I had seen reports that Donald Trump was dabbling in Birtherism, but I had missed the fact that he recently linked that particular conspiratorial zaniness with Islamophobia, another psycho-political affliction of today's right wing nuts. But, according the the Center for American Progress, Trump recently suggested that the reason Obama does not want his birth certificate to be seen is that it might indicate his religion as Muslim.
As they say, when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
