The Barack-Obama-is-a-secret-Muslim internet rumour is one of the stupidest ideas going, which is why I suspect many journalists keep it going--to make Obama's opponents appear stupid. But the hoax is about what you would expect from anonymous people operating on the outer limits of the world wide web. More disturbing is the zeal with which actual journalists, working for reputable publications, operate to expunge any potentially damaging bit of information, even if true, from Obama's biography. Here's Newsweek's Jonathan Darman offering up theories explaining why Obama's support has declined in recent weeks: "Some of Obama's lag in white support may be explained by continual confusion over his religious identity. Twelve percent of voters surveyed said that Obama was sworn in as a United States senator on a Qur'an, while 26 percent believe the Democratic candidate was raised as a Muslim and 39 percent believe he attended an Islamic school as a child growing up in Indonesia. None of these things is true." I've tracked down the source of the damnable lie that Barack Obama attended an Islamic school in Indonesia. It's a book called Dreams from My Father. On page 154 it reads: "In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school, two years at a Catholic school. In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell my mother that I made faces during Koranic studies."

What's funny is to go to a site of Obama worshipers and they are convinced the media is horribly against him and in the bag for McCain.

This people should not bother about Obama's life in religion.It makes no sense when one develops an ill motive of using petty things as escape courts to deny Obama the leadership.Let these people give to Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser and to Obama what belongs to Obama.
