Obama a Muslim?

Why should one not conclude, after a careful reading of your quoted citations from the news articles, that Obama merely accompanied his stepfather on occasion to the local Mosque? Why could one not as easily draw that inference? Such a scenario is easily imaginable of a young lad keeping company with the adult male figure in his life. There are no theological overtones to that equally reasonable explanation. It seems at least as likely.
