29% of Americans believe Obama is Muslim: poll

Misconceptions regarding US President Barack Obama’s religion are still rife with 29 per cent of Americans still believing he is Muslim, according to a CNN/ORC poll.

Obama, the first African American to hold the office of president, was born in Hawaii and is a Christian. However, when Americans were asked about his religious beliefs and place of birth, 29 per cent answered he was a Muslim, while 80 per cent said he was born in the United States.

In April 2011, amid questions raised by Donald Trump, Obama had released a certified long-form birth certificate, showing he was born at Honolulu’s Kapiolani Hospital on August 4, 1961.

Despite that, the poll findings suggest there are still misperceptions regarding the US president’s background. When asked “Where was Obama born, as far as you know?”, only 80 per cent of adults said they believe Obama was born in the United States. The other 20 per cent said he was born outside the country, including nine per cent who believe there is solid evidence of that and 11 per cent who say it is just their suspicion.

Although nearly three in 10 say they think Obama is a Muslim, a large number of Americans say he is a Christian. Among all adults, 39 per cent say they believe Obama is a Protestant or other Christian, four per cent think he’s Catholic, two per cent Mormon, one per cent Jewish and one per cent something else. Another 11% say he’s not religious, and 14% that they just don’t know.

The findings are consistent with polls conducted by ABC News and Washington Post in April 2010. The CNN/ORC Poll was conducted by telephone from September 4 to September 8 among a random national sample of 1,012 adults.

Even if he was, his lifestyle should tell us that he'd be a very poor one.

He is the male child of a Kenyan Muslim, Barack Obama, Sr. He is a Muslim apostate. Following the tenets of many of the schools of Islam, he is a Muslim by rite of his birth. That he denies his birth rite makes him an apostate, but still a Muslim. Many schools of Islam do not recognize a Muslim's right to denounce the faith that Allah ordained by his birth.

and yet he launched invasions of two muslim-majority countries, libya and syria??

I thought his father was an Atheist and his mother was Christian. So may be his father was an apostate.

and yet he launched invasions of two muslim-majority countries, libya and syria??

He also ended war in Afghanistan.

Those people are beyond dumb. Yes, there's a martian lizard costume under the human one, but what's under the martian lizard costume? The source of the world manipulation? Juice.

Luckily, it does not matter to the people who elected him to do the highest job in the land. Twice. As Colin Powell said, "so what if he is Muslim? Should it matter?". The separation of matters of religion and state has many dividends, and this is just one of them.
