President Obama Was Born As A Muslim

There is an article which was widely circulated today about the President's religion. Just like in a Jewish family, one's birth religion is determined by your mother's faith; this article claims that in Islam one's birth religion is determined by your father's faith. Barack's father was indeed a Muslim, and he made sure that he gave him an Islamic name too.

None of us has much choice regarding our birth parents or or birth circumstances. Obama has since renounced Islam and is now a Christian.

My Response: Ho Hum, So What? I like the fact that Barack Obama is a bit international, and is not some dumb ass provincial jerk like George W.

As long as the guy is 99.99% secular I don't care at all. If he begins making policy decisions based upon some mystical true believer faith which thinks talking snakes are real, then I'll get worried.
