Umm I beleieve Malcom X was both, and actually becoming Muslim made him a lot more peaceful of a person.Supernovajake said:Some are saying he's Muslim and some that he is African American. Which is it?
Uhhhh... wiki... it can have misinformation.... He, like many other people, were born as a certain religion, Just as I was born Jewish but raised Christian. He is not a practitioner of Islam, but under simple technicalities of certain religions, he's still Muslim - persay...thebobmaster said:Actually, he's not Muslim, as a look on Wikipedia will show.Supernovajake said:Yeah. I realise the blindness of my post now. I guess Obama got unlucky being both. Thats just double the racism for him. Ah well, he's the president now, I'm sure he can take it.Fr331anc3r said:You can be both..... look at most of Northern Africa..... Islam (Muslim) is a religion, predominantly held by people of Arabic descent. But with the Ottoman invasions across much of Northern Africa there is also a large African population that is considered Muslim. You want to get really technical, there is also a very high Muslim population in Spain due to the same thing....Supernovajake said:Some are saying he's Muslim and some that he is African American.

On the other hand... African is a race/ethnicity/nationality in which these people hold many different beliefs, one which can quite possibly be Islam.
Barack Obama was "born" Muslim but raised Protestant

This isn't true. Bush is a methodist, Obama is a protestant. They are not the same. Everyone was quite shocked when Kennedy, a Catholic, was elected president.Gormourn said:You know what would've been another less likely candidate for American President some time in the future? A non-Christian guy. Funny how a supposedly one of the strongest countries always has presidents from the same religion... even when I'm pretty sure there are legal documents about religion not being a part of government.

Come over here, we have a great Prime Minister; when he's actually in the country. I think I've seen our deputy Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, in the paper and on the TV more than our fearless leader Kevin 747.Gotham Soul post=18.76192.895810 said:The ignorance and stupidity has spread to the degree in my area to people threatening to pack up and move to Canada or Australia instead of living in a country with a black president. I pretty much facepalmed with the force of a thousand Persian nations eighteen times today.
Although pointing out that the democracies of Canada and Australia are based on the liberal policies of america did give me an immense satisfaction when they were suddenly stricken with the thought that they were extremely retarded.

Too late, we've already had several, starting with John Quincy Adams who was a Unitarian. Unitarians (from what I understand) do not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ and thus cannot accurately be called "Christian".Gormourn said:You know what would've been another less likely candidate for American President some time in the future?

An interesting anecdote, one I need to research more before holding it up as proof for anything but if true it's illustrative of the "intent" of the founding fathers.JMeganSnow said:Until recent years, the religion of most of our presidents has been "Not Very" or "Private".
