Madonna says she was being 'ironic' in calling Obama a Muslim
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pop star Madonna said on Tuesday she was being deliberately "ironic on stage" when she erroneously referred to President Barack Obama during her concert in the nation's capital as a "black Muslim."
A video clip posted on YouTube by audience members at the Verizon Center in downtown Washington captured the 54-year-old singer delivering a rousing, profanity-laced political speech about freedom during her show on Monday.

"Now, it's so amazing and incredible to think that we have an African-American in the White House ... we have a black Muslim in the White House ... it means there is hope in this country, and Obama is fighting for gay rights, so support the man," Madonna said.
Obama, campaigning to be re-elected on November 6, is widely known to be a practicing Christian.

They would say, Madonna is one of yours, a smelly liberal Hollywood elitist and even she thinks he's Muslim. That's how they would interpret it.
