REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT DEFENDS "OBAMA IS A MUSLIM" RUMORS
People who wrongly believe President Obama is Muslim are "psychopaths", according to a sermon from Rev. Jeremiah Wright on Sunday in Little Rock, Ark.
The president's controversial former pastor told the congregation at New Millenium Church that Obama is being ostracized for opposing the "military mindset". During his sermon Wright also criticized supporters of the war in Iraq and defended former state Court of Appeals Judge Wendell Griffen for speaking out against it.
"Go after the military mindset ... and the enemy will come after you with everything," Wright told the packed church, according to the AP.
"He will surround you with psychopaths who will criticize you and ostracize you and put you beyond the pale of hope and say 'you ain't really a Baptist' and say 'the president ain't really a Christian, he's a Muslim. There ain't no American Christian with a name like Barack Hussein,'" he added.
A recent poll shows 18 percent of the public thinks President Obama is Muslim, an increase of seven percent over March 2009. The proportion of people who believe he is Christian has shrunk to 34 percent from 48 percent last year.
Obama cut ties with Wright and left his Chicago church after some of the Revend's more controversial statements became a source of criticism during the 2008 presidential campaign.

Whether President Obama is indeed a Muslim or not, he has done more to help the people than any other president I have known. When it really boils down to it, those two-sons-of-a-Bushes did more destruction to this country than the law allowed them to, and the racist right wings never once questioned their religious affiliation.
Islam, Christianity, bah humbug...here's one for the racist right wings to practice...the religion of HUMANITY!!!
