Well, Obama has given his first television interview, and guess what... it was to an Arab television channel. Now that the election is over, he now goes public with his family's muslim heritage, and I just wanted to know what you guys think about it.

Welcome to myLot!
I think this is a good way for him to bridge religious gaps. I read on Wikipedia that he's not actually Muslim, he's Christian. His father is Muslim, on the other hand. Being proud of your heritage is the way to go, let's hope that this revelation would prove to help the peace especially in the middle east where religious wars are still being on going.
Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Yeah. In church we were talking about how God getsthe perfect people for certain situations, and Obama is a perfect example. Half white Half black, muslim dad, christian mom, he can bridge all kind of gaps. He's the "in between" president
