Survey Shows Majority of Alabama/Mississippi Voters
Think Obama Is Muslim
According to a
recently-released survey, many Alabama and Mississippi Republicans
overwhelmingly believe President Obama
to be Muslim. Public
Policy Polling asked Republicans in the two states, “Do you think
Barack Obama is a Christian or a Muslim, or are you not sure?”
In Alabama, 45% said “Muslim”, 41% said “unsure.” Only 14%
said that the President is Christian.
Mississippi Republicans were even more distrusting of
President Obama’s faith, with 52% saying he was Muslim, 36% unsure
and only 12% saying Christian.
Since the beginning of his presidency, Obama has been
dogged by rumors that he was lying about being a Christian, despite
religious scholars calling his faith “explicitly Christian.”
“Obama may be the most explicitly Christian
president in American history,” Messiah
College professor John
Fea wrote in February.
“If we analyze his language in the same way that historians examine
the religious language of the Founding Fathers or even George W.
Bush, we will find that Obama’s piety, use of the Bible, and
references to Christian faith and theology put most other American
presidents to shame on this front. I think there may be good reasons
why some people will not vote for Obama in November, but his
commitment to Christianity is not one of them.”
