0. Barack Obama was raised Christian and still is Christian. He was never Muslim. Barack Obama's father and that family was Muslim, but as Barack grew up primarily with his mother he was not exposed to that as much.

Did Barack Obama have namaz?

I assume you are referring to the Muslim prayer Salat Namaz. Barack Obama is not a Muslim, and was not raised a Muslim. But his step-father was a Muslim and young Barack lived in Indonesia for four years. His step-father was not very religious, but living in a majority Muslim country, young Barack would certainly have been exposed to Muslim prayers. He has said in his writings that he was taught to respect all religious traditions. But he was raised by his maternal grandparents in Hawaii, and they were Christian, which is what he was raised to be.


Is president Obama a muslim?

Absolutely NOT. He is a Christian. But first, there is nothing wrong with being a Muslim. Or a Jew. Or a Buddhist. Or any other religion. What matters is not your religion, but whether you treat people kindly and with compassion. That said, there have been internet rumors for years that Mr. Obama is a Muslim. These rumors are false. Barack Obama was born to a mother who was a non-practicing Christian, and a father who was born into Islam but rejected it and became an atheist. Young Barack was never raised Muslim, nor did he attend Muslim religious schools. In fact, he was mainly raised by his maternal grandparents, and they were Protestant Christians. Mr. Obama went through a period of religious doubt, but he eventually returned to Christianity, and he and his wife are raising their daughters Christian.

Did Barack Obama have another name?

Yes. It is Hussein, the same as Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., his father, for whom he is named: President Barack Hussein Obama, II. It should be noted that while in America, the name "Hussein" reminds some people of the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, in many other countries, it is a very common name (like John or Joseph) and has no bad meanings at all in those countries. President Obama inherited the name from his biological father and had no say in it.
