At what point did Barack Obama become a Muslim in his life?

Was it during his time in Indonesia?

Public Comments

1. NEVER - he attended a Muslim school after his mother remarried.......it's really just that simple
2. He wasn't. He went to a public school in Indonesia which included religious instruction.
3. Poor republican excuses to take the man away from what he's set to become. If he was Muslim then he wouldn't get my vote buddy.
4. Never, he became a Christian!
5. no, he became a Muslim because the republicans say so!
6. He has NEVER been a Muslim.
7. Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian. -*D*
8. HAHAHA!! So, Jay... do you need this answer for "Around the Horn" or just for kicks? 8D Actually, Barack Obama's father was Muslim, I'm not sure Barack was ever confirmed a Muslim, nor do I believe he ever practiced any Muslim religion. Although, he may have been exposed to it in the earlier years in his life, as his father may have talked to him about it. Barack Obama is a Christian as is his mother, who spent more time with him than his father did.
9. Wolf Blitzer has destroyed this lie. He took us to the school in Indonesia. It's a school for the elite. It's a couple of blocks from the US Embassy. The Prinicpal laughed as he showed us around the school which has change little in 40 years. He said that his is an academic school, not a Muslim one. Barrack went there from the ages of 6 and 8. He was sent back to Hawaii to be raised by his grandparents in America. This is a complete lie.
10. He never became Muslim. FAIL.
11. It would have to be. His mother was an atheist, so he must have picked up Muslimanity in a Muslim country.
12. when he was born
13. Are you aware that there is religious freedom in this country? There are radical fanatics in every religion (including the Christian religion) I am an American and a Christian who will defend Obama's right (or any ones right) to be any religion they choose. It is of no consequence if that religion excepts me -as an American I support our freedoms and the Constitution and Bill Of Rights. This is what makes our country so very special.
14. Yes, during the early part of his upbringing. His father left and his mother eventually remarried a christian and Obama converted.
15. this is so retarded he was never a muslim
16. He's not a muslim, he just wears the garb, attends the schools, and cavorts with 'em. His real inspiration is Rev. Wrong!!
17. He didn't. What are you trying to accomplish with this lie?
18. He's not and this is old. If you think believe that, you're a racist. Go to CNN and other major news outlet and verified that this has been debunked. ><
19. Why do I get the feeling that people here are not to friendly towards muslims....... Theres nothing wrong with muslims wtf is wrong with you people you're all biast fuckers! And this is coming from a christian. America confuses me sometimes. Ew.
20. He was born Muslim and attend his first schools as a Muslim. According to his teachers and fellow students he was a faithful student.
21. well being that there is a lack of public schools in Indonesia and that the religious organizations are really the only ones teaching there are you saying its better he is brainwashed by Christians , than to be brainwashed by a madrasa when all his mom wanted was for him to get a education
22. I believe it was November in 2010. Absurd answer to an absurd question.
23. Once a Muzzzzz, ALWAYS a MUZZZ...
24. He never been a Muslim, he's a Christian.
25. he was born and raised a Muslim. he later converted after meeting his wife. he was going to the same church for 20 years, where using God's name in vain is the cool thing to do. for him it was a natural transition because like Islam which teaches idiotic conspiracy theories, his church did too. the thing is, you join Islam for life, so in case he doesn't know it, he is still a Muslim.
26. birth.by muslim law the child of a muslim man is a muslim.his mothers continued breathing is proof that she went along.
27. When he was born and first attended school.. After that things are cloudier concerning Obama and all we can do is read what he wrote in his books. In the Audacity of Hope he wrote I shall stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction. So take that statement for what it implys.
28. He was born to a Muslim father and went to a Muslim school. That makes him a Muslim and Islam doesn't like people who convert out of Islam.
29. Is that really important? For your information the United States is not a religious state. Thus, the elected president irrespective of being Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Mormon, Hindu and so on, is bound by the US constituion and certainly not by religious convictions. Bush who is himself Christian, is certainly not the most loving president of this country. This is to show you that as long as you adhere to the national values of the country, the religious conviction is simply irrelevant.
