Didn’t you know? Being Muslim is like being Black—one drop of the hated, feared blood taints you and supersedes everything else.

For a time, the nutters were obsessed with the idea that Obama was ‘automatically’ Muslim because his father was Muslim and Islam considers religion to pass through the father’s line.

People would point out, mildly, that we’ve got freedom of religion around here, and Obama identifies as a Christian, and people would ‘worry’ that because he was going to be seen as an ‘apostate’…something. Muslim leaders would shun him. He would be assassinated. Islam would take over his brain with long-distance broadcasting.

Since he’s been elected, and except for a couple of polite, “And his father was a Muslim!” exclamations, the Muslim world doesn’t seem to much care, that has dropped off a bit.
