He was over in Kenya visiting his connections there and cutting deals with Odinga for quite some time.
OBVIOUSLY he told them he was a Muslim, and let them dress him up in the Muslim garb of the tribe he belongs to.
Now, maybe he’s lying to them, and maybe he’s lying to us. But he sure is lying to somebody.
Notice that he has NEVER said that he was baptized. Notice that when it was a topic, he said he was a “member” of the United Church of Christ. Well, as it happens, that church happily admits Muslims as members, and does not require members to be baptized. In other words, you don’t have to be a Christian to belong.
Rev. Wright was a Black Muslim before he decided to become a racist pastor. He and Barry are both close friends with the Black Muslims on the Chicago South Side, and welcomed Louis Farrakhan to their church and gave him an award.
How do I know that he told his friends in Kenya (and Indonesia) that he is a Muslim—which they already knew was true of him as a child? Because no one has issued a fatwah against him as an apostate from Islam.
There is NO ONE that Muslims hate more than an apostate. Yet, strangely, they love him. Barry a Christian? Don’t make me laugh.

"Told them he was a muslim"? I think it is more likely that he behaved as a good muslim would and they saw him as muslim through his actions not his words.
