It isn’t that his middle name is Hussein, or that he was raised by an anthropologist that married two muslims, or that Barak Hussein Obama prayed in mosques as a young man and went to a Muslim school. It’s not that he is part of a church that has given awards to Louis Farakhan nor is it that he tap dances around rejecting an endorsement by Farakhan. It’s not even that B. Hussein wants to withdraw from Iraq even after violence and attacks have dropped and we are winning. No, it’s not all that. It’s actually about racism, see.
I am curious if his mother ever converted.
It would seem unusual for her NOT to have converted to Islam, given that she married two different muslim men.
Is conversion not part of the ceremony?
