Difference between religion, color and origin

Reader comment on item: Barack Obama, Google, and This Website
in response to reader comment: Obama used to be Muslim..., and so what?

Submitted by Straight_Talk_Luigi (United States), Jun 18, 2008 at 18:13

Religion is something you have a choice in. You cannot choose your skin color or country of origin. You can say you identify with a different country after you are born, however, in the laws of physics of this universe, origin cannot be changed logically.

Can you please point out anywhere on Dr. Pipes's personal page where anyone has said all Muslims are bad?

I will say this though: millions of Muslim expect you to make way for them, but they will not extend you the same courtesy, as a reader on a Muslim blog once said.

The fact that Obama used to be a Muslim can be seen as a great thing: He made the choice to become Christian. It would be great to see every single Muslim find Jesus.

It's just the Islamists want Obama to be a Muslim soooo bad they don't see him as an apostate, as they would if a female in their family married a Brazilian Catholic and converted, they say "once a Muslim, always a Muslim."

In Brazil, I hear the Protestant missionaries are turning up the evangelizing of Muslims down there.

Good for them!

George Bush is actually a better Christian than you think. He's against gay marriage, abortion and believes in treating immigrants from Latin America with compassion.

Obama is for abortion, gay marriage and his wife apparently doesn't like white people. He also thinks that rural Americans, like me, stick to my guns and my Catholic faith because I'm unhappy with the migrant labor situation.

Submitting....
