Is Obama offended about being called a “Muslim”?
Ans: No. He is not anti-Muslim and considers the diversity of America as its strength and not its weakness. Obama is a practicing and committed Christian and was raised by his mother and grandparents who were Christians. During a Larry King Live interview (7/15/08), Obama publicly praised Muslim Americans by saying, “You know, this [New Yorker cover] is actually an insult against Muslim Americans, something that we don’t spend a lot of time talking about. And sometimes I’ve been derelict in pointing that out.
