This perception that President Obama is a Muslim is particularly interesting, and might say a lot about what the identity of a non-Muslim is made up of?
I wonder how many people believe this?
At a level of great abstraction, it might make some sense.
It brings to mind Binyamin Netenyahu (sp?) addressing that Christian prayer breakfast thing they have in Washington (The Family?) and saying to them something along the lines of 'Israel has no better friends than those in this room.'
It stands out for me because I am just old enough to remember Christian antisemitism.
