Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Because a persons personal beliefs are reflected by, and reflections of, their choice in religion. And if we can't judge someone by their personal beliefs, what can we judge them by?

I'm not saying that we should look upon him unfavorably because of his being any particular religion, but that we should care about what kind of person he is.

Answer 2

Muslims use force including death and murder to convert people aside from that no reason.

Answer 3

He has been a Christian for most of his life. People are trying to smear him by claiming that he is still a Muslim.

Answer 4

I don't care if he's Muslim or if he worships doodle bugs. As long as he is has common sense & makes intelligent decisions, nobody should even mention his religion.

it's irrelevent

Answer 5

either way.... he's not.

Answer 6

he's not

are you muslim? should we care??

maybe Romney is a muslim

mormon and muslim sound familer so it must be!!

Romney is a Muslim everyone!

stop spreading lies!

Answer 7

It doesn't matter because he is not Muslim.

Answer 8

I like Muslims. They are very nice people. Probably the nicest and most polite I have ever met. We could learn alot from them. At the same time, I don't think the majority of American's would like to have one as President.

Answer 9

Obama is not a muslim, he is a Congregationalist (United Church of Christ). Same people by the way as the pilgrims.
And if he were Muslim, then it would only matter as to which sect he belonged, and what his views were.

Answer 10

we shouldn't, and besides he's not, so ur point is.......?????

Answer 11

He's not, so it's a non-issue...I hope that Clinton and Republicans continue to attack him...attacking a good man makes you look like an idiot and people are sick of that crap.

Answer 12

We shouldn't care about anyone's religion. Unfortunately, there are more people who say they don't care but really do.

Answer 13

While we should care about the personal choices someone makes, ultimately we shouldn't care.

That is, ultimately, the president is supposed to have a limited role in government, as per the constitution. The way America was originally intended, the President was not supposed to be the most powerful voice, the American people were.

"In questions of power, then, let no more be heard about confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief with the chains of the Constitution." ~ Thomas Jefferson

We would be wise to remember the ideas of a small, limited federal government. The kind that made this nation great.

Not great as in the largest military (surely a big federal government is responsible for that), great as in the most free nation on earth. Why have we given that up?

Answer 14

Muslim=one step from extremist.

Answer 15

Ummm..... because Muslims want to kill us?

Answer 16

You're kidding, right?

Muhammad said "War is deceit".

He went on to explain that any contract made with an enemy is a contract that is okay to break.

How can you believe with the war that The Muslim Brotherhood (Egypt, 1928) has declared that a Muslim might be a good choice for President of a Western Nation they have pledged to destroy?

A deceptive enemy might show up any where infiltrating a Western Nation. Look at Germany's current problems. Look at Spain's current problems. Ask a Frenchman about the Muslim riots that have burned numerous neighborhoods and public tranportations and private autos. Look at what is happening in the Caucasus and Central Asia.

Review recent world history and problems created by Muslims to find your answer.

It seems that bombings and disruption follows in their wake.

Answer 17

Not all Muslims want to kill Americans...get out of the paranoid state and realize that TERRORISM...is just a scare tactic..yes there are some Muslim extremist who would love to see us dead..but have you people forgotten that America is the most hated country in the world?! Can we really blame them though..look back on American history..and see all the damage we have really done. We have started more wars than any other country, dumped tons of oil in pristine rain forests.. ..wouldn't that make us Terrorists..What about people in our country killing our innocent people..aren't they terrorists???


Obama is not a Muslim..you people should get a better argument..and use some REAL knowledge!

Answer 18

We dont want Sheria law in the US, thats why.

Answer 19

Autumn,
I would have to disagree with most of what you say. Are you serious? You think that America has started more wars than any other country? Really? Wow… I guess your knowledge of history is lacking a bit. Rome, England, France, Spain, China….all have started more wars than us. India, Korea… and if you look at the local “wars” (i.e. small scale wars) then there are tons more. To flippantly act like America is the bad-star of the universe is extremely narrow minded. Whatever high school that you went to… you might consider suing them. Obviously they did a terrible job educating you.

And the people in “our” country killing innocent people… they are not terrorists… they are just selfish *******... because their purpose of their killing is not to instill terror or fear. it is a little more selfish that than. Usually to steal something.

You say that “I’m passionate about Unification, Human rights and I love culture and diversity and can't wait to get out of the USA for good!! I am thinking about to moving to a socialist country..because I hate capitalism..”

I hope that you do leave…it will give you a better perspective… We don’t need people that sit around and complain… we need people to stand up and fix the problems. So..Yeah.. good luck with that. You are 20 years old. You don’t know anything. I doubt if you have been anywhere. After you have been to 7-8 countries and lived out the country for 4-5 years… then you will be qualified to post an opinion about like that. And as far as capitalism goes, every county is capitalistic – their governments just provides different levels of “socialist services” Even Communist China is capitalist.

And just because you say something online – does not make it true.

But I do like your point that not all Muslims want to kill us. That I would definitely give some credibility to.
