I'm don't know if his muslim experiences were significant early on in life. I think after reading a little bit of his background, he is certainly interested in promoting any victim status that he can. His wife's writing had the same tone when she wrote her thesis at Princeton, complaining about her blackness putting her on the periphary of the student population.

Here's a piece from Chicago Tribune on his mom and maternal grandparents that he lived with. Sounded like the mom was quite liberal and an atheist. She may have shaped his thinking quite a bit. Obama's mom: Not just a girl from Kansas Strong personalities shaped a future senator
