Even if he is not a Muslim, we will make him one

Dear Dr Pipes:

Obama has openly declared that he is a Christian. Let us say he lied. Then why are we so eager to expose his lies? Muslims are just the opposite. If someone says the shahada by mistake, they will clap and accept him one of their own and kill him should he ever want to renege. But we are all out to prove that Obama is not a Christian. When I see President Obama's wife and children walking around in a Hijab, I will believe that he is a Muslim. Until then, for me, he is a Christian who is anti-Israel and pro-Palestine (Just like President Carter). And, the latter is my reason for not ever voting for Obama.

But if he wants to lie about his faith and say that he is a Christian, I will encourage him to lie. In fact, I will encourage every Islamist to lie and say that they are Buddhist, Jew, Parsi, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Native American, atheist whatever.
