→‎Quotation is irrelevant: Understanding his personal beliefs -- about which he's said little -- is not a criticism of him.

::Alan, it's not a big deal.  I have spent relatively little time discussing or editing these entries about Obama's religion.  But there is no denying that the personal religious beliefs of a president is a significant fact:  historically, politically, and economically.  Would Obama really defend Israel?  Does Obama have a private spiritual guide from whom he takes advice?  Now that Obama does not have another election, will he govern in a way more consistent with his personal beliefs, and what are those personal beliefs?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:46, 3 January 2013 (EST)

:::Thank you for your reply Andy...obviously, as an Australian, I cannot know the nuances of the American political situation other than what I read in the Murdoch press on a daily basis and, perhaps, I should not comment. BUT. Even as one who is firmly pro-American (apart from certain aspects of popular culture) I do find that the Right's ceaseless attack on Obama on matters other than aspects of his Presidency to be unfortunate. Like concentrating on Brahms' atheism or Horatio Nelson's adultery with Lady Hamilton. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 23:28, 3 January 2013 (EST)

::::Your point is well-taken.  But at this point I don't see why the observation that Obama is a Muslim would be considered so negative.  He's not campaigning any more for an election.  Understanding his personal beliefs -- about which he's said little -- is not a criticism of him.
