I hate the name OBAMAmore than Hussein.

I am certain I sound racist but if Obama wins the nomination, John McCain will be your new President of the sinking ship called America

The point is, like somebody else mentioned, we have a right to ask him about what is more important in his heart, his Muslim upbringing or his grown up professed Christianity. If I'm considering who I should vote for as the leader of our country and the free world I feel like I can ask these questions without fear of recrimination. Do you have a problem with that?

Hey, I'm pretty tolerant, but don't try to come to this site with your anti-Bamite commentary - it won't be tolerated.

I agree with that assesment as well. For years America hasn't been able to certifiably tell if McCain is liberal or conservative. This election is the most confusing regarding the candidates that I can remember in my lifetime, in the context that no one is worth electing.

If Barack wins the nomination, John McCain will not be President of the United States.

Yes, this is highly undesirable. How to discuss anything with someone like Ahmadinejad? The man is a lunatic. Discussing anything with him is a sign of weakness.

But my point is this: Is it unfair to ask BHO questions about his background? The man is potentially about to take on the most important job on the planet, President of the USofA. Is it not fair to ask some questions? Have we become that politically correct?

You're right, it's a job that requires a candidate to undergo a great deal of scrutiny. As a voter you are certainly entitled to consider his position on engaging in talks with our enemies. That is an issue that goes directly to his ability to do the job in a way that you see fit (or unfit). However, I don't see how questions about his religion (which he's already answered anyway) speak to his qualifications for president. It's not a matter of political correctness; it's a matter of relevance.

So what you're saying is religion has no bearing on being the president of this country?

I'm saying it has no bearing on the qualifications to be president. I don't care if he or she worships a ham sandwich as long as his or her policies are sound.

If Obama's policies remained the same in each instance, would there be a material difference in his qualification to be president if he were Muslim as opposed to Christian?

This argument is the main reason I don't frequent politics forums on message boards. The possibility of a raging firestorm exists in several quarters when discussing the relevance of a Muslim being the leader of our country in the wake of the results of what happened in New York in 2001. You brought up Muslim and a lot of people haven't and won't forget what happened on September 11th. Include me in that group.

Have you ever even picked up the Koran before? If you were even moderately educated about Islam, you'd find that it is just as peaceful (and open) as any other religion on this planet. Barring the radicals, muslims aren't any more threatening than a three-toed sloth.

If it's so open and peaceful:
1) Why all the secterian violence in the Middle East
2) Why can't Isreal and Palestine coexist without a wall sepearting their countries
3) Where are women's rights in Saudi Arabia

1. Mostly thousands of years of conflict between Jews, Christians, Muslims, etc. (as well as other numerous terrorist organizations and dictators).

2. Because of an ongoing dispute between the Israelis and Palestinians claim over the same area of land.

3. The House of Saud's abuse of the Sharia religious laws.
