Growing number in America believe Obama a Muslim - poll
Mr Obama, a Christian, celebrated Ramadan with Muslim Americans and foreign dignitaries this month
A growing number of Americans incorrectly believe President Barack Obama is a Muslim, research suggests.
Some 18% said the president was a Muslim, up from 11% in March 2009, according to the Pew Research survey of 3,003 Americans.
Among Republicans, that number was 34%. Just a third of those quizzed correctly identified Mr Obama as Christian.
Polling was done before 13 August when Mr Obama defended Muslims' right to build an Islamic centre by Ground Zero.

Forty-three per cent of those questioned said they did not know what Mr Obama's religion was.
The White House attributed the mistaken beliefs about Mr Obama's religion to a "misinformation campaign" pursued by his political opponents.

I'd answer yes in that poll, if only to send the talking heads into a tizzy trying to explain it.

The party of lies and deceit has been busy gathering up the credulous and nasty of the earth and feeding them lies to stoke their hatreds.

The good news for Obama is that in the same poll that found this confusion about his religious beliefs...(Even 43% of Democrats said the "weren't sure" what his religion was....) is that 81% said they didn't feel that his religion, (whatever they thought it was ) was a negative factor in his performance as President....

President Barack Obama has blasted a poll which reveals a fifth of Americans believe he is Muslim.
In an interview on NBC Nightly News, the U.S. President blamed the confusion over his religious beliefs on 'a network of misinformation that in a new media era can get churned out there constantly'.
He has also faced persistent accusations that he was not born in the U.S.
'The facts are the facts. I can't spend all my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead,' he said.
'If I spend all my time chasing after that, then I wouldn't get much done.'
Mr Obama was responding to a poll released earlier this month by the Pew Research Center which showed that 18 per cent of people believe he is Muslim.
That is an increase on the 11 per cent who said the same in March last year. Just 34 per cent believed he was Christian, down from 48 per cent on 2009.

I do not think Obama is a Muslim. However, I ALSO do not think he is a Christian. I suspect that, were he given truth serum and asked his religion, he would have to respond with something along the line of, "I am not a particularly religious person."
