Is Obama a Muslim? Examine the Evidence!

In which John Green examines the question of whether President Barack Obama is a Muslim in the wake of a recent opinion poll showing that more than one fifth of Americans believe Obama is a Muslim. Along the way, the five pillars of Islam are discussed: belief in the unity of God and the prophethood of Muhammad (shahada), prayer (salat), alms-giving (zakat), fasting (sawm), and pilgrimage (hajj).

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

<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.

@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

[ezelicemre]

@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...

The ending was awesome! :D

@sgtkpf Also, I replied to that comment like three months ago. You're just getting around to replying to things? And don't use retarded as an insult. Developmental delays aren't something to make fun of. Good debate is not facilitated when you attack someone's intelligence as opposed to their opinions and arguments. I hope you're just a troll and not a nerdfighter, because you have definitely forgotten to be awesome.

[rantingproductions]

@sgtkpf Whoa! You don't understand the rhetoric I was using at all! I will say that Obama cannot be compared to the KKK, because that's ridiculous. You're saying that because they lie, you can trust no one to tell you what they think when they ask for your opinion. I was being sarcastic in response to your crazy and completely over the top comment about him wanting to SLAUGHTER the unborn. Dang. If you reply again, cite a source to back up your statements rather than just attacking mine.

aww henry youre so cute

[thewolffromhell66666]

@rantingproductions

Because people never fail express unpopular views of theirs, and especially not politicians! ... unless you're more retarded than you appeared at first. Ahhh, yeah, that must be it. You're just incredibly, incredibly stupid. The KKK on their website claims repeatedly that they are not racist. I guess we should just take them at their word, huh? And again, since you are THAT stupid, I feel the need to explain that, no, we should not take them at their word on that issue...

@rantingproductions

Wait! Obama never made that EXACT quote!? Well I stand corrected! Because you not only prove yourself to be an utter moron by showing that Obama never said something that... I didn't say he said... Yes I am clearly wrong for not having accused Obama of a quote he never said. Either that or you're profoundly retarded. But your larger point still stands. Because Obama never made that quote, he certainly does not believe something that is tantamount to it. Right...? (cont.)
