There are multiple reasons that 24+ percent of Americans believe President Obama is a Muslim: he is always on the campaign trail for Islam. He proselytizes for Islamic goals and dreams like a member of the faithful.

He endlessly recounts his background to establish his street creds with the Muslim world. "I am a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims," he told a Muslim audience in Cairo. "As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and the fall of dusk. … I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed."

And it is true. Our memories from the youngest ages stay with us and always feel familiar and like "home." In this regard he is a Muslim and identifies with Islam.

One could argue whether this was preferable to the hatred emanating from Rev Wright's so-called "church" and Liberation Theology Marxist teachings. When did Jesus ever spew hatred? When did he ever claim that anyone different form Him was putrid, unclean and could not be touched? When did He call for the eradication of other religions?

The answer is never and there is your major difference between Christianity and Islam. One calls for forgiveness and love. The other calls for hatred and conquest.

While Obama continues to proclaim to the Muslim world, "I am on your side" and heralding his Muslim parentage on Muslim soil, speaking of Islam's "revelation," talking about living in a Muslim country, Americans scratch their heads in confusion.

In Cairo, Obama said his job as president of the United States is to "fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear." Is that his job as President of the United States? How about dumping the idiot economists you have their and really bring jobs back?

Obama's bow to the navel of the Saudi king, the leader of the most Sharia country, where women cannot drive, have to be swathed in black with only eyes showing, should raise a warning flag.

American leaders do not bow before foreign leaders. Period. But not only did Obama bow, he specifically bowed to the leader of the Muslim country where Mecca lies. Why?

Then the White House ridiculously attempted to claim that the bow never happened in the first place. As if we never saw it.

Obama has consistently sided with Muslims against American allies. He has thrown Israel under the bus while supporting the idea of a "contiguous" Palestinian state, which by definition would mean splitting Israel in half.

He has barred Israel from taking action against Iran even as Iran goes nuclear.

He has backed a UN resolution condemning Israel's nuclear weapons and ignoring Iran's.

He has supported Raila Odinga, a radical Muslim politician in Kenya who has pledged to rewrite Kenya's Constitution to recognize Shariah as the only true law and establish Shariah courts in every Kenyan divisional headquarters.

He has abandoned Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, an anti-Islamist in Bangladesh who has been imprisoned and prosecuted for supporting Israel's right to exist.

He has endorsed the mosque two blocks from Ground Zero despite the fact that the imam of the proposed "bridge-building" mosque is a radical Islamist who refuses to condemn Hamas and believes that the United States is responsible for 9/11.

He has endowed NASA with the glorious mission to "find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science … and math and engineering." Oi vey.

Oh, I guess we gloss over the fact that the Arabs took the concept of numbers and zero from India. But I digress.

Obama may not be a practicing Muslim, but he is a sellout to the radical Muslim world.

No wonder we are confused.
