Obama slips on TV: 'My Muslim faith'
Presidential candidate drops line in interview discussing his belief

Slip of the tongue or momentary confusion? In a television interview today discussing his religion, Sen. Barack Obama stated, "My Muslim faith."
Obama, speaking to ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "This Week," was talking about what he described as "smears" that were claiming he was a Muslim when he maintains he is a practicing Christian.
"Let's not play games," Obama stated. "What I was suggesting – you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you're absolutely right that that has not come."
Stephanopoulos immediately interrupted Obama, stating, "Christian faith."
"My Christian faith," Obama quickly said. "Well, what I'm saying is that he (McCain) hasn't suggested that I'm a Muslim. And I think that his campaign's upper echelons have not, either. What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith – something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time."
The statements came amid an exchange in which Obama accused Republicans of spreading "lies" that he is a Muslim. McCain, though, has strongly condemned such accusations.
"These guys love to throw a rock and hide their hand," Obama said.
But Stephanopoulos corrected the Illinois senator, stating, "The McCain campaign has never suggested you have Muslim connections."
Obama replied: "I don't think that when you look at what is being promulgated on Fox News, let's say, and Republican commentators who are closely allied to these folks."
"But John McCain said that's wrong," Stephanopoulos shot back.
Obama's momentary slip was immediately picked up by scores of Internet blogs.
Obama has long denied he was ever a Muslim. His campaign site states: "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian."
But as WND reported, public records in Indonesia listed Obama as a Muslim during his early years, and a number of childhood friends claimed to the media Obama was once a mosque-attending Muslim.
Obama's campaign several times has wavered in response to reporters queries regarding the senator's childhood faith.
Commenting on a recent Los Angeles Times report quoting a childhood friend stating Obama prayed in a mosque – something the presidential candidate said he never did – Obama's campaign released a statement explaining the senator "has never been a practicing Muslim."
Widely distributed reports have noted that in January 1968, Obama was registered as a Muslim at Jakarta's Roman Catholic Franciscus Assisi Primary School under the name Barry Soetoro. He was listed as an Indonesian citizen whose stepfather, listed on school documents as "L Soetoro Ma," worked for the topography department of the Indonesian Army.
Catholic schools in Indonesia routinely accept non-Catholic students but exempt them from studying religion. Obama's school documents, though, wrongly list him as being Indonesian.
After attending the Assisi Primary School, Obama was enrolled – also as a Muslim, according to documents – in the Besuki Primary School, a public school in Jakarta. |

Is it worse to be Christian or Muslim?
I'd say they are equally disgusting; would be a much better world if rational adults didn't have to pretend to believe in fairytales in order to be elected to public office.
Are they running for President or Sunday school teacher?

...if America gets to, or somehow over extends itself like Rome, Comrade, your prophecy may manifest and your joy thrilled a thousand times over....but if your hope, the "massa-iah" doesn't make the throne...at least the other "lame duck" won't have balls that shrivel when he sees a real woman step up to the plate to match his tongue..
...then we'll see which Lady, fat or vigorous, will sing...Comrade. |

| I couldn't care if he worships a Spider. He's no doubt far better than that little demonic piece of offal from Crawphuck Texas and that Arizona Albino that voted on Dubya's crap 90% of the time. |

Hasn't Obama publicly professed he is a Christian? Yes.
If Obama was a muslim apostate, wouldn't many muslims demand that his heresy be punished? Yes.
Where's the outcry? Nowhere, except that from folks that would like to suggest that he is/was a muslim in hopes it will detract from his popularity. |

Old overplayed propaganda. What else would you expect from these
Right-Wing Moral Orals ? They are merely parroting what their demonic Corporate Masters tell them . |

BlackJim,

Kudos to you! |

| Point isn;t what religion he is, the point is his lying and covering it up. Just like the covering up of their ministers views. |

The point is he is an avowed Christian.
The point is if he were a muslim apostate, then muslims would be crying for his blood AND they are not. <--- Please explain this one Greenster.
The point is you are recycling this dishonest, divisive propaganda purely to detract from his popularity.
There's a damn good reason our country had a well established tradition of separation of church and state. |

I really don;t care why the Muslims aren;t screaming about it, but that tells me by your own admission Muslims would "cry for blood" as you put it. You argue for muslims being a peaceful reliogion and in the same breathe, acknolwedge their propensity for violence as the normal reaction, had Obama converted to Christianity. In that absence you deduct Obama is not lying because if he were, the Muslims would what his blood.
To answer why Obama would lie is a no brainer about his Muslim and Rev Wright background politically. The fact the Muslims are silent is also obvious. They would love to end up having a Muslim, even if he converted, in the White House. The question is if he has really converted, when you connect his ministers views.
I could care less if he was a Muslim, I question the coverup. |
