Is Barack Obama a Islam

Answer 1

First, Islam is a religion. A person who believes in Islam is called a Muslim (and a female Muslim is often called a Muslima). But no, the president is not a Muslim. This is an internet myth, and it is untrue. The president was not raised as a Muslim, never worshiped as a Muslim, and was not married in a mosque. This myth spread because his father had been born a Muslim-- but by the time Barack Obama was born, his dad had long since left Islam and had become an atheist. Reports that young Barack went to a religious Muslim school (a madrassa) are false, as are reports that he secretly practices Islam-- he does not. He has been a Christian for many years. But that said, he has always respected his Muslim relatives in Africa, several of whom he has kept in touch with. But he also has relatives who are Buddhist, Christian, and Jewish, and he has respect for them too.
