Not that I endorse or would vote for Obama (at least not unless the alternative was truly horrible) but I don't think I would refuse to vote for someone solely because they are Muslim.

I probably would refuse to vote for a strongly fundamentalist Wahhabi (in fact I almost definitely would, maybe not if he was running against Stalin, but then I'd probably leave the country) but I've seen no evidence that Obama is one (or really that he considers himself a Muslim at all).

The fact that for a time he might have been enrolled in a Wahhabi school isn't really all that unusual. They fund many Islamic schools around the world.

What exactly is your point?

Which annoys you the most about Obama? The fact he is black? Or the fact he is a Democrat? Could it be both?

Osama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.

Osama or Obama? Above cut out of the Obama context.

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii.

Oh my God, Obama is Muslim. Thank you so much for finding that out......there is no way I can vote for him now.

Shortie, don't you have homework to do?
