Yeah, but it's not a totally unfounded belief, as you were implifying.

I think it's just stupid to think he's muslim. If he says he's not, then there's no point at doubting he is one lol. And to people who think he's lying because he's president, it's pretty huge to start lying when you're a kid so you can one day become president lol.

^This does not apply to Muslims, because he might just be practicing Taqiya. The Islam is an ideology where you have to hide your faith if that will benefit the Islam.

I am by far not a friend of Islam, but thinking that Muslims do nothing but lie to non-Muslims because their holy book says so is naive beyond imagination.

True, do nothing but lie to non-Muslims wouldn't benefit the Islam at all. They only lie when it benefit the Islam, like saying "Islam is friendly to non-Muslims", "religion of peace", "Muhamed didn't war", "Islam is female friendly",etc..

I guess there are a lot of Muslims that take the Qur'an literally like that. Just wanted to point out that Muslims aren't an army of people who all act the same, just like Christians aren't. A lot of Muslims support Donald Trump, for instance.

50% or more Trump supporters will disagree with you.

Yeah, like, 1 in every 100,000 Muslims in America.

Funny how people say islam is not a religion of peace, thinking christianity is so better at it... Really, when you read the bible (the real one, not the soft one edited by the Vatican), you'll change your mind about your religion of peace.

They're both wrong. Its Buddhism.

You're all wrong. Its Atheism.

lel nope. Mao, Stalin, etc.

Its Atheism.

LOL. Atheism produced Maximilian Robespierre and the anarchy of the French Revolution.

I actually went to the trouble of translating in french a debate between Hitchens and Ramadan on the very question "Is Islam a religion of peace". The translation is crap, but very interesting debate

No, that's wrong too - there are Buddhist extremists (that I have shown you some examples).

Dogmatism with an agenda is the real foe. And it can be in any faith, or antifaith (atheism). It is most important to be apatheist, to not care about faith.

have lived in a Muslim-majority country - I know, because I am one of them.

Obama lived in Indonesia, which has the world's largest Muslim population within its borders. That's what he was referring to.

I doubt Obama's a Muslim- he's very blatantly breaking their dietary restrictions (beer, bacon, etc.) and very clearly values the lives of American soldiers far more than he does the lives of Muslim civilians (see: drone strikes- for the obvious reason that the political cost of killing 10 Yemenis is a lot lower than the political cost of losing an American soldier outside of war).

Exactly. I doubt he is Muslim, but he has a huge Muslim influence on him

What do you mean by Muslim influence? He's far from a Salafist sympathizer, if that's your implication. Probably has the same attitude toward Muslims as the average Democrat.

Eh. His dad is Muslim, he was taught in a Muslim school. Seems to me he has a lot of influence from Islam

No, that's wrong too - there are Buddhist extremists (that I have shown you some examples).

Okay fine its Taoism. Find me a Taoist extremist.
