Pull your head out of your ass for once man. Obama is not a Muslim. He is a Christian. Has been for a long time. His father was an atheist.

And even if he, or his father, was a Muslim you still need to pull your bigoted head from your ass.

Best wishes,
Dabney

Barack Obama is not a Muslim, and has never been a Muslim.

When operating out of that mono-racial, often solo-gendered newsroom things that simply look like enticing, cleverly disguised gray areas to some become highly concentrated, IEDs of regurgitated racial horrors for those who know better.

Unfortunately, “those who know better” don’t work there.

I’m sure the editors were just looking for new ways to push that envelop and expected some controversy (wanted it even) with this illustration, but they won’t get why this is such a BIG F-ING DEAL until around Wednesday or Thursday when this is still being talked about on TV and on-line and angry black people are giving them the “Gas Face” while picketing their NYC office. They will routinely explain over and over why it is kosher while a Pan-Hellenic Council Greek chorus shouts back to them why it is not until the editors finally realize their legacy of impeccable literary journalism, anamorphic cartoons of dogs n’ cats on therapist’s couches and Seymour Hersch award-winners will not provide the cover necessary to save them from the wrath of “Pookie n ‘em.”

Some folks will call a spade a spade and that cover, sans context or with context looks awfully uncool to me.

Long before this cover, there was a segment of the American populace who believed that Barack Obama was a secret muslim. They cited his middle name “Hussein”, his not wearing a flag pin on the lapel of his jacket, and of course, his church (i.e. Reverend Wright). This segment still exists and they still believe Obama to be a muslim regardless of all the evidence to the contrary.

I don’t see anything racist in the over-the-top depiction because this is exactly what Obama has been dealing with from day one. Let’s face it, this country simply does not know how to deal with a black man whose pants do not sag down to his kneecaps with gold teeth in his mouth. They’re at more of a loss at a strong and educated black woman who isn’t named Shanaynay with six kids fron six different baby daddies. That’s really what this entire election has been about–this country’s refusal to deal with its racism in an honest fashion. The mainstream media isn’t comfortable with Michelle Obama, hence all the attempts at “whitewashing” her and remaking her into a “stepford wife”. Of course they gave Michelle an Angela Davis fro–white America was terrified of Davis at one point in time because she was “too strong and too radical”.

If he done all these things or accomplishments why was he ever on the news for doing so. A Old saying says once a crack head always a crack head.. Once a Muslim always Muslim.. Now we are at War fighting Terrorist that are Muslim I don’t think this country needs a Muslim or former Muslim running a Country fighting Terrorist.

I personally do not trust him or even want him in office. If any other Black American was running for office I would not have a problem with it as long as they were not a Muslim.. I hope I do not upset anyone’s belief in Muslim but we have to many people in the world dying from Terrorist of Muslim or Islam Faith. I look at this picture of what I think will happen. I say again this is my Opinion of what I feel and see in this picture.
