Obamophobia

Whether Barack Obama has practised Islam or is a Muslim is not the issue here with you... You consider that only christians and Jews are civilised people who have the write to rule and govern the United States? I can spend hours giving details of the so called Christian US leaders who have killed millions and are responsible for misery around the globe. Please stop using excuses to stop a black person who attended school when he was a child from becoming the next president of USA. You should judge him by his current actions and views about his policies which he intends applying when he becomes the leader.

So what if he attended Islamic schools or went to mosques with a non-practising step father. He has lived in the US for a major part of his life and has earned his credentials in the States.
