Seriously, this should be removed. If he says he is a Christian then he is a Christian. You can't go and examine the details of the lives of every person to see if they are a "true" Christian or not, isn't there something in the bible about not judging people? None of those points give any real plausible reason to think he is a Muslim. Just because conversions are rare does not mean they are impossible. Congratulations, Obama may just be a part of that 1%. His name does not reflect his faith, every man named "Jesus" is not a Christian. Respecting a man who was Muslim does not make you a Muslim. I'm inspired Ghandi and that doesn't make me a Hindu. Reading a Muslim book does not make you a Muslim. I'm read parts of the bible, the quar'an, the torah, the dhammapada, the Rig Veda, as well as works of fiction written by the views of all of these religions. It would be silly to say that I am an adherent to all or any of them just because I have read them. Pronouncing the name of a country correctly is also not an indication of religion, or is General Petraeus a Muslim too? Of course I also wonder why this is such a prominent thing to begin with. He's a presidential candidate and the top of his page here is devoted to speculation about his religious faith. Isn't his policy much more important? I for one don't see the problem in having a Muslim president. --[[User:Rainedaye|Rainedaye]] 17:03, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

You can't go and examine the details of the life of every person to see if they are a "true" Christian or not, isn't there something in the bible about not judging people? Or should we start seeing if we can judge whether the rest of the candidates are ''really'' what they say they are.
