Barack Obama?

Whats with all this negativity towards Barack Obama concerning his religious affiliation. Even if the man is a Muslim why does that change who is or what he is about. I know all these ultra coservatives would kill themselves before they see a Muslim president but why does the general population care soo much. Bush says he is a born again Christian but the man may as well be the devil. The Bible tells us too not shed the blood of the innocent but the man has murdered more people then any terrorist could ever dream of. I believe the media's portrayal of Muslims has given Islam a bad name and therefore people fear Islam and do not understand it. What is your opinion? For the record I am a proud Muslim.
