You verified my contention that saying Øbama is a Muslim means being a Muslim is a bad thing with your instant assumption that those making the claim are referring to "violent" Muslims. There are valid reasons why some people believe he is a Muslim, and none of those reasons link him to radical Islam. Extensive research has been conducted on his past, and that research shows he could be a Muslim expressed by Muslims in accordance with their religion. There are also many contradictory writings and verbal statements made by him that would cause some people to question his religious affiliation. You can read why some people believe he is a Muslim here: http://www.danielpipes.org/11952/obama-muslim-childhood Or you can dismiss any suggestions that his religious affiliations are Muslim based on a false belief that everyone making those claims only do so because they hate the man.
