Simple answer

Is Barack Obama Muslim?

Next time some misguided soul tells you he is, send them there.

I prefer: "So what if he were?" Then, I can whip out my pocket Constitution and ask them to point out the "No Muslim" clause in it.

And when they couldn't find it, point out that pesky little Article VI, which says:

"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

Not exactly the simplest answer, but it makes me feel better. :)

I can see why it would. You'd have to read it to them, though; many of them fail literacy tests.
