| + | <let name=data index=Text>Luttwak makes the case that Obama might be considered an apostate Muslim by [[Islam]]ic law, and concludes “That an [[Barack Obama|Obama]] presidency would cause such complications in our dealings with the Islamic world is not likely to be a major factor with American voters, and the implication is not that it should be. But of all the well-meaning desires projected on Senator Obama, the hope that he would decisively improve relations with the world's Muslims is the least realistic.” See the {{talkpage}} for commentary on this, including some apparent factual errors.</let> | ||
