One: It doesn't flippin' matter if he's of the Islamic faith or not. Two: He attended/attends a church which is not of the Islamic faith for 20 plus years.

...and three...


... have lived in a Muslim-majority country..."


He lived in Indonesia for several years as a boy.

He is not saying, in any fashion whatsoever, he is Muslim. He is saying that many Americans have had contact with Islam either from their families, or from contact abroad, and that he's one of them.

Why would it matter if he is, anyway?

Technically you are correct, as his father is an admitted Muslim.

I will say however, that for all of the rumors which he [President Obama] is purportedly attempting to quash, he is most certainly doing a fine job of reinforcing them instead.

What was Obama saying exactly during his speech to the Turkish Parliament? This sounded, to me, as an insinuation towards himself being of Muslim faith, rather than just members of his family? I could be wrong, but I don't remember hearing much of Obamas extensive experience around Muslims? His campaign for President seemed more about distancing himself from this possibility, while assuring people of his Christian faith. Why so pro Muslim all of a sudden? Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Peace.

Obama is "literally" saying that he is a person with Muslims in his family, i.e. his father's side of the family.

Why did Obama distance himself from Islam during the election? The reason is good politics!!! He knew that many Americans feel negatively towards Muslims and Islam, so he distanced himself from Islam to appeal to as many Americans as he could.

Why did Obama bring up the point of having family ties with Muslims while giving a speech in Turkey? The reason again is good politics!!! When you are trying to win over the trust, friendship, and hearts of a foreign people, you must bring up points that you have in common with those people.

Point blank, Obama is a genius at talking to different types of people is mass.

Yep. That lovely racist cult in Chicago has enough dirty laundry to keep people busy yakking about it for a very long time.

Obama's Church Not Your Average Christian Church

As for if he 'insinuated that he's muslim' ... he was just talking himself up for his muslim audience. Obama's real religion is PANDER. He chatted himiself up for the muslims there and when he comes back to the USA he'll chat himself up as a Christian in front of a majority Christian audience, or he'll chat himself up as secular in front of a left coast secular audience (remember how he dis'd those who 'clung to guns and religion' while with them??)

He's whatever the audience at the time wants him to be.
He's a politician.
