Is Obama America's first Muslim President? Before you blow a partisan gasket, the question in meant in the same vein as the way Bill Clinton was called "America's first black President." Read a measured, studied pro and con:
"On the last point, Gaffney argues that the term "peace be upon them" is invoked by Muslims as a way of blessing deceased holy men: "According to Islam, that is what all three were - dead prophets. Of course, for Christians, Jesus is the living and immortal Son of God."
"Gaffney to the contrary notwithstanding, I don't believe that Obama might be Muslim. But in his Cairo speech Obama does appear to speak from somewhere inside a Muslim perspective."
