First, a history refresher: For the past nine years, a smattering of Americans, most recently led by our now president-elect, have insisted that Barack Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya.
For years, Donald Trump was unrelenting in his insistence that Obama prove beyond existing proof that he was born in Hawaii and not in the African country of his biological father. That Obama said he is a Christian wasnt enough to persuade Trumps followers, who apparently know a Christian when they see one.
Further, there is no logical basis for assuming that a young person briefly raised in a given country say, Indonesia necessarily would adopt the dominant religion of that country. He might, however, observe that though people worship in different ways, were all essentially the same. Never mind the cruel and absurd assumption that being a Muslim means that one is, ipso facto, a bad person.
Respecting others despite differences is, generally speaking, the hallmark of an enlightened soul, as well as a desirable disposition in a leader. Yet, those who sided with Trump interpreted Obamas gentle touch toward the worlds 1.6 billion Muslims as evidence of a hidden agenda to advance Islam in the United States notwithstanding Obamas rather robust drone operations, which eliminated quite a few bad actors who happened to be, or said they were, Muslims.
