Thanks - I won’t be too surprised to learn that his mother converted to islam. After all, she had quite the affinity for the ROP and its adherents.

I won’t be too surprised to learn that his mother converted to islam.

In an interview with the New York Times, published on April 30th, 2007, Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama’s younger half sister, told the Times, "My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim.

I assume Maya thinks of her brother, Obama, as a member of her family?

Although Anna is often described as an athiest, I assume Maya thinks of her mother as a member of her family?

How else would one interpret that statement?
