The Associated Press goes a little ape-shit crazy about the new Pew Poll results<http://pewforum.org/Politics-and-Elections/Growing-Number-of-Americans-Say-Obama-is-a-Muslim.aspx#1>that show a growing number of Americans consider Obama to be a Muslim/Non-Christian. This is a concern to the Associated Press and they go out of their way to defend Obama which continues to shine the light on liberal media bias. The Associated Press <http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_POLL_OBAMAS_RELIGION?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2010-08-18-23-43-51> reports: Americans increasingly are convinced -* incorrectly* - that President Barack Obama is a Muslim, and a growing number are thoroughly confused about his religion. Nearly one in five people, or 18 percent, said they think Obama is Muslim, up from the 11 percent who said so in March 2009, according to a poll released Thursday. *The proportion who correctly say he is a Christian is down to just 34 percent.* *The largest share of people, 43 percent, said they don't know his religion, an increase from the 34 percent who said that in early 2009*. The survey, conducted by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center and its affiliated Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, is based on interviews conducted before the controversy over whether Muslims should be permitted to construct a mosque near the World Trade Center site. Obama has said he believes Muslims have the right to build an Islamic center there, though he's also said he won't take a position on whether they should actually build it. In a separate poll by Time magazine/ABT SRBI conducted Monday and Tuesday - after Obama's comments about the mosque - 24 percent said they think he is Muslim, 47 percent said they think he is Christian and 24 percent didn't know or didn't respond. In addition, 61 percent opposed building the Muslim center near the Trade Center site and 26 percent said they favor it. *The Pew poll found that about three in 10 of Obama's fiercest political rivals, Republicans and conservatives, say he is a Muslim*. That is up significantly from last year and far higher than the share of Democrats and liberals who say so. *But even among his supporters, the number saying he is a Christian has fallen since 2009, with just 43 percent of blacks and 46 percent of Democrats saying he is Christian.* Three out of ten Republican/Conservatives think Obama is a Muslim. That's 30%. Notice below those states that only 43% of blacks and 46% of Democrats believe Obama is a Christian?Does that mean that 57% of blacks and 54% of Democrats believe Obama is not Christian? The Obama White House dispatched someone to help the Associated Press with this report... Obama is the Christian son of a Kenyan Muslim father and a Kansas mother. >From age 6 to 10, Obama lived in predominantly Muslim Indonesia with his mother and Indonesian stepfather. His full name, Barack Hussein Obama, sounds Muslim to many. White House officials did not provide on-the-record comments on the survey, but they prompted Pastor Kirbyjon Caldwell of Houston to call The Associated Press. Caldwell, who said he has known Obama for years, said the president is a Christian who prays every day. He said he was not sure where the public confusion about the president's religion came from, but he called false media reports about it "a 24-hour noise box committed to presenting the president in a false light." Read the entire article and you will see the Associated Press defend Obama. After all, they have covered his ass since day one. I wonder if the majority of Americans feel Obama is not a Christian due to his actions? Falsely praising Muslims and Islam for imaginary contributions to the history of the United States and bowing to Muslim kings may explain these beliefs. Not to mention that Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is one of the "prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."<http://select.nytimes.com/2007/03/06/opinion/06kristof.html?_r=3&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin> Add a comment to this post<http://scottystarnes.wordpress.com/2010/08/19/poll-growing-number-call-obama-muslimnon-christian/#respond> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/8890/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godelicious/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/8890/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gofacebook/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/8890/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gotwitter/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/8890/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gostumble/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/8890/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godigg/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/8890/> <http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/goreddit/scottystarnes.wordpress.com/8890/> [image: WordPress] WordPress.com <http://wordpress.com/> | Thanks for flying with WordPress!
