You know what I don't understand?
Why anyone would believe the man is Muslim when 1) he says he is not and 2) it's been investigated by independent sources and they verify that he is not.
Now, irregardless of what anyone thinks of Muslims or their 'agenda', given the above facts why would anyone still believe the man is of another faith than what he claims?
I wonder if any of this is coming from any of the other candidates as its hard to believe that this could be officially sanctioned by anyone (unofficially of course...) - but then again we've seen a lot of smears against candidates, and obviously its nothing new to this election campaign.
It sounds like they want to create doubt about Obama by linking him with Islam - and probably not forgetting that his name is one letter off of Osama - though if anyone can be really stupid enough to buy that...
If I had to guess I'd say someone affiliated to some church group or other is propagating this stuff.
I read the other week that someone was making snide, slanderous comments about John McCain's POW experiences and conduct during the Vietnam war.
