I ask, so what if he is a Muslim similar to my question of so what if Mitt Romney is a Mormon. Both these men are excellent candidates to be President. Is it that Christians are superior to people of other faiths similar to what was sid some 50 years ago that the White race (genes) is superior to that of the African gene?

I would have no problem if he were Muslim. However, he isn't. So its become a way for his opponents to call him the n word without saying it. That's why I find it offensive.

And let me add, I am annoyed at how divided liberals are at a time that they can't afford to be. The danger this democracy currently faces has been building for 30 years and intensified under Bush. Dems better wake up before it too late.

These polls and the subliminal message it sends to the world is the cause of the attacks like the recent one in Afghanistan where 6 Americans were murdered, execution style, by the Taliban. If the US press and the minority group in the US want to respond to such Taliban attacks through these anti-Muslim inciting polls, then God save America.

That's the problem, Chinu. The Rs don't care. They are rejecting the improvements in racial relations that have occurred in this country for the past 50 years. I don't know if you heard the conversation that Dr. Laura S. had with a black woman that led to her decision to retire her show. She used the n word 11 times during that discussion but for me that was hardly the racist part. Her other statements were far more racist. And when Rs are confronted with her rant, they claim its not racist at all. Just the truth.

They are in revolt. Its not an actively armed revolt but its very close. We are very close to civil war IMO.

My question again, so what if he is considered a Muslim. Would it have made news if he was considered c Christian?

No. Because Christian is a not a de facto slur like Muslim is for a certain group of people in this country.
