John McCain has not talked about my "Muslim faith." And I think that his campaign upper echelons have not, What I think is far to say is coming out of the Republican camp here are efforts to say I am not what I say I am in terms of my faith.

According to the faith of Barack Obama, he is a christian
According to Barack Obama, he is a christian, because that's what he practices as his FAITH and as such he identifies with it. He denies being Muslim, because he does not practice it, and as a christian, he solidifies his faith by stating he is christian, because it's true.

The Muslim interpretation is only true under Islam which states that children of Muslim are also muslim, which Obama was.

Was Obama born Muslim? YES!
Was Obama raised Muslim? YES!

Did Obama reject Islam and convert to Christianity? YES
Has he been a Christian for the majority of his life? YES
Does that make Obama a Muslim? NO!

I don't know why Obama just don't fucking explain it as it is.. Christ, it's not that hard to figure out
