First of all, of course there's actually nothing wrong with a Muslim president (I know so many disagree, but still).
Second, even if he was raised in Islam, he...LIKE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE GLOBE...chose (yes...chose) to follow the Christian religion. I always feel I need to point that out.

I love Madonna, but I thought it was a stupid and irresponsible comment. And it wasn't factual, so I really don't get it. Fortunately, if the majority of people who have posted here are right, she's no longer relevant and no one pays her any attention. So, hopefully, this will fade quickly.

Americans have fought and died around the globe to protect the right of all people to express their views--even views that we profoundly disagree with."
