Is Obama a Muslim?

According to Muslim belief and as directed by their holy book, the Koran, a Muslim is encouraged to lie if it aids in the progression of the spread of Islam. This is called "Taqiyya" and which besides lying can also be talking in circles, playing the victim, false claims of torture, demanding evidence, blaming others for the evil acts of Muslims, saying Islam forbids this or that, carrying signs that say "Peace" (exploitive cognitive dissonance), and claiming Islam was hijacked. If Obama is indeed a Muslim, to lie about it would be applauded by Islam.
