This idea struck me after another poster on the 'Heaven and Hell' thread said "I thought our President was a Muslim" without giving any reason why they might think that (and given the track record no such explanation will be forthcoming).

Since, over the course of the next 24 months we can expect President Obama to be blamed for everything from people's partners leaving them to the extinction of the dinosaurs, I don't think we need to derail every single thread these myths will come up on.

So...President Obama is not a Muslim. He attended a UCC church in Chicago and is attending a Methodist church in DC. Since President Obama says he's a Christian, I can see no reason to say that he's not. I presume that he knows himself better than, say, any random commentator or watcher of Fox News.

That whole Muslim thing is obviously a cover for people that don't have the guts to say I don't like our president because he's black/part black. They aren't fooling me by any means.
