The irony in the linked article is also somewhat lost when he cites the UAE, a country which threatens people to a fine and/or a jail sentence if you empathize with Qatar in any way [0].
> "If I were a Muslim I would let you know," Barack Obama has said, and I believe him. In fact, he is a practicing Christian, a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ. He is not now a Muslim.
> But was he ever a Muslim or seen by others as a Muslim? More precisely, might Muslims consider him a murtadd (apostate), that is, a Muslim who converted to another religion and, therefore, someone whose blood may be shed?
...
> These statements raise two questions: What is Obama's true connection to Islam and what implications might this have for an Obama presidency?
