  • I know there are a lot of restrictions for running for an American Political position but is being christian one of them? The american government and legal system is based on the Christian ways but is there something saying you CAN'T be a muslum/budist/worshiper of the all mighty Naniwa creator of space and time?

  • 20% of americans are completely fucking retarded. I love what Bill Maher said. Obama smokes, drinks beer, eats pork and checks out ass. If he's a muslim he really sucks at it.

  • @MrJihadJesus He sucks at his job. Why is it so hard to believe that he could also suck at his faith?

  • @SouthernersSax Yeah, good point. His behavior as a christian or muslim sucks.

  • Do you just have a general aversion to trousers?

  • Muslims have dominated over Jews, Obama will destroy your country from inside, the U.S. national debt has already exceeded all marks of no return, then more ...

  • Jihad in USA - it is yours future

  • Мусульмане уже управляют Евреями, Обама разрушит вашу страну изнутри, гос.долг США уже перевалил все отметки невозврата, дальше больше...

  • Even if he was Muslim, why would it matter? People are so prejudice today.

  • Let's find out for sure. Take a Quran and hold it in front of him and then gradually move a Bic lighter closer and closer to it. If he flinches, seize him. If he says hurry up, he's okay.

  • HENRY!

  • To be a Muslim and destined Heaven one has to wholly and sincerely believe in the Shahdah, oneless of God, accept he has no partners nor does he begets or is begotten - he has no sons or no daughters and that he acts alone. Also to accept all prophets from Adam, Moses, Jesus to Muhammad as the last prophet and messenger.

    Then alas, your Muslim.

    If you don't pray, fast, give charity* or go for the Pilgrimage* - these are known as sins. But still have a seat in Heaven.

    * if you can afford.

  • Comment removed

  • Article VI, paragraph 3 of the US Constitution: "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

    This has been interpreted to mean that no federal employee, whether elected or appointed, career or political, can be required to adhere to or accept any religion or belief. This clause immediately follows one requiring all federal and state officers to take an oath or affirmation of support to the Constitution.

  • What's most concerning is that people are actually worried about it. Why is being Muslim a problem?

  • This combines the two things you don't talk about with people you like. Politics and religion. John, if you like us, please don't do this again.

  • a good man will generally do good deeds, a bad man will generally be up to no good, but it takes the bible to make a good man do evil.

  • ps: i was using 'you' generally, meaning people as a whole. i understand this video is a response to all of the silliness and i didn't mean john green as 'you.'

  • people who are determined to believe it will believe it regardless. people who insist on believing that he was born outside the country will believe it regardless. it's sad. really, if you're going to be either happy or unhappy with a politician, it should be on the basis of his/her actual policies... that's what politicians are for.

  • Obama are removing A secular regime in Syria, Eygpt. Alawites are reported to celebrate certain Christian festivals, "in their own way",[36] including Christmas, Easter, and Palm Sunday, and their religious ceremonies make use of bread and wine.

  • How stupid to believe Obama is a Muslim. The only thing this Wallstreet puppet worships is money.

  • @GeorgiaIsOnMyMind

    It can indeed be argued that by his previous actions and words, he is Muslim, or still holds some ties to the Muslim religion.

  • @tycruise

    Lmao! Why stop at Obama? I'm sure it can indeed be argued that by Jimmy Carter's previous actions and words, he too surely holds ties to the Muslim religion. Ha ha ha!

  • Awesome video. But too logical for the idiots who believe that Obama's a Muslim to understand. They are like the mob in Monty Python and the Holy Grail who insisted that the young woman was a witch.

  • @Lindaguitar2 He doesn't have to completely adhere strictly to the five pillars of the Islam Faith to consider himself a "Muslim" by other ideals. Do you really think all "Christians" go to church every week and perfectly adhere by their rules, principles and beliefs? Does this then mean they aren't really "Christians", or do you think they can hold Christian Ideals and consider themselves "Christians" while not following it perfectly??

    

  • @Lindaguitar2 that is a fantastic comment! :)

  • Umm what's wrong with him being Muslim if he is? 99.999% all Muslims living in the US are alot like us and dont believe what is going on now in the middle east is right. my two best friends are Muslim and Mormon and I am atheist. Why cant all people get along like this? THERE NOT THAT DIFFERENT, OK!

  • When I think about the American public and their attitudes towards religion and politics I turn into a Giant Squid of anger.

  • @jackeebutler when i think about France and their ACTIONS toward Muslims I turn into a giant squid of anger

  • @jackeebutler and not to mention their obsession with knowing if people are gay. side note, what does it matter if people are gay? my best friend told me he was gay 3 years ago and it has not changed our friendship or my respect for him.

  • The bastard is a free masion

  • He's also not a Christian.

  • Okay, he may be Muslim. Why does it even matter? Why is it any of our business? He shouldn't have to tell us that religion he is. We elected him president for his policies and his ideas for economic relief. His religion will not get in the way of him doing that, so let it go, people.

  • ohhh and p.s. This suit isn't all business! :p

  • Logic like this is why I love John Green. That and his books. DFTBA

  • even if he was a muslim so what if he is

  • oh yea one more thing, for not being a muslim he speaks arabic pretty damn well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thought he was catholic or whatever he CLAIMS to be, we should ask his psychotic anti-american priest Jeremiah Wright that question ;)

  • @jdarby0788

    Haha. It's funny that you should say that he speaks Arabic pretty well. I was just watching some old clip of him, and the way he says things like "Pakistan" or "Afghanistan" have me convinced that he is not Muslim and DEFINITELY not from an Arabic speaking country. He sounds like the epitome of a tourist. He sounds almost exactly how tourists sound when they try to roll their r's when attempting to speak Spanish. It's actually quite funny.

  • if obama's not muslim, then explain the picture of him dressed in muslim attire and quoting the koran in one of his speeches. Also, its kinda funny how he has nothing but postives to say about the muslim faith and how America is a oppressive nation and therefore he refused to wear the american flag pin on his lappel. Barack Obama is an anti-american plague of evil who WILL destroy this country if we give him four more years!.

  • It's funny that not long after this video was uploaded people dropped the Muslim thing and started accusing him of not being born on US soil.

  • <1% ? That's pitiful! Aren't liberals supposed to be about propping up the less fortunate? Sorry, John, that that was my only take-away here. I'm just can't stand the man.

  • The ending was awesome! :D 

  • aww henry youre so cute

  • yeah OBAMA baby he is the man

  • @thewolffromhell66666 how is he the man? i would really love to know!

  • @jdarby0788 because he's a great speecher and he gets shit done

  • This continues to be one of my favorite vlogbrothers videos ever made.

  • ...Does John Green ever wear a suit jacket with the appropriate pants? Ever?

  • Thank you, John, for your thoughts towards the end. I am glad that you were able to prove his religion rationally. But if he WAS a Muslim, what would it matter? He is still our president and America shouldn't be making a big deal out of his religion, becauseit ultimately doesn't matter to whom he prays to. So once again, Thank You

  • @Imallwrite212

    Excellent point. His religion (which is undeniably NOT Islam) is utterly irrelevant. It's a shame that such ridiculous nonsense is distracting from the countless legitimate reasons to oppose this man who is easily in the top five worst Presidents.

  • @Imallwrite212

    You're Missing the point, IF he is Muslim you're right, that in and of itself shouldn't matter, but he is LYING about it. I personally believe he is Muslim, I don't believe that it automatically makes him a terrorist. What Bill Clinton did behind closes doors, despicable though it was, was not ultimately the main issue, it was the fact that he openly lied about it to everyone and the courts, Something that would have landed yo

  • @tycruise continued.. Something that would have landed you or I in jail.

  • @Imallwrite212 Until one personally reads the Qur'an, especially the precept to 'become one of them...deceive your host...and destroy them from within," and then examine the contrast between Obama's policy execution and what he says, one cannot appreciate the extraordinary skill he has as a subversive element economically undermining the West. I'm afraid most folks here will not recognize the fact until the damage is done.

  • @Imallwrite212 ... "to whom he prays to." Uh... Nice try?

  • John's nearly blankless stares are getting to me. I think John might be a hypnotist.

  • in islam if someone says he is not muslim he is not muslim, the debate is over.

  • I'm studing for religion with this video YAY finally I have a reason to be on youtube without fealing guilty.

  • I went to his church for a service around when this video came out. So ya

  • i know many muslims, none of which follow the praying five times a day

  • send this shit to FOX!>:D

  • @G0LD3NP1L0T

    YEAH! You could send this video to Fox News who has said time and time again that Obama is not a Muslim! Or you could send it to Hillary Clinton, whose campaign started the Obama is a Muslim meme and the Birther meme. But hey, you're too busy spouting nonsense to worry about "facts" and "the truth." Oh wait... isn't that exactly what you accuse Fox News of!?

  • actually it's considered that you were born Muslim unless you state the opposite. so you don't really have to say shahada though a muslim does it a lot in his/her life.

    and you can do two prayers in one's time if you won't be able to do it later,on it's own time.

    again, zakat is done secretly or else, it wouldn't count.

    you may choose to feed the poor instead of fasting if you're not able to fast.

    and the simplest one, he may not be a "religious" muslim so he won't do any of those things...

  • what about not wearing pants is anti bisness?

  • My step mother and baby sister were at that Easter egg hunt!!

  • And I thought it said "Is Obama a Museum?" ...

  • the zakat should be done secretly, so we can't know if he spent more money for charity!

  • I've never watched John Green videos before... What's with the "hank" thank? Anyone wanna explain that? haha

  • @LuBirdio hank is his brother, they host the channel together

  • are you stupid? hahahha STUPID!!! seriously you must be one!

  • @ezelicemre i politely suggest that instead of wrongly claiming that John Green is stupid you should listen, you might learn something.

    -Best Wishes!!!

  • @Tribalhedgehogs look, i am not saying that he is stupid, did i said that? the whole idea of questioning whether he is muslim or not is just very stupid... and useless...

  • @ezelicemre Im sorry, I thought you agreed with the 1/5 of our population that said they believed Obama was a Muslim, and were calling john green stupid because he was arguing for the fact he isn't a Muslim. I misinterpreted your comment. The whole debate is very stupid though, and to pay it any attention what soever is useless

  • I don't understand...why would it be such a big issue if, hypothetically, Obama WAS Muslim? Not all Muslims are terrorists. Just like how not all Americans are obese. And not all Canadians live in Igloos. And not ALL Aussies ride kangaroos to school (the cooler kids ride Emus, apparently...) :P

    Peace! :D

  • @StudentCommunity first of all, I think john was just tired of all the craziness surround the (yes, I agree, stupid) argument whether the president was a muslim (despite being alright) he wasn't stating anything fundamentally right or wrong either way, just the facts.

    secondly, canadians do all live in igloos, which is why GLOBAL WARMING MUST END OR WE'RE ALL HOMELESS

    that is all :)

  • @IzzydaLlama LOL! Yep, I'm sure John must have been annoyed at how silly the argument was. And seriously? :O Oh, my... Must save Polar Bears AND Canadians then. :P LOL. :D

  • @StudentCommunity canadians are becoming an enangered species ;-;

  • All I can think now is that Obama is a really bad muslim. :/

  • And you sir are full of it. And when the stuff hits the fan you will see. Wait till his second term.

  • @dimarzio69 *Facepalm*

  • @dimarzio69 I'm confused... first of all, what's wrong with being a muslim. And second of all, he just proved it, in plain english... with picture examples... how is that not clear?

  • @IzzydaLlama TRUTH

  • @negerauto123 this isn't assassins creed or something, shut up.

  • The more disturbing thing isn't that he is/isn't/mayornotbe/ A Muslim, but that anyone even cares.

  • I live in a Muslim country and I have to say that majority of people that are here don't pray when the call to prayer comes on. If we're in a mall or something they have prayer rooms but there are few people that actually use them. It's occurring more during the one in the afternoon than at night but still. I don't feel that the UAE is very strong in their Islam practices for many reasons including that one.

  • yay for being a religion nerd(:

  • and who cares if hes muslim its not like hes doing anything..

  • Obama is nor a muslim, nor a christion.. he's satanic!

  • @negerauto123 hows he satanic?? what has he done that is anything related to satanic sayings or themes.

  • @jesuaflores "the illuminati". -if you don't know what it is.. the best way to find out what it is, is to do research by yourself. after all, if you don't believe in it, do some research about the truth about 9/11, there's much scientific(!) and amateur stuff to read/watch.. and than you will start asking "why???!".. know that not everything what the media tells you is the truth..

  • @negerauto123 are you really gonna bring this up. the illuminati you fucking retard was a group of scientist and philosiphers who did experiments in secrets when the church had power.. Galileo was also involved in the illumintati. But the church shut down the orginization because it did not follow the teachings of the church. there is no illuminati anymore who ever thinks they do exist gets their research from movies, videos and random stuff the see on the interenet.

  • @negerauto123 in the 21st century people believe rihanna and jay z and others are involved in this. DO THEY LOOK LIKE FUCKING PHILOSPHERS AND SCIENTISTS!?!!??!!? whoever believes in this needs to shut the fuck and and get a fucking education.

  • @jesuaflores well that's the amateur stuff.. not the scientific..

  • I don't know why him being Muslim is so bad. And if he IS Muslim, why hide it. Who cares, the only thing that matters is "the content of his character" like M.L.K. said, meaning his actions.

    I couldn't care less what his religion is.

  • @azerskater Well said.

  • Keepin it real is the vlogbrothers 

  • Obama knows islam is the truth. sad thing is all elites know that. So obama being "muslim" isn't a surprise. ALL ELITES know that.

  • @yusufulhas Shut the fuck up. What is an 'Elite' btw? Are you part of an anti Obama cult?

  • Barack Hussain Obama's real name was Barry Soetoro. He's from Indonesia and he was a muslim. And then strangely he became a christian american. This white dude is a moron

  • @GavinoPro Yep, and Hitler was actually a martian.

  • @GavinoPro Thank you so much for this bit of humor to brighten my day. DFTBA!

  • When I was between the ages of two and five I was convinced that my Muslim nanny's salat was her offering me piggy back rides, so I jumped on her back and waited on her to finish.

    Upon which I would receive my piggy back ride.

    She also refused to make me ham sandwiches and I didn't like it.

  • @roadkillcondom i will asume u are not a nerdfighter because if u were u would say who the eff is hank, hank is johns brother the other 1/2 of the vlogbrothers

  • Why did (do) they want Canadian drugs?

  • this suit *girly jump* it isnt all buissness..

  • It is written in the Quran that it is okay to take deception but one must be true to his faith in his heart and exhibit it when the right time comes. Obama is a muslim who created 911 and now he is building a mosque there

  • @easyhits01 he created 911 and now he is building a mosque there...... you are a fucking idiot

  • @easyhits01 I'm not even going to bother to dismantle your argument. I think it pretty much dismantles itself.

  • @easyhits01 Mosque next to tragic anti American attack perpetrated by Muslims = bad idea. However, Obama has nothing to do with Islam or 911 so I have no idea how the fuck you came up with this shit.

  • who cares if he is christian or muslim

    only if he is religious then WE MUST BURN HIM

  • I thought this video was called 'Is Obama a Muffin?' and now I am convinced that our president may be a muffin...

  • Henry is SO cute *-*

  • It continues to confound me why people care what religion a president practices. It's not only stupid, but in its own way, it detracts from the US constitution. We have a No Religious Test clause for a reason, and that reason is that people shouldn't be judged by what invisible man they pray to, but instead, they should be judged on the quality of their character and how we feel about their opinions on particular issues.

  • No, he's an poor idiot, trying to be friends with the fucking muslims, he's a coward, no balls, he should learn from Ronald Reagan. He just can handle the package, sorry for all of us.

  • Doesn't matter who he is! He has no qualities too!

  • barak hussein obama or is it barry?

  • 1:Islamist statistic and facts untold by the media. 2:Statistics of Islamist attacks in Nov2011. *Dead=685. *Critical injured=1087. *Countries=23. *Religions=5. *Jihad Attacks=151. -- 3:Worldwide dead per year: *2011=8198. and 1 more month to count. *2010=9175. -- 4:Detailed database is available.Google search: thereligionofpeace. 5:The leading parties in the Arab countries and Iran don’t include in their agenda the demand to end the Islamist ideology using terror tactics
  • @MordechayAriely Oh yeah religionofpeace, you now have zero credibility sir. Do you go to a nazi website for facts about Jews, KKK website for facts about African Americans? You are a liar by defacto. Give me statistics of the civilians killed by the US illegal occupation of Iraq, Israeli attacks on Palestine and the US "war of terror" in Afganistan and tell me why the US is suddenly best friends with a murdurous dictatorship.... Uzbekistan. You can go away now.

  • Some of these comments confuse me. Many of them seem to be in defense of Obama and Islam (though quite rude at that), and yet their lack of being apparently a reply to someone else's comment make me think that they believe John to be calling Obama a Muslim terrorist (of which he is doing quite the opposite). What is your problem, Youtube?

  • I'm Christian, but if anyone ever insults anything (including Islam) in front of me, they will chained to desk in a Religious Studies class faster than they can beg for mercy.

  • @Hollyslide I'm an atheist, and I approve of your message fine sir. May you have a very merry Christmas!

  • @Hollyslide haha nice!

  • Fuck u stupid ass nigga Islam better in aboma and any fucken ales

  • who is hank? am i hank?

  • @roadkillcondom Yes.

  • If Obama was white 99.9 percent of America wud like him..........shame on u racist people ps...@ I bet ur ass is white ... This is all coming from a 12yr old in new york

  • @Thexoxo4life Please be quiet, you have no idea what you're talking about.

  • @IrrelevantSquid why because he is 12 his age has nothing to do with this im 14 and did you see anybody call Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter muslims... didnt think so

  • @crappertank5 Your statement is irrelevant. I am telling him to be quiet not of his age, but of his idiotic comment. You should think before you jump to conclusions.

  • @marharth shut the fuck up and go fuck it mother

  • Muslims are advised by the Koran to pretend that they are not muslims and behave accordingly as long as they do it to avoid persecution and to advance the cause of islam. 0bama is advancing the cause of islam by supporting Muslim Brotherhood which spawned Al Qaeda and importing muslims by thousands to the USA.

  • @MarekK64 lol

  • I find it funny that half of the comments are people who think John Green is a conspiracy theorist.

  • You are a fucking RACIST BITCH if you don't like Obama then go shoot yourself ..you should die... People did not go through the civil war and march for freedom bitch

  • @Thexoxo4life Are you seriously that stupid?

  • I love you for pronouncing Muslim correctly.

  • ..Sigh. First of all, I don't even think he is muslim. And why is muslim such a bad thing? They believe in god, just like christians. Its impossible for god to have more than one profit? Why? And I know that far more murders/ect. in the Usa are commited by christians, yet we dont think of that as a horrible religon.. (Probly because most of us are christian). It just dose'nt make sense.. [Coming from a non-muslim..]

  • Your a fucking idiot

  • @aslindee You're a fucking idiot*

  • @aslindee *you're

  • Muslims aren't nearly as distrusted and misrepresented as Atheists are.

  • Not enough video cuts! Try to cut shots every 1.5 seconds, please.

  • Oh yes, this makes clearer picture.

  • The ignorance portray in believing that our president is a Muslim is simply a diversion or ploy from issues that really matter like the impending astronomical debt or the environmental crisis. Recently pizza is by law a vegetable which poses more absurdity that in fact Congress is really saying you can grow pizza from the ground then harvest at a certain season of the year which is revealing more stupidity plus distraction from important issues again.

  • Thank You for the educating us about Muslims...this is one big world

  • show me a picture of obama eating pork and i may change my mind

  • @kottonmouthvids he did

  • who cares, obama is still a clown and a marxist, oh yeah, and he kisses the asses of the throwback arab dictators

  • @777bigred A marxist. lolwut.

  • THANK YOU JOHN! My god is it annoying to hear the crap the media has said, and I'm glad that you explained Islam respectfully because I am a proud muslim and it annoys the hell out of me when idiots talk down to our religion. That makes me wanna slap people. DFTBA! (;

  • @Themusiclife626 yeah, well thinking you're immune to judgement is wrong, and if someone wants to tell you religion is _______, they can and will do so. slapping seems worse to me than judgement, unless you have no spine.

  • @Themusiclife626 .....As someone who has looked into islam, it's pretty shit. Look at thereligionofpeace (and no, this isn't a website with fake verses or anything. I checked the actual quran myself to make sure they're legit)

  • Yes he's a bad Muslim

  • I find it rather sad that we, as Americans, cannot even support our own president.

  • @Acg3996 I don't find it sad that we can't support him, but it's sad that people don't support him because of the color of his skin or his religion.

  • 3. Obama isn't even Muslim anyway, so STFU. Considering he stepped in after a really lousy administration, he's doing a pretty good job. There's always room for improvement, but not bad at all. Thanks for making this video, John. I wasn't sure where you were going with it at first, and then I caught the satire.

  • 2. This is America, right? Isn't "freedom of religion" in the constitution? You know, right up there with the other core tenets that make America the Land of the Free and the home of the Brave.

  • 1. Who cares? - Islam is a religion, JUST like Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Paganism, etc. Islam is NOT a "religion for terrorists." MOST Islamic people are very good, kind people, just like most, but not all Christians are good, kind people - and as humans it really depends if you catch them on a good day. Terrorism does not have a religion, though many nasty people call themselves religious, Christian, Islamic, Hindu, etc.

  • @carpice Ha, do you actually believe that Obama is Islamic? Or are you just joking? Because if your joking, you actually have some sense. The news stories about Obama being raised in the mid-east were all fabricated by FOX news and other very right wing nutters.

  • @chocyz The news stories are not about Obama being raised in the mid-east. The news stories are about him being brought up in a madrassa (sp?) in Indonesia. Foxnews may lean toward the right, but the other letter news channels lean WAY more to the left. We have to try to find the truth somwhere in between. Yes, I have seen enough evidence to support that he is indeed a Muslim.
