I saw the clip and it didn't seem like sarcasm. But at the same time, she doesn't strike me as stupid enough to think he's muslim.

Madonna says she was being 'ironic' in calling Obama a Muslim

By Piya Sinha-Roy | Reuters – 5 hrs ago

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pop star Madonna said on Tuesday she was being deliberately "ironic on stage" when she erroneously referred to President Barack Obama during her concert in the nation's capital as a "black Muslim."

A video clip posted on YouTube by audience members at the Verizon Center in downtown Washington captured the 54-year-old singer delivering a rousing, profanity-laced political speech about freedom during her show on Monday.

"Now, it's so amazing and incredible to think that we have an African-American in the White House ... we have a black Muslim in the White House ... it means there is hope in this country, and Obama is fighting for gay rights, so support the man," Madonna said.

Obama, campaigning to be re-elected on November 6, is widely known to be a practicing Christian.

Responding to a media furor unleashed by the YouTube video, Madonna issued a statement on Tuesday through her spokeswoman saying her reference to Obama's religion was facetious.

"I was being ironic on stage. Yes, I know Obama is not a Muslim - though I know that plenty of people in this country think he is. And what if he were?

"The point I was making is that a good man is a good man, no matter who he prays to. I don't care what religion Obama is - nor should anyone else in America," she said.

Since Obama's first presidential run in 2008, fringe groups and a smattering of opponents have espoused rumors that he is secretly a Muslim, similar to persistent but unfounded assertions by some political foes that he was born outside the United States.

Madonna has been outspoken in her support of the president, going so far as to rip off her shirt during recent concerts to reveal the word "OBAMA" inked across her lower back.

On the North American leg of a concert tour in support of her latest studio album, "MDNA," the singer has been grabbing headlines with a recent series of onstage antics.

During one of her Paris concerts in July, Madonna landed in hot water with France's far right National Front party after screening footage of party leader Marine Le Pen with a swastika superimposed on her face. The National Front said it would sue the star.

In August, Madonna spoke out at concerts in Russia in support of gay rights and the jailed members of the Russian punk rock band Pussy Riot. (Reporting by Piya Sinha-Roy; Editing by Steve Gorman and Stacey Joyce)

I was actually at this concert. I could see how some people could think she was serious if you just read about it in the press, but if you were there, you could tell by her tone of voice she was being sarcastic.

By the way, the two DC concerts were the best nights of my life. Amazing. I think this tour is her best tour ever. Far superior to Sticky and Sweet. She seems a lot warmer, happier and more engaged with the audience than I ever remember from previous tours. And despite what people say, the majority of the show is sing live. She actually sounds great. She is a very underrated live vocalist. All the people who complain about her lip synching or how bad she sounds I'm convinced have never been to a live Madonna show.

I hope so... I would hate to think that she is that ignorant...like the rest of the "sheeple."

Her reasoning for supporting him (and by doing so, influencing fans) is because he supports gay rights. That in itself is ignorance.

I found that she is pretty intelligent and can articulate her belief and feels very well

well people are trying to influence anyone they talk to when it come to who to vote for, from churches, jobs, barber shop and Prince.org Politics section

She said similar as far as voting for Clinton so this is nothing new

she's also done "Rock the Vote" ads and commercials not directed at anyone

Its not ignorance in itself. Whether she said it or not people are going to vote ignorantly, and many not at all.

Who doesn't vote for 1 or 2 main issues? And I doubt that is the only reason she supports him.

I know a lot of people who aren't going to vote for Romney because he wants to control internet porn lol

A new tour date, a new controversy?

what's the new tour date? aren't they already set?

If she said stuff like this prior to her tour starting gettng people amped up or riled up

but she is far from it being a 'new tour' This is nothing new and I believe it was during her 'ReInventions' America Life period/tour that she really would ad a lot of political elements to her show

I was refering to the controversary she attempts to create each date she performs. When I said 'new', i was refering to the tour date in question.

Comparing her ignorant stametent to other ignorance, in no way belies the ignorance aforementioned.

The statement she made was not one of a particulary intelligent person - in my opinion.
