The Barack Obama Muslim Phenomenon

Go to Google Suggest and type in 'barack obama'.

Three of the ten suggestions are

barack obama muslim
barack obama religion
barack obama's religion

Not that I even know how exactly Google Suggest chooses its phrases, but this is what real people are searching for. This is what they are wondering.

I predict Obama gets swift-boated in the general election, accused that he is really a Muslim. The argument goes something like

R: Barack Hussein Obama? I don't think I can vote for a Muslim.

D: He's not a Muslim he's Christian you moron.

R: Muslim law says if your father is Muslim you're a Muslim.

D: But, his dad bailed when he was 2 and his mom was Christian.

R: So? And did you know his name is Barack Hussein Obama.

D: Well I always make a point of leaving out the Hussein part.

You heard it here first!
