They miss the point entirely

Within days of the release of a poll showing that 18% of Americans will swallow any kind of bullshit fed them, Franklin Graham, the devil spawn of Billy Graham, serves up another heaping helping of recycled bull feed.
Franklin Graham, the Christian evangelist and son of Billy Graham, offered an explanation for the suspicions that some people have about President Obama's religion, during an appearance Thursday night on CNN.

"I think the president's problem is that he was born a Muslim, his father was a Muslim. The seed of Islam is passed through the father like the seed of Judaism is passed through the mother. He was born a Muslim, his father gave him an Islamic name," Graham told John King. "Now it's obvious that the president has renounced the prophet Mohammed and he has renounced Islam and he has accepted Jesus Christ. That's what he says he has done, I cannot say that he hasn't. So I just have to believe that the president is what he has said."

For the record, Obama's father was Barack Hussein Obama, who gave the future president his own name. President Obama has written that his father, who he rarely ever saw, was raised a Muslim but was in practice an atheist.
Now Frank the Crank's remarks are meant to be an attack on the President, but as any real American should say on reading them, "What does that have to do with the price of rice in China?" It is irrelevant to the man and the office. There is no law in this great country of ours that would disqualify a man from being President or any other elective office because of his religion, even a Teabagger is eligible. It may offend the hateful dogma of a man who wraps his bilious spew in the Bible, but the Bible is not the law of America or its people. Dear Franlin, for the good of this country, please eat shit and die.
