Obama is a Muslim. And he wasn't born in the US.
Here's a link to his birth certificate (LinkHere).
Here's one article about him attending a Muslim synagogue (LinkHere).
Obama's Father was a Muslim (LinkHere - See footnote #2).
Here's what I really think:
Obama is open minded, logical and pragmatic about religion. He can sometimes gently chastise those who are judgmental, harsh and inflexible in their beliefs (a.k.a. the Religious Right). I think that he probably places extra effort in exhibiting a relatively mainstream Christian image for political purposes. But that is not to say it is phony or acting. He is simply more open-minded in his personal beliefs than many traditional churches. His mother is described as being secular and a very spiritual person, but also an atheist. These beliefs are not inconsistent with Obama's view on religion in general, which seems to be quite secular too. (LinkHere) And let me also say that my definition of secular is much broader than just atheist or agnostic.
His Paternal Grandmother (LinkHere) is also very defensive and supportive of his stated positions on these issues.
Freedom of religion is what brought the Pilgrims here on the Mayflower. Only 12% of Americans identify themselves as secular (LinkHere), but I would strongly argue that is an artificially low number because it only counts those that identify themselves as agnostic, atheist or without any religion. What about those that identify themselves as Christian, but personally maintain a relatively secular view, much as I believe Omama does? What about those that identify themselves as religious but are very skeptical about religion in general? The survey does not include provisions for those, probably large, segments of the population. Church attendance throughout the US is only about 42% (LinkHere)
I challenge and greatly welcome ANYONE in dispute of these matters to leave a response on these issues. My documentation is all from well respected, reliable and legitimate sources. I personally know of no defensible arguments disputing these facts. And I would hope that anyone disagreeing with this would research similarly viable sources to document and validate their opinions.
And the use of his middle name as a proof of his Un-Americanness is disguising and dirty politics of the worst kind.

How hateful article? are you don't accept president Obama as an American? Benjamin Franklin or Jefferson the founder statesman of nation America dose not divide mankind in cast or creed. why you forget that liberty,equality and fraternity are basic values of American constitution. please don,t doubt on commitment of Obama as an American. I think he is liberal and gentleman, and his first commitment for mankind like Abraham Linkan.
