Obama as a Boy, Dressed Muslim, Says His Brother

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Obama as a Boy, Dressed Muslim, Says His Brother":

That's not Muslim dressing, that is the traditional garb of Indonesia, and as an ethnic, cultural article of clothing, has no direct ties to the Muslim faith. This is a wholly inaccurate, and culturally ignorant assertion to make.

GJ - I reported what the story said. The source is Obama's own brother, not an anonymous name-caller. The brother said Obama was a Muslim and dressed as a Muslim. Obama has denied ever being a Musliim, but his brother disagrees. In this case I will trust the named source. A Muslim is someone who professes the faith of Islam, regardless of dress.
