So exactly what am I?

I am an American of Turkish descent. When I was a small boy I was taught Islam. My parents divorced and I attended a Baptist church. I studied two years at a Zen temple and one year at a Synagogue. I served in the US Army in Viet Nam, I worked for the federal government for 23 years - In my later years I studied at a Mosque in Rhode Island to reconnect with the history of my family. So exactly what am I?

Does Mr. Pipes consider my religion or at this time of my life lack thereof an important factor as to my value as a person or whether I am good enough to replace George Bush. Whether one supports Obama or not, arguments such as these ... are not worthy of discussion in the American body politic. ...
