Why would Republicans nominate Jindal who is a muslim who claims to be a Christian. Just like Obama the media is pushing Jindal. Wake up!

He was born to a Hindu family and converted to Catholicism in high school. Even if he was muslim, who cares?

also, Obama just nominated Nobel prize winner and physicist Steven chu as Secretery of Energy. Obama Is making good on his promise to appoint ASians to key positions in his cabinet. With the energy crisis at hand, he will be in the spotlight for sure.

Wow. Why can't people just accept someone's religion and get over it? Who cares if someone claims to be one religion? Why would anyone lie about what religion they practice? Have you actually met someone that goes to one house of worship on the weekend and then goes home to pray to an entirely different God(s) at home? And LALA is right, who Fn cares what religion he is?
