Barack grew up a Muslim

Melanie Phillips is the most recent commentator to draw attention to the massive body of evidence that leaves no doubt that Barak Hussein Obama was born a Muslim (Islam is patrilineal) and raised a Muslim (so registered in school, acknowledging attending Islamic classes, reported accompanying his step-father to the mosque, and able to recite the Koran in the original Arabic).

This will probably not be discussed in public during the campaign. We are too politically correct to allude to someone's religion - unless that person is not a Democrat. Mitt Romney's Mormon faith was used by the media to denigrate his candidacy but they are silent about Obama's Muslim background. Indeed, they are hostile to anyone who even refers to it.
