So Barack Hussein Obama's family turns out to be Muslim. But according to leftists it was a conspiracy to suggest that Obama was Muslim himself.
Obama is of the Luo tribe who are overwhelmingly Christian and maybe like 1% Muslim. Obama's grandfather started out Catholic working as a cook for British colonialists but was treated so abjectly by the British that he renounced his Christianity for Islam in protest. That is how the Obama family came to be one of very few Muslim Luos. Obama's dad was a Havard educated economist and essentially atheist which, itself, is also very rare in Kenya.
Malik Obama is a loser who tried to use his surname to launch a political career claiming he would have a direct line to the White House and that his brother would endorse him. He ran for a gubernatorial seat in his rural homeland under the slogan "Obama here, Obama there" garnering about 2000 votes (out of hundreds of thousands). Even his own family didn't vote for him. Seems he and his brother have been on the outs for decades with no relationship to speak of.
Barack has embarrassing, deadbeat family members which I gather isn't unique among American presidents (Bill Clinton's brother is one of those).
