We've spent the last four years convincing our idiot friends and relatives that this isn't true.
Thanks for nothing, Madge
First of all, of course there's actually nothing wrong with a Muslim president (I know so many disagree, but still).
Second, even if he was raised in Islam, he...LIKE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE GLOBE...chose (yes...chose) to follow the Christian religion. I always feel I need to point that out. I do not believe being gay is a choice, but even if it were, who cares. Because religion sure as SH*T is a choice and it's constitutionally protected.
Third, she, like Liz Taylor, lived too long. What was once mysterious and iconic has become ridiculous and tired.

Well, if you can't love Madonna for this, then you never loved her at all. She's earned the right to be who she is and say what she wants and do what she wants and doesn't she look amazing for her age?
I agree completely there's nothing wrong with a Muslim president.
But lots of people have preyed on others' fear for political purposes. It was stupid and irresponsible.
What in the damn hell is wrong with that woman?
Cmon, Songanddanceman and tell us she's an icon and people will hate her for this because she's a woman.
Well I really didn't need another reason to hate her, but there you go.
Idiot.
Why would she lie like that? It doesn't do anything positive and it just upsets people.
She should learn how to keep her mouth shut and stick to lip synching.

As much as she makes me stabby, I kind of thought she was probably being facetious when she said "black muslim." But what's up with her new accent?
Accents are like clothes. She was trying something new.
The problem with even joking about Obama being a Muslim is that people will believe her, whether she is correct or not.
It's irresponsible.

She said it because of this. She wants people to talk about her. No better then Ann Coulter in my book.
I love Madonna, but I thought it was a stupid and irresponsible comment. And it wasn't factual, so I really don't get it. Fortunately, if the majority of people who have posted here are right, she's no longer relevant and no one pays her any attention. So, hopefully, this will fade quickly.
Let this be the president's response to Madonna:
“I know there are some who ask why we don’t just ban such a video ["The Innocence of Muslims"]. The answer is enshrined in our laws: our Constitution protects the right to practice free speech.
“Here in the United States, countless publications provoke offense.
“Like me, the majority of Americans are Christian, and yet we do not ban blasphemy against our most sacred beliefs. As President of our country, and Commander-in-Chief of our military, I accept that people are going to call me awful things every day, and I will always defend their right to do so. Americans have fought and died around the globe to protect the right of all people to express their views--even views that we profoundly disagree with."
"The problem with even joking about Obama being a Muslim is that people will believe her, whether she is correct or not."
Well...I think Bill Maher, Jon Stewart and Chris Rock can get away with making a joke about that. Cause they're funny.
Madonna wouldn't know funny if it f*cked her in the ass. Though, to be fair, the 'hotdog down a hallway' rule could be in effect here.
Btw, his entire speech this morning was pretty awesome.
Has anyone checked in on SADM? I'm worried.
He hasn't said that we're all nitpicking and the main content of her speech was pro-Obama yet.
Madonna has long passed her usefulness Her expiration date has come and gone.
It's Yom Kippur. I forgive her for being an idiot.
But she's an idiot.
Gut yontiv, Madonna.

Facebook Republicans are already running with this. Ugh.
Those with prejudice are about to get something else to reinforce that prejudice.

I wonder if Romney will get a Madonna bump.
