| − | | + | * From what I've read, I believe that it's clear that Obama's Christianity is nominal or quite liberal, but not biblical. But the evidence of him being a closet Muslim is very weak at best (and exceeded by evidence for being non-Muslim), and more realistically is simply wrong in some cases (e.g. Muslim pronunciation of Pakistan), logically invalid (swearing on the Koran), or irrelevant (that he didn't change his name). The article has mostly said unequivocally that he ''is'' a Muslim, although this did get changed recently (but it's perhaps too soon to see if that sticks). [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.

| | + | * I think the "evidence" being presented here that Obama is a muslim is very forced. It seems like people really want to have something to criticize him about, so they twist anything they can to say that he is a muslim. I think the evidence against his being a muslim far outweighs that in favor of his being a muslim. As for his christianity, I don't want to judge his heart, but it seems unlikely that he has any kind of deep rooted christian beliefs. --[[User:CPAdmin1|Tim]] <small>(CPAdmin1)</small><sup>[[User talk:CPAdmin1|talk]]</sup> <sup>[[User:CPAdmin1/Polls|Vote in my NEW polls]]</sup> 14:58, 28 November 2008 (EST) |

| | + | *I think it is possible that he was born in kenya, but by no means a slam-dunk. I don't remember what the article says right now, but at one point it said "allegedly born in hawaii." It would be more correct to say "allegedly born in Kenya." Allegedly is a term used for an accusation. For example, if someone is being accused of murder, they allegedly murdered someone, they are not allegedly innocent. In the US, we are innocent until proven guilty. The accusation is of fraud on Obama's part in order to gain the presidency that he is (allegedly) not eligible for. He has to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. --[[User:CPAdmin1|Tim]] <small>(CPAdmin1)</small><sup>[[User talk:CPAdmin1|talk]]</sup> <sup>[[User:CPAdmin1/Polls|Vote in my NEW polls]]</sup> 15:03, 28 November 2008 (EST) |
