25% less the national avergae of 5% to 10% is remarkably similar to the % of Texas population with limited English language skills, perhaps there is a connection.

Can I use this factoid for my "Throw Texas Out Of the Union" campaign project?

Well, if it wet your pants, then dream on

Hans Ø is without any doubt danish, so I suggest that you go into your backyard and find a tree that you can hug.

I'm glad I don't live in boring-ass Iowa or Rhode Island or North Dakota or etc., etc.

It's not as if there was no reason for such a conviction. His father was muslim, he was raised in a muslim school in a muslim country, his first and second name are muslim.

This has been thoroughly debunked

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/22/obama.madrassa/

Actually the school that he attended was not a madrassa, it was a secular public school, the majority of the students are of course Muslim because Indonesia is majority Muslim but 'minority' religions were also present and theirs no evidence of religious instruction of any kind. He also spent an equal amount of time (2 years) in a Catholic school in Indonesia.

The whole Obama is a Muslim thing is a BIG over-reach by the GOP. They could have made a MUCH more convincing argument that Obama is a secret Atheist. His mother was at most a non-practicing Christian and possibly atheist, his father had renounced Islam, I'm not familiar with his step father's or his grandparents religion. We know he didn't attend church at a young age or when he attended college. It was only after going to Chicago that he joined a church of any kind and he admits that his community organizing was a motivator in that. It would be relatively easy to say he's faking his faith for political gain. Such allegations have a long history in the US before religious minorities were as common or as vilified.

I find it more disconcerting few seem to question whether being a Muslim is supposed to be a stigma in the first place.

On a related subject, I imagine a much higher percentage of the Texan population believes Obama is black...

He doesn't even pass the paper bag test

I do so that means I'm a real American.

What's the paper bag test? [/annual naive question I may come to rue]

[KrazyHorse]

You must be this dark to ride:

What about white paper bags (if I understand the test correctly)? I think I have one or two in my cupboard. Am I racist now?

But you're Belgian, so that was already a given. All you're good for is massacring Congolese civilians and making waffles. Mmm... waffles.

It was Leopold II who did it all and his family derives from Germany.

Wait, I'm confused. I thought the paper bag test was a way for light skinned blacks to discriminate against dark skinned blacks. As in, you can't be darker than the bag in order to get in the party.
