To some ...Obama is still a Muslim.
More than two months into Barack Obama's presidency, as many people incorrectly identify him as a Muslim as did so during the 2008 campaign. When asked about Obama's religious beliefs, 11% say he is a Muslim. In October, 12% said Obama is a Muslim, which was unchanged from earlier in the campaign.

In the current survey, 35% say they do not know Obama's religion, either because they do not know enough about him (22%), or because they have heard different things about his religion (13%); another 6% refused to answer.

As was the case last fall, white evangelical Protestants (19%) and Republicans (17%) are among the most likely to view Obama as a Muslim. Fewer than half in each group -- 38% of white evangelicals and 46% of Republicans -- correctly identify Obama as a Christian.

On another note , remember this ?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly seven in 10 Americans believe it is likely that ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the Sept. 11 attacks, says a poll out almost two years after the terrorists' strike against this country.
Sixty-nine percent in a Washington Post poll published Saturday said they believe it is likely the Iraqi leader was personally involved in the attacks carried out by al-Qaeda. A majority of Democrats, Republicans and independents believe it's likely Saddam was involved.

Is there a cure for what our country is suffering from ?

3. It's not just republicans
While relatively few Democrats (7%) say Obama is a Muslim, just 55% correctly identify his religious beliefs as Christian, down slightly from 61% last fall. Among independents, 10% say Obama is a Muslim (compared with 12% in October), while 45% say he is a Christian (50% in October).

We are talking about millions of people that ARE NOT republicans. Unfortunately

5. Who gives a fuck if he's Muslim, Christian or Hindi?
I'm so sick of right wing insanity.

7. Some see nothing but trash coming out of the Republican Party leadership
what can I say.. certainly not everyone who votes Republican thinks moon pies and RC colas are a food group on the food guide pyramid.

But millions do.. just one of those thingies..

Those who want to believe Obama is not a Christian, know he is, they just have nothing to hang on to..

They will just nasty away.. with time
