So what if Obama were a Muslim?
I have found the mainstream media's treatment of Obama and discussion around his ethnicity or religion to be quite disturbing.
In addition to correcting the misinformation and rumors, the media should be discussing why the fear and obsession over these rumors exists, why it is problematic and what it says about the American people.
McCain echoed this trend of simply correcting the misinformation while subtly affirming a larger problem- fear and contempt towards Muslim and Arab people at a town hall meeting last week.
