Franklin Graham Says President Obama was 'Born a Muslim.' As Pew Poll Shows, More Americans Confused About President's Religion. - ABC News"I think the president's problem is that he was born a Muslim, his father was a Muslim. The seed of Islam is passed through the father like the seed of Judaism is passed through the mother. He was born a Muslim, his father gave him an Islamic name," Graham told CNN's John King in a televised interview that aired Thursday night.
"Now it's obvious that the president has renounced the prophet Mohammed, and he has renounced Islam, and he has accepted Jesus Christ. That's what he says he has done. I cannot say that he hasn't. So I just have to believe that the president is what he has said," Graham continued, adding that "the Islamic world sees the president as one of theirs."
Considering Obama's father abandoned him before he could even walk, I would say he didn't give much to Obama.
What does that have to do with being born a Muslim?
Belonging to a certain religion isn't something that happens when you are born, it's something that you decide for yourself. You can't be born Muslim, just like you can't be born Christian. There isn't a gene that decides your religion for you.

It doesn't matter what he was born. I was born and baptized Catholic but I am not a Catholic. I don't practice the religion, I don't go to Church, I dislike the Pope, and I am pretty much as far from being Christian as one can get.
Even if this is 100% true, what's the point in talking about it? Exactly what is he hoping to accomplish?

Very well said by the Reverand
It's amazing to me how so many Christians seem to claim authoritive knowledge over Islam and yet know so little about their own religion.
You need to read up on the faith of Islam. Sons are born into the faith by their fathers. Its in the Qur'an, not something you can judge for yourself. As Graham said, he's renounced that faith for Christianity but it doesn't change the facts.
So that means I can write a book, say everyone with a name that starts with a J belongs to my religion, and that means that everyone who has the letter J belongs to my religion until they denounce it?
Sure, but you'll have to wait 1300-1400 years, give or take.
Quickly, someone make me a time machine. I want to be a god worshipped by all those who have J as the first letter of their name.

this fellow is a reich wing evangelical who will say and do anything under the cover of Christ. he is a propagandist"The God of Islam is not the God of the Christian faith. The two are different as lightness and darkness."
But you can be born Jewish, if your mother is. I believe that's along the lines of what he is referring to.
That's not even close to what he's referring to. Jews are a race, not a religion. Islam is a religion. That's why I can't understand how Libbos think that disliking Muslims is racism.
