And another point he made which I forgot to include is that in Islam, the father hands down the religion to his sons, which I believe with basically what Rev. Graham Jr. said. So Graham was right.

However, he was curious to know under what rites the parents got married because if she married under the Muslim rites then Obama was a Muslim by birth in its totality. But if she didn't and she didn't accept that Obama was a Muslim from her side of the birth, then it is a open issue.

So now the question is, are the evangelical/Christian right saying that they agree with Islam that the father hands down the religion automatically and that if the mother is a Christian, she does not have any right to the claim that Obama is also a Christian?

I realize it is an intellectual debate and has no bearing on Obama being President. But then the dumb religious right should explain why they accept Traiq Aziz with a Muslim sounding name as a Christian and they insist on the Hussein name as being Muslim to label Obama as Muslim and denying him the right to choose his own religion. If I recall, he has said he changed his name from Barry to Barack so as to have some connection with Africa, his father's birthland. And that is about the least connection he has with his father's side of the birth.
