re: #36 SanFranciscoZionist

Thank you! I’m amazed at the folks I’ve seen telling me about how he’s a Muslim under Muslim law as though that made it so—and I’m thinking, ‘and what other parts of Muslim law do you consider binding on an American who identifies himself as Christian?’

Correct but besides the point. For you and I, 0bama may be a Christian of sorts, but from the point of view of Shariah he will always remain a Muslim because of his father, no matter how often and vocally he protests.

The real fun starts when you have a Muslim father and a Jewish mother: you are simultaneously a member of both religions for life, even if you convert to Catholicism, Mormonism, Pastafarianism, or Big Toe Worship. There are a few cases like that here.
