Obama asserted in December, “I’ve always been a Christian,” and he has adamantly denied ever having been a Muslim. “The only connection I’ve had to Islam is that my grandfather on my father’s side came from that country [Kenya]. But I’ve never practiced Islam.” In February, he claimed: “I have never been a Muslim. … other than my name and the fact that I lived in a populous Muslim country for 4 years when I was a child [Indonesia, 1967-71] I have very little connection to the Islamic religion.”

Have to say I'm confused; not by Obama's religious affiliations or just 'faith' but your take. . .

The next paragraph - and more - from Daniel Pipes - only confirm that Obama's lips seldom move in synch with truth.

(Daniel Pipes: "Always" and "never" leave little room for equivocation. But many biographical facts, culled mainly from the American press, suggest that, when growing up, the Democratic candidate for president both saw himself and was seen as a Muslim.)

Not best writing; perhaps; but point made; and same point of 'faith' per Obama; that I hold to; and same point that Daniel Pipes holds to as well.

Am guessing you agree. . .but not sure!
