40% of the people voting in the republican primary in Georgia last week believe Obama is a Muslim. No doubt this is due in large part to right wing media propaganda.
Even if it were true - and it's not - so what?
There are about 1.5 billion Muslims in the world - about 20% of the worlds population.
Are people really going to hate and fear 20% of the worlds population simply because they follow Islamic teaching?
Put another way:
I am shocked and dismayed to find out that President Obama is a Christian.
Christians are terrorists.
Timothy McVeigh was a Christian.
I am shocked and dismayed to find out that President Obama is a Muslim.
Muslims are terrorists.
The 911 terrorists were Muslims.
