. Many men, black and white, along with many other races are truly happy to see the stand he takes in this country. People may call him arrogant, but is that the price you pay for being a black man in this country who has confidence? Most definitely. He is confident and secure with himself. He is a man that stands alone and is a self thinker and self starter. He doesn’t wait for the crowd to join him, he leads the crowd, by his actions. What more could a country want?
