Republicans see an easy victory if they equate Obama to a Muslim. It's simple idea really. Muslims have caused terrorist attacks on the US throughout the world for the last 20 years culminating on 9/11. While it is guaranteed that many Muslims are for peace, it is also guaranteed that many are very violent towards the US. Added to this is the fact that many, many Americans are closed minded and believe that if he is a Muslim, or even sounds like a Muslim, he must be bad. Republicans can capitalize on this. However I wouldn't vote for him just because of what he stands for and believes what is right for America. I could care less if he was black or Muslim, both or neither. That isn't an issue for me. I just don't agree with what he believes America should do economically and martially.
