I have never believed that Obama is a Muslim. But I do believe that he is confused and is comfortable with Islam because he grew up in the middle of it. He chose a church for political gain which was mostly black liberation theology. I think, to the degree he believes anything, it’s what is politically expedient at the moment. He appears to have no core.

Obama took mengaji classes in Indonesia in which he learned the Koran in Arabic. Such classes are only for the very devout.

And even though he attended a Catholic school for a while in Indonesia it was common practice for muslims attending such schools (the majority BTW) to be excused from any Christian courses and to be permitted to study Islam during the time religious instruction was given.

Obama has even been proclaimed the "Messiah" by Louis Farrakhan and since Louie is a muslim, that would mean the islamic messiah or Mahdi.

Furthermore, Jeremiah Wright was a muslim and majored in Islamic Studies in seminary (such information was readily available online before the elections but has since been conveniently scrubbed). Jeremiah Wright established a 'Christian' church open to muslims because Farrakhan already had a muslim one just down the street. Wright was quoted (also scrubbed) that he didn't want to live his life in Farrakhan's shadow so he covered his church in a thin veneer of Christianity.

As a final point, Black Liberation Theology and Islam have many parallels and are in no way mutually exclusive.

OTOH Christianity and BLT are completely incompatible and have no common agreement.
