Voters Have Patriotic Duty to Ask, "Is Barack Obama a Muslim?"
By John Lillpop
In his haste to endorse brother Obama, Colin Powell pounded his chest in righteous indignation and roared, "So What?" to the suggestion that the Messiah is a Muslim.
However, the question, "Is Barack Obama a Muslim?" is perfectly reasonable in light of the fact that Obama has three Muslim names and has family connections in the Muslim nation of Kenya.
Even more relevant, Obama's pastor of 20 years blamed America for 9/11 and shouted "GD America!" during a religious service.
Had John McCain been in attendance during such a pastoral outrage, he would almost certainly have left the premises immediately and denounced the pastor's hateful anti-American tirade.
Lest we allow political correctness to gloss over truth, remember that 9/11 was planned and executed by Muslims. While it is true that not all Muslims are terrorists, it is also true that nearly all terrorists are Muslims.
Americans have a legitimate right, make that obligation, to be concerned about a presidential aspirant who seems to have forgotten, or chooses to ignore, that America was attacked by Muslim terrorists on 9/11.
