That perhaps one in five Americans believes that Obama is a Muslim boggles the mind. It ia monument to prejudice, unscrupulous political opportunism, willing ignorance of the invincible sort, downright lying, and deliberate deceit.
Have the professors and perpetrators of this nefarious falsehood forgotten that two summers ago Obama was being excoriated for belonging to the Christian church pastored by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright?
He is not a Muslim, but what if he were? The Constitution forbids a religious test for office. Thank goodness the Constitution was written when it was. Such a marvelous document would never be accepted today.
Prudence might suggest that the President join a church, not that that would quell the idiocy abroad, but it might help a little. As Mark Shields said tonight on the PBS News Hour, Americans want their president to belong to a church but to wear their religion lightly.
