People are missing the point. It's not up to Obama. You CAN'T opt out of Islam like you can from Christianity.

Barack Obama was born a Muslim and spent his early childhood in a Muslim household. If he were to be declared by conservative mullahs to be an apostate (one who has forsaken Islam), he could not meet Nuri al-Maliki, Hamid Karzai, Pervez Musharraf, King Abdullah, Abu Marzen or any other Muslim leader. If they shook hands with an apostate, they would bring down a fatwa on their own heads.

But would he be declared an apostate? Koranic scholars differ.

This blogpost is balanced and has no anti-Obama agenda.

I'm a somali guy and I was really shocked to see how the Clintons played foul with the Obama picture. Dressing in such a way is common among Somali elders and the dress has no religious significance among Somalis. By the way Hillary also wore Islamic head gear.

I don't believe this will even effect Obama in a negative way.

Well at least liberals are equal opportunity bi-sexual pedophiles who want to screw everyone in the country...conservatives, on the other hand, are selective bi-sexual pedophiles, as they only want to screw everyone who isn't rich and white...I now understand why floyd types so many silly things, it's just so much fun...

B. Hussein Obama is a Muslim name. He did go to Muslim schools as a child. His brother is reportedly a radical Muslim... I am shocked, shocked I say to see Hussein dressed in Muslim garb. Zelsdorf Ragshaft III Uuuuuugggghhhh............... 'Hussein Obama' is the family name of his Kenyan father, who left the family homw when he was two, who he barely at all remembers and who died 19 years later without them ever having a further meeting. He didn't go to a 'madrassa' Muslim school in Indonesia as some have claimed, it was a run of the mill elementary school with Christian, secular and Muslim pupils. I went to an Anglican church elementary school which had Hindu and Sikh kids in attendance and I am neither an Anglican nor a Hindu or Sikh. You are 'shocked' to see him in Muslim dress? Were you shocked to find out George W Bush is a Japanese-Peruvian with a Vietnamese twist as well? There is nothing wrong with attacking someone's political motivations if you are well informed and make valid points. I am not the world's greatest fan of some of the more left-wing 'big government' stances of Obama, but you will do your arguement a massive deal of damage attacking falsehoods which have been spun up against someone in order to play to people's latent prejudices.
