>> But was he ever a Muslim or seen by others as a Muslim? More precisely, might Muslims consider him a murtadd (apostate), that is, a Muslim who converted to another religion and, therefore, someone whose blood may be shed? <<

The answer is quite possibly yes, and that's why Obama is careful to claim that his father was an atheist.

(and that his mother was very spiritual but never followed one religion)

The son of Moslem is always considered to be born a Moslem, but apaprently sharia law does not carry that forward another generation.
