Poll: Obama-Muslim Misinformation Continues
| Thu Apr. 2, 2009 8:21 AM PDT
We all know that there are some people who are so entrenched in their political views, and get their news from such incredibly partisan sources, than they can never be convinced to change their minds on anything. And yet, I'm stunned by this. Pew:
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.
Jesus.

Muslim apostates are to be put to death. Gentle Jesus meek and mild only throws his apostates into a pit of horrendous torturous suffering for all of eternity.

According to Christianity anyone can repent and be saved. Who do you believe, those silly Muslims or crazy old Jesus?

In fairness even the smartest people occasionally get confused and will accidentally answer that he is a Muslim when they really should know that he is not.

This country was founded on the principles of freedom of religion. What a bunch of hypocrites the religious wrong(right) is! It shouldn't matter what religion or no religion. It only matters what kind of person. Obama is a good man.
