yeah it seems to be based on fairly shallow understandings of his past. His father divorced his mother just a few years after he was born. So he was gone. His mother was not religious and Barack Obama said he was not raised religious.
“In his 2006 book Obama wrote, “I was not raised in a religious household ... My mother’s own experiences ... only reinforced this inherited skepticism. Her memories of the Christians who populated her youth were not fond ones ... And yet for all her professed secularism, my mother was in many ways the most spiritually awakened person that I’ve ever known. Religion for her was “just one of the many ways—and not necessarily the best way—that man attempted to control the unknowable and understand the deeper truths about our lives,” Obama wrote.
Barack’s stepdad was muslim. But that marriage to Dunham didn’t last but a few years either. Obama described his stepfather in his book as following “a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths”. Obama attended Catholic school for much of grade school.
Obama was one screwed up kid surrounded by screwed up people with muslim, secular and marxist influences. Hard to believe that was the background of an American President.
I sure don’t have a shallow understanding of his past.
Barack Obama was born a Muslim, Islam is traced through the father.
You seem to be confusing being born into to it with being raised religiously Islamic and brought into Islam.
People can argue how much religious instruction he received in it, or whether he is a true believer today, but they cannot deny that he was born Muslim according to Islam.
