The right wingers nut jobs are at it again, trying to milk the President Obama’s religion as an election issue to get the votes from conservative bigots. Wow bravo you nut jobs! Why you are trying to potray our our country as the nation of bigots Remember our nation is color and faith blind. You tried to play this angle during the presidential election potraying President Obama as a bad guy, the Devil in other words “a Muslim”. Fortunately you failed misrably, because we the young generation have ushered into the society, where we are trying to perfect our union and by practicing our constitution in its real spirit, which soley based on freedom, equality and justice for all irrespective of their religion, faith, color and creed.
1.8 billion Muslims around the world and 10 to 12 million Muslims in our nation are not aligns, outsiders or as right wing nut jobs put it, “Devils”.

These conservative nut jobs claim that our constitution is based on judo-christians values. I take pity on their ignorance. First of all, the soul of our constitution is freedom, equality and justice for all, I stress again for all Even if  you take their claim of Judo-christians values seriously, one should know that Judaism and Islam share and have the common religious values much more so than Christianity and Judaism. Both Jews and Muslims pray to Montheist Entity, one Almighty, not Jesus.  Judaism completely rejects Jesus, but Islam accepts him as prominant Messenger of Almighty.

So if you go by the claim of right wingers that they share common religious values with any religion, it is Islam. For sure it is not Judaism, because Jews completely rejects Jesus . On the other hand Christianity does share something with Islam which is Jesus Christ(Peace to be upon Him).

In conclusion Islam on the one hand share values both with Judism and Christianty, and on the other hand Judaism nad Christianty share nothing in common, Period. Islam is the common thread which binds  three biggest religions of the world.

Now to come to the question of our President Obama and his religion. Even if he is Muslim, it does not matter and it should not matter, but he is not a “Muslim”. How do we know that,  because the  Man said so. He declared many a times during his campaign to our nation and to the world in his  Cairo speech.
