I think I know the answer, but the rest of you can decide for yourselves. Read the 10 quotes he made about Islam and the 10 quotes he made about Christianity.

10 Quotes By Barack Obama About Islam

#1 "Islam has always been part of America"

#2 "we will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities"

#3 "These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings."

#4 "America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings."

#5 "So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed"

#6 "Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality"

#7 "As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith."

#8 "I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month."

#9 "That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn't. And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear."

#10 "I also know that Islam has always been a part of America's story."

10 Quotes By Barack Obama About Christianity

#1 "Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation"

#2 "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation."

#3 "Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination? Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith?"

#4 "Even those who claim the Bible's inerrancy make distinctions between Scriptural edicts, sensing that some passages - the Ten Commandments, say, or a belief in Christ's divinity - are central to Christian faith, while others are more culturally specific and may be modified to accommodate modern life."

#5 "The American people intuitively understand this, which is why the majority of Catholics practice birth control and some of those opposed to gay marriage nevertheless are opposed to a Constitutional amendment to ban it. Religious leadership need not accept such wisdom in counseling their flocks, but they should recognize this wisdom in their politics."

#6 From Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope: "I am not willing to have the state deny American citizens a civil union that confers equivalent rights on such basic matters as hospital visitation or health insurance coverage simply because the people they love are of the same sex—nor am I willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the Sermon on the Mount."

#7 "I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell. I can't imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity. That's just not part of my religious makeup."

#8 "Those opposed to abortion cannot simply invoke God’s will--they have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths."

#9 On his support for civil unions for gay couples: "If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount."

#10 "I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people."

I don't believe that any of these quotes show him to be Muslim and as he professes faith in Jesus Christ as his Savior, he is, by definition, Christian, whether we choose to accept his political stance or not.

I don't put much emphasis on titles these days...This man abandoned his church the moment he realized his chances of winning the race was partly based on his affiliation with his church and Pastor...I put focus and emphasis on his accomplishments...We've seen a few, but we'll see more debt and control from Government because of his actions...All is not lost...A better Government is coming on day !

"Many will say to Me, "Lord, Lord...'."

Jesus warned us against wolves in sheep's clothing, and that "by their fruits you will know them."

We do need to be discerning about such things. I would like for fruit evidence to match the claim, you know? Can you present some? I'd appreciate it.

Ronald Reagan gave speeches which convinced many Evangelicals that the man was a Christian, but in practice. . .him and his wife didn’t make any decisions without consulting an astrological advisor. Whether it was personal or political. Hillary Clinton is another one who is into astrologers for she went to one so she could have a chat with Eleanor Roosevelt. This is all public information . . .right from their own mouths.

Our government is NOT run by just one man. There are many representatives and congressmen who are NOT truly Christians. Every politician running for office claims to be a Christian or pretends to be one. From those in small towns to large cities in every state and then after they are elected, their real beliefs come to the surface for all to see.

Obama attended for decades a "Christian" church that has black liberation theology as its doctrinal stance. His mentor and the one who "led" him to what he calls "Jesus" is Jeremiah Wright, a proponent of black liberation theology.

What does that doctrinal stance teach? Its a false gospel. It teaches an alternative view of salvation. Ive read the book folks, the one that his former church still teaches from. Jesus died to "identify with the oppressed" not to atone for our sins. The only way to be saved is also to "identify with the oppressed". The book specifically states, and the author of the book specifically states, that white people cannot be saved unless they give everything they have to black folks/ people of color. This is not the gospel of Christ. As long as this is the gospel that obama follows (and so far he still claims to follow Wright's doctrinal stance), then he is not a Christian.

My personal opinion is, Obama can't talk about Jesus because he is offended by Jesus. Obama is offended because Jesus is the true Commander and Chief, not just of the USA, but the world.
