Is the United States ready for a black muslim president? Could this really happen?

Question

my wife and I were discussing this and she said that he will be the next President, I say that we are not ready for a woman or a black muslim President . What are your opinions?

Answer 1

It's happening. And I as you am stunned by what the future holds. We must solve/pacify the issue of terrorism before going ahead with a female president.

I am not saying that women are not fit to serve but that the enmies of America today WON'T even listen to their OWN wives. How are they going to take orders and sit down with a female American president? They will take it all as a sign of weakness.

As for the Muslim candidate, Obama, don't belive others when they say he is Christian. Even after conversion, a person will have SOME tie to the past. I humbly say that Obama converted to Christianity so it will make him go forward in American politics.

He has not seved in our military...HOW is he going to lead our men and women as Commander-In-Chief? He has also used drugs.

Also, the fact he is Black does not have any influence on me but with people like the Neo-nazis and KKK gaining popularity these days, how will Obama gain their respect?

What really strikes me and haunts me is that Obama has an air of amateurness that I did not find in any other politician and I do not want the future president of a superpower to be wrongly installed by the shear popularity of his charms and speech powers.

I know a person cannot be fully perfect but he/she must have some clean history.

Whatever happens, I pray to God to really bless our country.

Answer 2

Obama is NOT, I repeat, NOT a Muslim. The man, and his entire family are CHRISTIANS. What do people hope to gain from perpetrating this lie? People who like the man and will vote for him if he becomes the nominee aren't going to change their minds because of this nonsense. The only people who are going to believe this and keep the lie rolling are those who already don't like him and would never vote for him anyway.

A woman President? Yes, many of us are very ready. Possibly a black President or VP? Yes, many of us are very ready. It's not because they are a woman or a black man. It's because of their politics and their stand on the issues. You can bet a Democratic President will be sitting in the Oval Office come January 09, and it may be Hillary, or it may be Obama, it may even be Edwards, but I doubt it. You may not be ready for a woman or black President but the polls indicate a great deal of America really is ready. Ready, eager and willing.

Answer 3

This is an excerpt from a rather detailed article at about.com. You can see it yourself at http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_barack_obama_muslim.htm

Is it true that "Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim while admitting that he was once a Muslim?"

Once a Muslim? When? Unless I missed it while skimming Obama's two books and sundry interviews, the senator has never mentioned being a Muslim at any point in his life. Yes, he lived in a Muslim country during part of his childhood and briefly attended a Muslim school there, but he certainly wasn't raised a Muslim and has never been, so far as I can determine, a practitioner of that faith.

That anyone, let alone a sitting U.S. senator with designs on the highest office in the land, would conceal being a Muslim for twenty-odd years while going through the outward motions of practicing Christianity (or vice-versa, for that matter) is a truly bizarre accusation. I'd be tempted to dismiss it as paranoid lunacy if it weren't so obviously a crass, politically-motivated smear.



Now, all that being said, I won't vote for either of them.

Answer 4

Obama isn't, I repeat, now no longer a Muslim. the guy, and his finished kin are CHRISTIANS. What do human beings desire to verify from perpetrating this lie? people who like the guy and would desire to vote for him if he will replace into the nominee are unlikely to alter their minds utilising this nonsense. the only people who're going to have faith this and shop the lie rolling are people who already do in assessment to him and would desire to by no potential vote for him to boot. a woman President? specific, many definitely everyone seems to be very waiting. probable a black President or vice president? specific, many definitely everyone seems to be very waiting. that's now no longer via certainty they seem a woman or a black guy. that's via certainty of their politics and their stand on the matters. you would be able to desire to wager a Democratic President would be sitting indoors the Oval place of work come January 09, and that's Hillary, or that's Obama, it could additionally be Edwards, yet I doubt it. you will by no potential be waiting for a woman or black President besides the undeniable fact that the polls factor out very much individuals of a of u.s. fairly is waiting. waiting, arranged and prepared.

Answer 5

When Kennedy ran for president everyone was scared that the Vatican would control the US if he got elected because he was Catholic. People are stupid. And....he is not even Muslim.

Also, he was raised by his Maternal grandparents, I have a hard time believe that two white grandparents raised him as a Muslim.

Answer 6

He must be muslim - he's not quite black and has a funny name.
: )

Why don't you do away with the ballet box and just toss a coin? For all you know about your future presidential candidates a coin toss will be just as serious a campaign.

Answer 7

No, we are not. We will become separate nations before a Black Muslim becomes President. I think we could handle a Black man, or a White woman; but they would have to be something really special. Anybody beyond that and you would be REALLY pushing the edge. Our nation is so divided that having someone so different as a President may drive the wedges even deeper and further divide the populace. I don't think that it would be a possibility in the foreseeable future.
Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton may not win the election, but it will not be because of who they are. It will be because of their politics.
As far as somebody who is a Koran toting and quoting fanatic...I don't think so.

Answer 8

Yes, I feel we are ready for a woman or black president (or a muslim president, if that were the case) so long as they are qualified for the job.

Answer 9

There is a very dangerous minority in Islam that either has, or wants and may soon have, the ability to deliver small nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, almost anywhere in the world. The Jihadis, the militant Muslims, are basically Nazis in Kaffiyahs -- they believe that Islam, a radically conservative form of Wahhabi Islam, should own and control the Middle East first, then Europe, then the world. And that all who do not bow to their will of thinking should be killed, enslaved, or subjugated. They want to finish the Holocaust, destroy Israel, and purge the world of Jews. This is their mantra.



There is also a civil war raging in the Middle East -- for the most part not a hot war, but a war of ideas. Islam is having its Inquisition and its Reformation, but it is not known yet which will win -- the Inquisitors, or the Reformationists. If the Inquisition wins, then the Wahhabis, the Jihadis, will control the Middle East, the OPEC oil, and the US, European, and Asian economies. The techno-industrial economies will be at the mercy of OPEC -- not an OPEC dominated by the educated, rational Saudis of today, but an OPEC dominated by the Jihadis. You want gas in your car? You want heating oil next winter? You want the dollar to be worth anything? You better hope the Jihad, the Muslim Inquisition, loses, and the Islamic Reformation wins.



If the Reformation movement wins, that is, the moderate Muslims who believe that Islam can respect and tolerate other religions, and live in peace with the rest of the world, and move out of the 10th century into the 21st, then the troubles in the Middle East will eventually fade away, and a moderate and prosperous Middle East will emerge. We have to help the Reformation win, and to do that we have to fight the Inquisition, i.e., the Wahhabi movement, the Jihad, Al Qaeda and the Islamic terrorist movements. We have to do it somewhere. And we can't do it everywhere at once.



We have created a focal point for the battle at a time and place of our choosing........in Iraq. Not in New York, not in London, or Paris or Berlin, but in Iraq, where we are doing two important things.



(1) We deposed Saddam Hussein. Whether Saddam Hussein was directly involved in 9/11 or not, it is undisputed that Saddam has been actively supporting the terrorist movement for decades. Saddam is a terrorist. Saddam is, or was, a weapon of mass destruction, who is responsible for the deaths of probably more than a million Iraqis and two million Iranians.



(2) We created a battle, a confrontation, a flash point, with Islamic terrorism in Iraq. We have focused the battle. We are killing bad people, and the ones we get there we won't have to get here. We also have a good shot at creating a democratic, peaceful Iraq, which will be a catalyst for democratic change in the rest of the Middle East, and an outpost for a stabilizing American military presence in the Middle East for as long as it is needed.

The history of the world is the clash between the forces of relative civility and civilization, and the barbarians clamoring at the gates. The Iraq war is merely another battle in this ancient and never ending war. And now, for the first time ever, the barbarians are about to get nuclear weapons. Unless somebody prevents them.



We have four options:



1. We can defeat the Jihad now, before it gets nuclear weapons.



2. We can fight the Jihad later, after it gets nuclear weapons (which may be as early as next year, if Iran's progress on nuclear weapons is what Iran claims it is).



3. We can surrender to the Jihad and accept its dominance in the Middle East, now, in Europe in the next few years or decades, and ultimately in America.



4. Or, we can stand down now, and pick up the fight later when the Jihad is more widespread and better armed, perhaps after the Jihad has dominated France and Germany and maybe most of the rest of Europe. It will, of course, be more dangerous, more expensive, and much bloodier.



If you oppose this war, I hope you like the idea that your children, or grandchildren, may live in an Islamic America under the Mullahs and the Sharia, an America that resembles Iran today. The history of the world is the history of civilizational clashes, cultural clashes. All wars are about ideas, ideas about what society and civilization should be like, and the most determined always win. Those who are willing to be the most ruthless always win. The pacifists always lose, because the anti- pacifists kill them.

Answer 10

Not ready, though if you're referring to Obama, he is and has always been christian. Unfortunately, we live in a nation where a large segment of the population is trying to replace the Constitution with the Bible, so a person who stands for equality, fairness, integrity, and basic human decency doesn't stand a chance.
