During a campaign rally, two Muslim women in Muslim garb, were removed from prominent camera view. The reason is A) Obama doesn't want his image assoc. with Muslims B) or doesn't like Muslims (we know the opposite is true). Now, he doesn't want images of Muslim assoc with him because he is A) secret Muslim  or B) the American people will think he is a Muslim. (Which 27% already do). Did Obama try to hide his Muslim background and is that plan still in progress?--'''<font color="#6698FF">J</font><font color="#E41B17">p</font><font color="#F88017">a</font><font color="#347C17">t</font><font color="#A74AC7">t</font>'''<sup>[[User:Jpatt|  ]]</sup> 17:52, 16 November 2008 (EST)

:::Are A and B the only choices on why Obama does not want himself associated with Islam?  Is a false dilemma being proposed? For example, setting aside whether it was right or wrong which is a whole other discussion, did 9/11 drive up the American public's negative beliefs and/or attitudes regarding Islam?  Would the American public look less favorably upon a candidate who received some Muslim religious education (Obama also received Catholic training in his youth. And there is certainly reason to believe that a certain degree of philosophical skepticism was imparted to Obama via his mother). In short, I think the above post fails to use the principle of using the total evidence (see my posts above) plus contains a false dilemma.

:::Let's say that Obama "doesn't want his image assoc with Muslims". This is probably because there are many ignorant people who believe him to be a Muslim. Honestly, if the women were shown prominently by the camera, you would probably just be saying "He's a Muslim because he was talking to two Muslim women!" Get real, some of these arguments are so far-reaching they're laughable. [[User:Rkstiner|Rkstiner]] 18:56, 24 November 2008 (EST)
