Obama "Born a Muslim"?

I don't quite get how that happens, but no less an authority than Franklin Graham (no doubt still smarting from his exclusion from the Pentagon party) claims that Barack Obama was "born a Muslim" and that Muslimness (Muslimosity?) somehow is in the DNA of the father and if that "tainted seed" gets implanted in fertile Christian soil (i.e., his mother's virgin womb) and any issue from that implantation will be Muslim...

I am not making this up. See it here.

[Note to Franklin G: I think you would profit greatly from auditing a basic class in biology at your local community college.]

Fuck sake, no wonder so many of the Moron-American voting bloc think Obama's Muslim...

Not that any of that should fucking matter to begin with. It's really nobody's business what religion a leader professes to follow -- just as long, of course, as that religion doesn't have a god who is nudging him to push The Button (are you listening, Pat Robertson?).

Obama is not a muslim any more than he is a Christian. He is an agnostic and a secular humanist who believes in the liberation theology that sprung out of a radical segment of the black church.

Ah, racist-fascist logic at it's very best. With the Nazis, if your grandmother was Jewish, so were you and off to the death camps with you. How nice to know that Protestant America is now ready to espouse the same logic.

I have to go vomit now, thank you.

Lisa, I'd like to see some documentation for those off-the-wall accusations. And I mean REAL documentation, not something you saw on Clusterfox News or one of the rightwing blogs.

"THE TRUE BELIEVER"
Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. Thus people haunted by the purposelessness of their lives try to find a new content not only by dedicating themselves to a holy cause but also by nursing a fanatical grievance. A mass movement offers them unlimited opportunities for both.

Now, I am a sort of pagan-Hellenic-inclined secular humanist with a fondness for liberation theology as practiced by many Jesuit parishes of the Catholic Church myself. So IF I thought that was what Obama was, it might be the best news of my already shitty week. And wow....talk about out of the woodwork!
