I wasnt sayin you were racist, i said the Daily Mail was racist, it is. I agree what you said tho, we should be able to post anything as a topic as long as its not plain racist, sexist, homophobic or offensive. If you dont like the topic or it isnt of interest to you then you can just ignore it.
I still dont see why the US media and many of the public want to paint Obama as a muslim?
Does it matter? Radical muslims are just as bad as radical christians? Im an atheist so do i only vote for atheist politicians? Makes no sense to me, i dont care what you believe privately about religion.
Btw, Fox etc and most tabloid papers will and do mis-quote and take things said oit of context every day to make a story from nothing, controversy sells.
ANY president for instance who visits a muslim country in his role as leader of the USA will praise the people, the country, their religion etc and generally talk nice about them, its greasing palms etc, all politics. Im sure they could dig up some Bush quotes in favour of Islam too if they wanted to make that the story, but hes not black and was a hardcore christian from Texas.
Like i said tho, i just dont understand why it matters even if the president was one day to be a muslim?
I'm on a forum or two that religious debate and debate of pretty much any kind is accepted and welcome. I see it's pretty much frouned upon here so I'll do what I can to refran from starting other threads based on this topic. I'm not looking to upset the apple cart as much as I am feeling out who sits where and on what fence.
What I do enjoy about this forum is that you have members from around the world not just the US and I get better views on topics of question.
The only reason I see the muslim thing being an issue for the US is that muslims are now pushing to have their religious law accepted in US courts, and yes that I have a problem with. As for Bush, well you all don't know me well/long enough to know what I think of that moron. he's not relly a moron, but it's an insult to the man. He and his father took giant steps into destroying the US as I once knew it. Bush senior started using term like "New world order" and "One world government" Bush II started the "Patriot act", a direct breach of the US constitution which Obama has extended, so I feel the same for Obama as I do Bush. Ones religion in this matter has nothing to do with how I fell about them.
