No, it is not a big deal-not any bigger deal than Bush or Clinton or 
Kennedy praying in the White House...They would just need an awful lot 
of prayer rugs in the White House,(big place).  Islam is not an evil 
religion, but some radicals are using it in a way that I think would 
make Muhammed roll over in his grave.  Somehow, I seriously doubt he 
would have approved of the 911 plot.

But if he is a Muslim, going back to the premise above, the only real 
way to know his ideology(radical or progressive) is by his actions-by 
the company he keeps-his associations...
Is every Hispanic kid in baggy pants sitting on a street corner a 
gang-banger? Nope.  BUT, if the kid is riding around in a car with known 
gang bangers, or doing a smash and grab with known gang bangers, chances 
are he's a gang banger.

I don't know how old you are Marie, but in my youth, I recall someone 
saying that the Russians won't destroy America with nukes, we will be 
infiltrated and destroyed by idealists who don't know where to draw the 
line.  We will destroy ourselves with our own liberal ideas.
That thought has never left me...it is like we give money to all of 
these countries and most of them hate us...but we keep giving, and 
tonight, while McCain said we should stop it, Obama said we should be 
giving more to prop up their economies(referring to the old Soviet 
states, i.e. Latvia, Estonia, Georgia, et.al.)  Shit, we can't save our 
own freaking economy,,,,and we are supposed to rally behind Obama and 
give even more away?
BTW, I have been told by two people that my Africa post never made it to 
the list, so I will resend.  It kind of addresses this issue as well.
