These people really need to settle down, you can run almost any poll and find 10% will say yes to just about any question.
Via Slate’s ultra-lib Dave Weigel blog:
Ever since he began running for president in 2007, Barack Obama has been dogged by rumors that he’s secretly a Muslim. Whether it’s his exotic name and background, the color of his skin, or (most likely) some combination of the two, the Muslim lie just doesn’t seem to go away.
Each time it has begun to fade from public discussion, the Muslim rumor has cropped up again, like it did last year when real estate tycoon Donald Trump, who was publicly weighing a presidential bid at the time, insisted he had evidence showing Obama wasn’t born in the United States (and that his birth certificate might show that he’s Muslim).
In response, the president eventually took the extraordinary step of releasing his long form birth ceritificate, which showed he was born in Hawaii as claimed:
Just 34% of Americans correctly say U.S. President Barack Obama is a Christian, while 44% say they don’t know Obama’s religion and 11% say he is a Muslim.
