:: Okay, a couple questions.  1) Where are you getting this 1% figure from? 2) How was he raised muslim? Countless acquaintances of mine who were 'raised catholic,' spending ample time learning about Catholicism in school are nothing of the sort.  3) Why would a 1% conversion rate even matter? A person's religion isn't probabilistically determined.  By that logic, since 0% of previous Presidents were black, it's unlikely that Obama is president.  I don't like this guy or his policy, but real criticism seems to be the way to go, not pointless claims about his religion.

:::Also, as he is the president now, wouldn't it be far more constructive to work on things about his articulated agenda, and how it will affect Americans, write about how to influence our Congress people to stand up to agenda, and how to work with him to reflect what real Americans want - rather than report on unproven and unsupported claims?  It would be beyond comprehension if something said by panicked conservatives (not specifically here, just in genera) caused someone to think the right answer is to assassinate him.  Far better to focus on what we CAN do to remind our government who they serve - themselves or us.--[[User:JeanJacques|JeanJacques]] 11:26, 10 November 2008 (EST)
