The big question is what does it really matter if he is a Muslim?

Religion should be kept out of politics!

Barack HUSSEIN Obama... Yep thats his name

I cant believe that we have gotten this far through the primaries before this gem has hit the papers, shows that a lot of people are really scared that he can actually win this thing, but can you swiftboat a middle name?

You bet they are going to try

You'd like to think no but the answer is actually yes, IMHO

More chance of keeping it out of christmas or hanukkah

No, it shouldn't matter but I can imagine that even in the UK there would be sections of the population who would be less than delighted with a Muslim PM... I mean, he or she might introduce elements of Sharia Law to the statute book.....

Actually, Barack is also a Muslim name meaning "blessing" (cf Eid Mubarak - May the Festival be Blessed). Interestingly, that does mean that when he was baptised (over 20 years ago) he chose to be baptised with a name that is technically a Muslim name... That the Arabic language pre-dates Islam and that names that are classified as Muslim, Christian etc normally have a linguistic origin older than the religion that they're attributed to is a matter of fact, not of common convention.

I'm not even sure a muslim could become PM. I know that Tony Blair had to wait to convert to catholicism until after he quit due to fears he could be removed from office!

There's nothing in the Constitution that disallows it but there has never been a Catholic PM.... Separation of Church and State? Hmm....

1829 Emancipation Act dictates that no Catholic Adviser to the monarch may hold a Civil or Military positiion! So there would no doubt have been a legal challenge from extreme anglicans!

If you are referring to the fact that he was not born in the USA that is technically incorrect. He was born on a US Air Base in Panama which is I believe US sovereign territory!

Well no, well maybe but thats not the point. The constitutution specifically says to be president you have to be born in the USA and the citizenship regulations specifically say that being born in an overseas mission (or military facility) doesnt not constitute being born in USA, check it out!

I doubt that anyone's going to worry about it too much. The Yanks seem more worried nowadays about whether some ball player injected growth hormone into his ass or not.....
