On the other hand, even if Obama WAS muslim, I don't see why it matters! I thought the United States were a country of freedom and democracy, so what's wrong with having a president that is muslim - or black, or a woman...? Exactly, Marko.

Eva's comment is about an email which was send to her. This email is send to different people and is trying to influence them. In fact I believe it is terrible how someone can have interest in writing such emails. Further we may say, that also this email is using media-internet. This shows that in the age of convergence is not giving false portrayals only mainstreem media but also modern technologies as emails. Shame on people who need to write such emails. Anna hi Marko,

I think that media are just trying to make a sensation form everything even if it is not appropriate. They have to bring this 'juice' to the story, however they do not realize that sometimes it can cause a serious harm to other people. Good point. I totally agree with you.

People sometimes tend to stereotype, however it is difficult for people to differentiate if someone is muslim or not if the person comes from middle east. I agree with Dimana about the "common opinion" of muslim women. But if you are a journalist, you have to be aware of this. It is interesting how each culture is different.

It can be very disturbing to watch the reactions to common people in the west react to media portrayed propaganda. Its all about the western population generalizing a nation due to media corupted events. when they do this they only boast their ignorance on the subject. Well done. Greg Nice one!

Although, I have never experienced Islam myself, my parents have visited Jordan and although scared, they loved it. It is a beautiful country and although their traditions and customs differ, each culture is different and that is what makes the beauty of our world. We can speaculate for days about media and most probably we would find our, journalist do it for the money not for the story anymore. But it is about our society to believe or not believe the media, and really we should always hear both sides of the story right? Your blog makes a great point about misleading informations and portrayls in the media, and each person that believes Islam is another horrifying custom, should read your blog. Barb Hey Anna,

THIS DEFINITELY WARRANTS LOOKING INTO. THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED, “ONE NATION UNDER GOD”. ALMIGHTY GOD, NOT THE GOD OF THE KORAN.

Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita , Kansas .

Obama’s parents met at the University of Hawaii When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya

His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, “He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.”

Obama’s political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama’s introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son’s education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States ,Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran (Their equivalency to our Bible, but very different beliefs)

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the U.S. from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level – through the President of the United States , one of their own!!!!

Please forward to everyone you know. Would you wan t this man leading our country?…… NOT ME!!!
