→Arguments for Obama being a Muslim: new section
:That's the name he was sworn in under. He's not ashamed of his middle name, why are you? Fair and balanced is a news organization motto, adding a middle name to each President is not a requirement here. Though nobody is stopping you from additions.--[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 23:19, 10 May 2009 (EDT)

== Arguments for Obama being a Muslim ==
While there is enough proof to convince me Obama is a Muslim in the article, but some of these proofs are untrue or misused:
'''
Obama declared in prepared remarks, "The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans. Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority country - I know, because I am one of them.'''
''
Obama is saying that he is a person who has had "Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority country" such as his father and Indonesia. not that he is one of those Muslims. That is my interpetation of this statement.''
'''
He has said that "Islam can be compatible with the modern world."'''
''I think that lots of things can be compatible with the modern world (like my Mac!) but does that make me a follower of the Mac necesarily?''
'''
Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset," and recited "with a first-class Arabic accent" the opening lines: Allah is Supreme! ... I witness that there is no god but Allah ....'''
''
I think that many Christian prayers are beautiful, and I'm Jewish!''
'''On the campaign trail, Obama was reading "The Post-American World" by Fareed Zakaria,[32] which is written from a Muslim point-of-view.[33]'''
''Fareed Zakaria is my favorite author and journalist,and is one of the best journalists in the world. I've read his book many times and I'm still not Muslim''
'''Obama enjoyed a bigger increase in voter support in 2008 (compared to 2004) by Muslims than by any other voting group, including blacks;[38] "Muslim turnout in the U.S. elections reached 95 percent, the highest Muslim turnout in U.S. history."[39]'''
''
Similar things happened for Obama with Hispanics, and I think we all agree Obama is not Hispanic. Maybe Muslims were excited to finaly have a president with a Muslim backround after 8 years of Bush, who they didn't like at all.''
