The latest polls are showing More Americans believe that King Hussein is a Muslim. First, from Pew Research:
"A new national survey by the Pew Research Center finds that nearly one-in-five Americans (18%) now say Obama is a Muslim, up from 11% in March 2009. Only about one-third of adults (34%) say Obama is a Christian, down sharply from 48% in 2009. Fully 43% say they do not know what Obama’s religion is. The survey was completed in early August, before Obama’s recent comments about the proposed construction of a mosque near the site of the former World Trade Center."
Then there's this from Time Magazine:
"Nearly one-third of the country thinks adherents of Islam should be barred from running for President — a slightly higher percentage than the 24% who mistakenly believe the current occupant of the Oval Office is himself a Muslim. In all, just 47%of respondents believe Obama is a Christian; 24% declined to respond to the question or said they were unsure, and 5% believe he is neither Christian nor Muslim."
What gets me on that Time quote is that if people believe he's a Muslim they're mistaken. If it's a mistake, then why did Obama say "My Muslim Faith" when interviewed by George Stephonopolis? Why did he refer to himself as a Muslim when speaking to the Arab Street? Lastly, why does he always say Holy Karan? A devout Christian wouldn't do these things. Furthermore, you know the issue's cloudy when a White House spokesman has to say publicly that "The president is obviously a Christian. He prays everyday." The reality is Mr. Burton, it's not so obvious.
