Obamislam

From Obama and the Bigots - New York Times:

To his credit, Mr. Obama has spoken respectfully of Islam (he told me last year, on the record, that the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on earth at sunset”). If he were to go further — “and so what if I were Muslim?” — many Americans would see that as confirmation that he is a Sunni terrorist agent of Al Qaeda who is part of a 9/11 backup plan: If you can’t reach the White House with a hijacked plane, then storm the Oval Office through the ballot box.

Let's hope Obama can find the courage to actually say "and so what if I were Muslim." The hope and promise of Obama's candidacy is partly about imagining a world where religions can co-exist peacefully. Obamians and Obamuslims holding hands for a better world.
