By their fruits ye shall know them, and so we know him. Stop beating people up for being logical. Robert Spencer explains, referencing a 2010 article of mine to fisk a spectacularly clueless Slate article:
The Leftist media just can't figure out why people would think Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim. They think, as this witless article in Slate shows, that it must be because of his name, or his race. It never occurs to them, or they deliberately wish to obfuscate the fact, that Obama has repeatedly reinforced this impression throughout his presidency. Whether he is a Muslim or not, he has acted favorably toward Islam and Islamic supremacism from the day he took office. Pamela Geller included a lengthy but still partial list of the many ways he has done so in an article she wrote in June 2010:

And that's just up to June 2010. It isn't as if he has changed course since then. And while he did approve of the killings of bin Laden and al-Awlaki, he has never done anything or said anything negative about the non-violent advance of Sharia in the Islamic world or in the West, including the U.S.
"The Muslim Rumor That Just Won't Die," by Matt Taylor for Slate, June 22 (thanks to Kenneth):
Ever since he began running for president in 2007, Barack Obama has been dogged by rumors that he's secretly a Muslim. Whether it's his exotic name and background, the color of his skin, or (most likely) some combination of the two, the Muslim lie just doesn't seem to go away.
Each time it has begun to fade from public discussion, the Muslim rumor has cropped up again, like it did last year when real estate tycoon Donald Trump, who was publicly weighing a presidential bid at the time, insisted he had evidence showing Obama wasn't born in the United States (and that his birth certificate might show that he's Muslim).
In response, the president eventually took the extraordinary step of releasing his long form birth ceritificate [sic], which showed he was born in Hawaii as claimed. But a new Gallup poll finds that even now, a healthy chunk of Americans believe the rumor:
Just 34% of Americans correctly say U.S. President Barack Obama is a Christian, while 44% say they don't know Obama's religion and 11% say he is a Muslim.
Obama is a Christian and has labeled himself as such as in his writings and interviews, and while living in Chicago he attended the Trinity United Church of Christ. Since moving into the White House, Obama has attended several different Christian churches….
Many Americans Can't Name Obama's Religion Gallup Politics June 22
PRINCETON, NJ — Just 34% of Americans correctly say U.S. President Barack Obama is a Christian, while 44% say they don't know Obama's religion and 11% say he is a Muslim.
Obama is a Christian and has labeled himself as such as in his writings and interviews, and while living in Chicago he attended the Trinity United Church of Christ. Since moving into the White House, Obama has attended several different Christian churches.
Americans are indeed more likely to say Obama is a Christian — mostly a generic "Christian" or "Protestant" — than to say he identifies with any other religion. In addition to those who name a specific religion or don't offer a guess, 8% say he does not have a religious affiliation.
Americans are more likely to know Mitt Romney's religion than Obama's religion, with most Americans correctly saying Romney is a Mormon and a smaller 33% saying they don't know.
Eighteen Percent of Republicans Say Obama Is a Muslim
Democrats are more likely than Republicans to be able to name a religious faith for Obama, and are more likely to say Obama is a Christian. Just 3% of Democrats say Obama is a Muslim.
Republicans are less likely than Democrats to say what Obama's faith is and are more likely to say Obama is a Muslim. It is unclear whether the 18% of Republicans who say Obama is a Muslim do so because they truly believe this is his religion, or because it is a politically charged idea.

Ref:”And while he did approve of the killings of bin Laden …”
Don’t be fooled by this! Obama did not get Osama! Benazir Bhutto identified Osama’s murderer long befor Obama came on the scene…then she was assasinated!
You nor anyone else has any proof that Obama got Osama…Obama destroyed ALL the eveidence! Now why do you suppose he did that?

Obama is a Muslim! Those that say any different are not paying attention to his words and/or actions! Wake up and smell the roses!

Anyone who thinks Obama is a Christian truly does not know what a Christian is. This man is not only NOT a Christian, he is anti-Christ and anti-Christian. Noone, NOONE who claims to be a Christian could favor abortion, gay marriage (those 2 alone disqualifies him from being a Christian) and, not to mention, he and his wife cannot even espouse the basics fundamentals of Christianity. You people better wake up and realize that this man hates the U.S., Israel, and God. He loves Allah, Muslims, and is an evil man.

Let’s see..his middle name is Hussein..a muslim name.
He said in an interview, “My muslim faith”.. and that the call to prayer was the most beautiful sound on earth.
He is the ultimate taqiyyameister.

Obama has strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. There are at least 7 people with strong ties to the Brotherhood working in the White House now.

His mother registered him as a Muslim when he went to school. Records are very clear on this. Now even the Revered Wright is on record saying that he was a Muslim . Wright claims Obama was having a hard time coming to gripes with be being Muslim but attending the Revered Wrights church. (Which can barely be considered a true Christian Church).

I’m with NORM in comment #1. That entire Osama-bin-Laden fiasco was scripted and the Seals were sworn to secrecy or face prosecution under National Security guidelines. We all know how this corrupt administration operates. Who in their right mind, democrat or Republican, would NOT want the voting polls purged? What logical reason not to purge them except for utilizing those names in the next election! Why sue Arizona for immigration enforcement when the Arizona laws mimic the federal laws??? Why would obummer say he will stand with the muslims no matter which way the wind blows unless he is a muslim. His words and actions don’t leave any doubt in my mind what his religion is. When’s the last time he went to church??? The Bush’s and Clinton’s always had their photos taken on Sundays at church..Him and his whole administration make me sick to my stomach. I can’t stand looking at any of them. I also feel the same way about the main stream media. I haven’t watched any TV news since October. Even FOX is starting to take a middle ground approach like Bill O’Reilly. At least here on the internet I get to pick and choose conservative websites and I just love this one. Thanks Pamela…

Muslim or not: the man is barking mad. That’s for sure.

Norm: you are correct. Osama has been dead for many years, and Ovomit lied and claimed that he got him. There was never any proof of Obama’s claim (burial at sea and no pics?…yeah…right…), and basically everyone who knew the truth is now dead.
The Bible says, Ye shall know them by their fruits. There is no way a Christian man would support partial birth abortion (or any kind of abortion) or sodomite marriage, as Ovomit does. A Christian man would attend church (where the Bible, not Black Liberation Theology, is preached) every week, and would raise his children as Christians. Ovomit has not even pretended to do any of that. There is no way that a Christian man would take the side of the Muslims in EVERY conflict. There is no way a Christian man would hate Jews that way Hussein does. Christians love Jews and support Israel. Hussein does not do any of those things. Hussein has not even really tried to hide whose side he is on, and it is NOT our side. He is on the side of the Ummah and the worldwide Islamic Caliphate.
Thanks for this great post, Pamela. Hussein’s true loyalties have been well documented here.

And, of course, there was that “My Muslim faith…” statement by Obama while on the air with George Stephanopoulis.
Besides, if Obama’s father was a Moslem (he was) the Obama is a either a Moslem or Moslem apostate.

At a four night lecture at a chuch in York Pa. during the question and answer period the question was ask “Is Obama a Muslim ?” One of the speakers was Dr. Daniel Shayesteh who in the past was both a Muslim and a Hezbollah member and now is a Christian and he answered “I don’t konw if he is a Muslim but his deception is Islamic.”
and “When he speaks he sounds just like a Muslim.” Dr. Shayesteh also said about Obama that “He is going to hurt this country.”

Obama thinks allah is the god of Abraham…He thinks the koran is a holy book…He thinks mohammed was a real prophet…He also said the shahada in the presence of Nick. Kristoff in 2008…..He is not only a muslim he is their long awaited madhi who incidentally Mohammed said would have his family name HUSSEIN.. Most of the 12 imams were named HUSSEIN…

Barack HUSSEIN Obamahammed is as much a muslim as he is a traitor & liar to the American people for his destruction of this country.After he gets booted out of office this year he can then take over His motherland of Kenya & give it a new name of The Socialist Utopia of Sharia & The Pedofiles
