Depending on the town, some could be. My wife thinks he's secretly a Muslim, though I told her nah, he may be only pretending to be Christian for political reasons, but he's actually not anything religious in his heart. Did you know most of the Muslim world thinks he's Muslim too? It sounds to me that it would bother you if he WERE Muslim. Lots of people may be wrong about his being Muslim but they're not wrong to think he's a poser and doesn't mean a lot of what he says. Example: The other day he said he doesn't let his kids listen to rap music cause of the violent nasty lyrics. But there is a youtube of him giving a speech to a black audience where he tells a touching story of his youngest daughter not understanding one of the lyrics of her favorite rap song - one by Snoop Dogg which happens to be full of violent nasty stuff. So the claim to be protecting his kids from rap music is a lie - a position he took publicly just to sound good. You really can't believe anything he says. We can't believe he was friends with Tony Rezko for 20 years and didn't know Rezko's low income housing projects in his district were unsafe and substandard (Rezko had to be sued 12 times by the city over buildings being w/o heat in the winter). We also can't believe he was Jeremiah Wright's friend for 20 years and didn't know the man despised "God damn AmeriKKKa".
