10. I think it is worrisome for 2 reasons: (1) the anti-Muslim issue and (2) the anti-fact issue.

I agree that these are not people who think Obama is Muslim and that's just fine -- they are people who bandy about the label Muslim as if it were synonymous with foreign or unAmerican.

Plus, everything about Obama (from his diet to his policies to his comments on faith) are all decidedly non-Muslim. To believe that Obama is Muslim, you have to make a number of counter-factual assumptions about Obama and about Islam. The sheer ignorance and misinformation is also troubling.
