Records from 1968 show that Obama was registered as a Muslim in a Jakarta’s Roman Catholic primary school - Franciscus Assisi.

The school lets Muslims attend, but they cannot study religion.

Some of Obama’s childhood friends say that he was a parcticing Muslim in his youth.

This is the lie that keeps catching my eye. It would be one thing if he said, "I am not a Muslim." Only he would know for sure. But it is an out-and-out provable lie that he was NEVER a Muslim. He was a Muslim seven times over. He was born a Muslim to a Muslim father, confirmed a Muslim by a Muslim stepfather, registered as a Muslim in a Catholic school (not a madrassah, perhaps the one true thing said that web page), studied the Koran in Arabic, attended mosque services, and recited the prayer (which he told a reporter is the most beautiful thing he has ever heard) that makes you a Muslim if you say it.

The only question is whether he is currently a Muslim. Who knows? I certainly would NOT call him a "convinced Christian." That church of his is not Christian in any meaningful sense of the word. Apart from anything else, it does not even require the most basic necessity for being Christian: valid baptism. No doubt Obama can come up with a faked baptismal certificate at need, but I doubt that he was ever baptized. I don't believe he has ever even claimed to have been baptized. Rather, he is a "member" of Rev. Wright's church--which has a policy of accepting Muslims and does not require them to change their faith.
