::Furthermore, given the fact that if Obama converted, it would have been some years ago, probably when he was a fair bit younger. Given recent the recent trend towards a mass increase in population, contemporary figures are only indicative of so much.

::Finally, statistics for Turkey and the world are disanalogous to Obama's situation - the general Muslim population because many live in nations where apostasy is illegal, even a captial offence, and Turkey because it still has a Muslim majority - which America does not. Statistics about the conversion rate among Muslims (specifically, Muslims of East African or, given Obama's education, Indo-Chinese origin) ''in the US itself'' could prove far more enlightening.[[User:Legion126|Legion126]] 19:50, 27 November 2008 (EST)

== Can't we all agree ==
I have an argument for keeping all of the "controversial" items on the Obama page that I think we can all agree on. The page as it stands now should satisfy both staunch conservatives and staunch liberals. The conservatives should be happy because the page validates all their suspicions about Obama (e.g. allegedly born in Kenya, is a Muslim etc.). The liberals should be happy because they have a sense of humor, and can simply treat the page as a big joke and have a big laugh. If all that stuff were removed, the page would be boring. In fact, I think there are a lot of liberals that visit Conservapedia specifically for the laughs, thus increasing the hitcount and notability of the site (which is a positive thing for CP). I might also add that user Conservative is in fact doing a great job of promoting certain CP articles (e.g. on Evolution) by adding Hitler pics and other ridiculous item, which make liberals flock to the site to see what new stuff there is to laugh at. So stop arguing about whether the content on the Obama page is legitimate or not - the way it is now should satisfy both sides, just for different reasons. --[[User:JKurwa|JKurwa]] 12:35, 28 November 2008 (EST)
