Of course it matters. The faith is what sets the belief, not an outsider looking in.
Its what the religion believes and recognizes. Why is this so hard for you to understand?

Even if this is 100% true, what's the point in talking about it? Exactly what is he hoping to accomplish?
Why are you AFRAID to discuss the issue?

I did not know that our religion was genetic.
You should pass that along to Islam there Redress. They never got the memo.

What are you talking about? Its the faith of Islam we are discussing. That is what they believe.
That is what YOU believe they believe.
What's far more important is what THEY believe you believe they believe.That is what YOU believe they believe.
Okay, so let's say that it is true that under the Islamic faith, the son "inherits" his religious faith from the father. As has already been echoed by the President himself, his biological father was never involved in his life. So, he didn't receive the teachings of Islam from him. Instead, he likely learned about it from his step-father who raised him until he was around 10 years old. But even that brief period isn't enough to cement the teachings of Islam into the mind of a child. It takes alot longer for those ideals to become habit forming.
Point is the man has stated publicly what his religious preference is, and he has done so on a number of occasions. It is public knowledge that he attended a Christian church for over 20 years. The anti-American rants by his former pastor notwithstanding, how do you remain with a Christian church that long and hide your Muslim faith? It's just not possible!
The President doesn't conduct himself as a typical Muslim despite having an accute understand about the religion. I just think it absord that we're even having this discussion!
But one religion does not set the laws of the world. Unless Obama himself recognizes that rule, it is void in this situation.
So because Islam might think something, it must be true now. Oh, the convoluted logic it takes to keep this crap going.
That is what YOU believe they believe.
Sorry dude. That is what they believe. Try looking it up or read above.
Don't Bother Tex, these folks don't care about the factual reality, that doesn't fit the Narrative of the One. Keep discussing it and they'll just spout BS and live in their own little world of ignorance and attacking you. They ain't worth the time, cause none have the intellectual honesty to even discuss the issue without becoming hyper-partisan defenders of Obama.
You are far harder on the reverand than I am which confuses me as to why you are being persued.
I'll say it again. It is what the faith says about the child.
Any child of Muslim parents is considered a Muslim, and Islamic law contains precise and detailed provisions regarding children. Islam is the system of beliefs, rituals, and practices traced back to the Prophet Muhammad (c. 570–632 C.E.), who reportedly started his mission in Arabia in 610 C.E. Islamic law is contained in the Muslim holy book, the Qur'an (or Koran), as revealed to Muhammad.

I fail to see why this is so confusing. This isn't a question of whether its right or not based on your moral judgement, its based on the fundamental law of Islam. He was born to a Muslim father and given and Muslim name. According to that faith, he is a born Muslim. It doesn't matter how often or not he practiced the religion as a child.
Later he decided to be baptized as a Christian so that is now his faith.
Those are the facts.
I fail to see what you are accomplishing by arguing against how a religion views a child.
But that is the problem here.
So many people have done the exact same thing you've done here. You speak as though you're of the opinion that "it's just a part of their religion...no big deal" yet you talk so negative about the Muslim faith under the false pretense, IMO, of being "cautious" about their attempts at subversion.
But instead of distinguishing between what sect or sects believe fully in Shariah Law and which one the President apparently "belongs to" as a "birth-right," you instead lump him in with ALL radical Muslims and place this layer of doubt that is steep in fear of Muslims. That is the problem here!
My point is even if the religion of the father is passed to the son under Islam and Muslims around the world claim the President as their "American-son", the fact is the only way his "religion" becomes problematic is if he followed the same subversive practises many believers of radical Islam follow. I see no sign of that in the President's behavior nor in what he says. Therefore, IMO, your fears are greatly unfounded where the President's religion is concerned even if he were a Muslim.
