Muslim vs. Christian vs. Jew races

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I know of two:

MN-5 2006 race
Wisconsin Senate 2004

In MN-5, a candidate from each religion got over 10%. Is that the first case of it ever happening? Has there been any other such races?

As for it being the first one, I couldn't tell you, but look at the 2008 Presidential Race.  You have a possible muslim (Barack Obama), a Mormon (Mitt Romney), several Christians, and if Mike Bloomberg jumps in, you will have a Jew.  Note:  I don't consider Mormons to be Christians, just a matter of personal belief.

As for Obama.  I don't know if he's Muslim, Christian, or whatever, but I believe he did go to a muslim school in his youth.  Thats why I put possible muslim.  I didn't want to offend him either way or offend his supporters either way.

Obama is not Muslim.

You're joking, right?

[Sensei]

If Obama was a Muslim, he'd have no chance.

[SPC]

If Obama was a Muslim, he'd have no chance.

I've been saying that Obama doesn't have a chance for some time now.

He's very obviously not a Muslim. The "Muslim school" he went to was a madrassa--but "madrassa" is just the Arabic word for school and can refer to secular or religious schools; this one was secular. And he was only there for about a year. And he attends church weekly.

You seriously think Obama is muslim? That's a very ignorant thing to say.

[Gabu]

The "Obama = Muslim" lie has already been utterly debunked way back by CNN.

Obama is not my top choice, but that is just retarded.

[DownWithTheLeft]

...Obama [has] no chance.

Why are so many people here determined to plug their ears and to not learn the truth about things?  That Obama is not a Muslim and was not raised in a Muslim environment is not even up for debate.

Everyone:  Read my post again -- I said I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S MUSLIM   I am not calling him a muslim or not a muslim.  I was just answering the question that BRTD brought up with the 2008 Race.  Don't attack me for answering a simple question and please do not put words in my mouth that I did not say.

Exactly -- I was just answering BRTD's question, not trying to raise a debate about it.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I said I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S MUSLIM

Wow, holy crap.  Are you insane?

Don't you even think about attacking me for that.  Read that again.  I am not calling him muslim.  I said I didn't know if he was or not.  Is that such a horrible sin not knowing if Barack Obama was a muslim or not?

Okay, lets be calm and rational about this -- I was just answering a simple question with a totally legit answer -- is that wrong?

Yeah, I don't think you get it.  He simply is not a Muslim.  The fact that you 'don't know' -- and seem to keep reiterating this as proof that you are not insane -- is exactly the problem.

Why bring 'sin' into this discussion?

Why are you attacking me for not knowing his religion?  Maybe I didn't read that memo that he was not a muslim.  I agree he is not a muslim, but at the time of the original post, I was unsure.  It seems somebody around here needs an anger check, and its not me.  Calm down, bud.

[Ebowed]

Why are you attacking me for not knowing his religion?

The idea that Obama is a Muslim is only seriously believed in hardcore rightwing extremist circles, and even then, not really.  To even suggest such a view shows vicious and extreme political ignorance.  Whether you know that now doesn't seem to have any impact on the fact that you have clearly misunderstood certain things, such as this:

Comprehension issues aside, while we're at it, why not describe what you have against Mormons?

Tone it down, folks, please.
