Some of the obnoxious denizens of FreeRepublic claimed Obama *must* be a secret Muslim because if he had truly abandoned Islam for Christianity, he would be considered an apostate and someone would kill him.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing--yes, there are schools of Islamic thought that demand death for apostates, but do most Muslims really care, let alone care enough to go after a complete stranger in another country?
Something more realistic might be that some Islamist leader puts a fatwa on Barack Obama like the Ayatollah put on Salman Rushdie, claiming he was an apostate from Islam and must die. I imagine it would be relatively recent, since Obama was not a major figure until he became a U.S. Senator.
Now what?
