Sorry, but Snopes is not a reliable source of anything. It is owned and operated by people who are known to favor Democrats, which by itself is enough to make it suspect. But, in addition, anybody can update a Snopes entry, and Snopes does not expend any great amount of effort to verify what gets posted OR what gets changed by others after the fact.
There have been a great many Snopes entries that have been found to be false and misleading because of that. What?  Snopes is not Wikipedia. Nobody can update anything on there. They also list all of their sources with is better than just about everything else floating around. |

If you can't figure that one out...well, I can't say it in polite company!
Are you saying there's something wrong with the Muslim faith? Absolutely. It is not the "Muslim faith" either, it is Islam. In any case, Islam is NOT a peaceful religion, and anyone who has spent even a rudimentary amount of time studying the Koran can illustrate that. In addition, the most common form of Islam found outside of Saudi Arabia is the Wahabbi sect, which teaches the doctrine of jihad against anyone who is not of the Islamic faith. Islam is rooted in the 14th century and has made little if any progress at all toward outgrowing the violence that characterized its birth. | | | John

Are you saying there's something wrong with the Muslim faith? Not in general, however, when it is sympathetic to the goals of the fundamentalists ( you know, those folks who have sworn to kill all the infidels)...yeah, I think so! | | | | Hal |

Doesn't alter the fact that you can't rely on what they say. You want to believe it, go ahead, but don't try to pass it off as truth to the rest of us. | | | John

(gah, stupid people who believe that) I seem to recall that most, if not all, the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 atrocity were Wahabbist muslims. Problem is that even if the rank and file muslim is not a radical fundamentalist or a terrorist, they have done nothing to disavow those in their religion who are even to the point of turning a blind eye when they know someone who is plotting some terrorist act. Also, to answer your original question about Obama being a muslim. There is a lot of unresolved evidence that points to that very fact, and there has been a lot of effort expended to prevent anybody from resolving those questions satisfactorily. | | | John

JFK nearly didn't get elected because he was a catholic. And historically speaking, we now know JFK should not have been elected at all. We now know that the State of Illinois was handdelivered to Kennedy by the poltoical machine of the elder Richard Daley and the Teamsters delivered Wwest virginia. <shrugs> And for those of you who just love to hate the late President Rcihard M. Nixon, he was well aware of this information at the time and KNEW that he had a legitimate legal challenge to the election but he CHOSE not to exercise that option because of the damage which he knew would be wrought on our Republic if he were to do so, unlike a former Vice President turned presidential candidate 40 years later. As John McCain is foind of saying...COUNTRY FIRST. But some people just cannot put aside their own personal ambitions. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!
