From the The Jawa Report
Earlier in the campaign, questions were raised as to whether Barack Obama was raised as a Muslim as a child. Obama seemed to have put the questions to rest by stating unequivocally that he has always been a Christian and was never raised as a Muslim. Daniel Pipes collects a substantial amount of evidence that Barack has been less than forthcoming on this issue:
Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press reports that "documents showed he enrolled as a Muslim" while at a Catholic school during first through third grades. Kim Barker of the Chicago Tribune confirms that Obama was "listed as a Muslim on the registration form for the Catholic school." A blogger who goes by "An American Expat in Southeast Asia" found that "Barack Hussein Obama was registered under the name ‘Barry Soetoro' serial number 203 and entered the Franciscan Asisi Primary School on 1 January 1968 and sat in class 1B. … Barry's religion was listed as Islam."
(h/t: Ace) It's already been established previously that Obama attended an Islamic school as a child and attended Koranic studies classes. Pipes points out that Obama learned his lessons so well that he is still capable of reciting the opening lines of the Adhan (the Muslim call to prayer) "with a first-rate accent."
