Obama said that one of his proudest moments was when one of his brothers converted to Islam.
Obama supports his Muslim relatives / friends in Kenya who want to introduce Islamic law there.
Obama is also protective of
civil rights for Muslims in the U.S., saying, "In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging," he laments. "
I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
