Obama Makes Admission About His Muslim Background Since the beginning of his presidency, Barack Obama has faced questions about his background and his faith. Many Americans believe that he is a Muslim man who only pretends to be a Christian to gain support. Now, a newly-surfaced video is backing up that theory, and raising some serious questions about who Barack Hussein Obama really is. I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian, Obama said to Christian Today in 2008, when he was campaigning for the presidency. I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Since that interview, however, Obama has done little to prove his faith. The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans, he claimed. Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have live in a Muslim-majority countryI know because I am one of them. Time and time again, Obama appears to take the side of the Muslim communityoften denouncing Christians in the process. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.
