The question of Obama's being muslim or not muslim is really something one cannot debate with conservatives. Reagrdless those who consider this to be an issue whould not vote for him either way. I do believe he was a muslim as a kid but converted to Christianity later. One does not have a choice many times of one's "official" religion as a child. Anyways, I always thought that the constitution says there are no religious test. This should not even be a topic of debate.

No kidding. I get those Human Events emails (which is how I keep up  
with Pat Buchanan and Ann Coulter). I forward some of the loopier  
ones. I didn't forward that one because I didn't want to participate  
in the "Obama is a secret Muslim" thing, even by making fun of it.  
It's almost too ugly and stupid to laugh at, even.
