Once again, I think it is amazing how people can read the same statements and interpret them in such vastly different ways. When you add to that the suspicion about Islam which verges on hysteria at times, I suppose it's a recipe for uproar.

*nod* for a lot of folks, merely having 'Islam' and 'human being' in the same sentence is enough to get the pitchforks and torches.

Yeah it seems so, and probably means that the Fox News smear campaign claiming that Obama attended Muslim schools will be somewhat effective.
