::::::::::: Philip, I must respond in no uncertain terms, even if it means risking getting banned for saying my piece to an admin.  I find your comments highly offensive, and indeed reprehensible.  When you accuse my opinions of being illogical and unevidenced, you attack my character and attack my intelligence.  You do '''not''' have a monopoly on logic, and what conclusions you consider logical are '''not''' universal.  You can dance around it all you like, but what you are accusing ASchlafly, myself, and others of is no less that stupidity (inability to reach ''your'' conclusions through reasoning) or malice (intent to deceive through including this information).  Many users on this site have reached different conclusions than you on this matter.  We may not be administrators, but our reasoning is no less solid.  Obama's religious past is suspect, and riddled with episodes that cast serious doubt on his alleged "christianity."  We conclude from this, and his "gaffes" (to quote Picasso, "there are no accidents") that he is quite possibly a Muslim.  There is no certainty of this, but the evidence is enough to necessitate the evidence's inclusion (along with its associated conclusions) on this website, further as the liberal media is adamant in its hiding of this evidence.  You may disagree, but that does not give you the right to treat us with condescension.  Obama's potential muslim heritage is '''not conjecture''' and it is '''not POV.'''  It represents a broadly, if not universally held conservative view.  [[User:RodWeathers|- Rod Weathers]] 22:37, 24 November 2008 (EST)

Not that it should make a difference in the first place to one's opinion of him, but the claim that Barack Obama is a Muslim has been repeatedly disproven.  Not only is he a lifelong Christian, but his nominally Muslim father was in fact an atheist, and not a practicing Muslim himself.  I find it unfortunate that people who call themselves Christians, conservatives, and patriots perpetuate repeatedly disproven falsehoods under the cover of truth, and blame any criticism of their lies on the "liberal media" and political correctness.  It is not "liberal" or "conservative" to tell the truth.  There are plenty of issues for conservatives to oppose Obama on without manufacturing information about him, and were you to do so, it would make mainstream America take you more seriously.  This does not help the cause in the least.
