@hilbert,
Anyone that asserts he's a devout anything religious ... particularly a Muslim ... is grossly misinformed and on a propaganda campaign of slurring his name through disinformation. This fundamentalist propagated crap is all connected to the old saw they drag out as his middle name is Hussein.
For those fuindamentalist and extreme righties can't quote facts into a political discussion then they attempt to baffle them with bullshit. Sad to say, but some people respond to it. A certain percentage will repeat these lies as truth and then they'll go vote for the other guy.
In this instance, the other guy happens to be a Mormon, FWIW (and whose Grand-daddy skipped out to Mexico as his Mormon practice of polygamy was outlawed in the States). As for Romney,the fact is that in 1969 he spent thirty months in France as a Mormon missionary.
All of which doesn't matter in my mind either, but to an extreme righty or fundamentalist...it must drive them ever-loving nuts?!
