White House Scrambles To Scrub This Video From The Internet [VIDEO] Despite his desperate claims that he is a Christian, 17% of the American population still believes that Barack Obama is a Muslim. During his campaign for president in 2008, Obama first came forward to express his faith in an interview with Christian Today magazine. I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian, he stated. I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Many believe that these claims were designed to help the President win the election, especially since there are several pieces of evidence that point to his Muslim background. The United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans, Obama once claimed. Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority countryI know because I am one of them. Lets not forget that Obamas middle name is Hussein, referencing Husayn, the grandson of Muhammad. What do you think? Does Obama continue to lie to the American public?
