Is Obama a Muslim?
President Obama has gotten some criticism for his response to the planned mosque near Ground Zero. However, this isn’t the only time that Obama has had problems with Islam. In the last presidential election, the former Illinois senator was assailed because of his middle name Hussein as seen in the snopes.com article from 2008. Recently, Barack Obama has been labeled as a Muslim once again, not by his political opponents, but by 18% of America.
The Pew Research Center survey was conducted between July 21 and August 5 (before Obama addressed the mosque situation in New York) and asked 3,000 people what Obama’s religion is. The survey found that 18% of Americans believe that Obama is a Muslim, up 7% from March 2009. The survey also found that 34% of America thinks that Obama is a Christian, and 43% of the United States say that they do not know Obama’s religion.
The final verdict is that Obama is not a Muslim; he is a Christian. He may not have chosen a church to regularly attend in Washington, D.C., but he’s not going to attend a mosque any time soon.

Since Obama does not practice religion, or attend any Christian Church, it will not be a surprise if he believes in the faith of Islam.
The fact that he favoured building the debated mosque near Ground Zero, in spite of the severe opposition for such a
move, is a clearl indication that he favours Islam, perhaps even secretly follows its teachings.
Whatever the religion he follows, he has never worshipped, nor publically acknowledged his allegiance with God, or any other faith so far.
We might as well have a President that does not see the necessity of worshipping God.
