She takes a very small minority and they're somehow indicative of Rush fans (by the way I'm not one). It wasn't a good example IMO although everyone I know who supports the conservative platform believes Obama is Christian though most are from his hometown. The majority of them also feel he left his racist minister for nothing but political reasons.

everything he does is for political reasons. its so obvious, and not different than any other elected official.

except Palin of course. She only does things for Jesus reasons.

I have no idea if they are a majority or minority (of what?) They certainly are vocally intolerant of Muslims. Last time I looked, freedom of religion is allowed in America.

Here is a link to a video of the original Obama interview prayer portion that Dell references. It's a few minutes long.

It is and it's a shame that the same doesn't exist in the vast majority of Muslim countries.

Some in those countries aren't just vocally intolerant but will cut your head off kind of intolerant.

Can you name those, "vast majority of Muslim countries" for us? Which countries do you think are particularly offensive in that regard?

a list of the most intolerant from a U.S. government panel published by CNN

Myanmar, North Korea, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, China, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.

those on the watch list

Afghanistan, Belarus, Cuba, Egypt, Indonesia, Laos, Russia, Somalia, Tajikistan, Turkey, and Venezuela.

So although not exclusive to Muslims they are well represented among the elite. Hope you notice the oddity of countries where the Judeo Christian faith is predominant are missing from the list.

PS Thanks for the softball pitch Riot
