    The Muslim Traditions.

    Reading about the muslim religion, hearing about it, knowing it, experiencing it and being a muslim gives different answers of who is a muslim. The muslim religion is connected with traditions. They have sets of customs and beliefs that will never change regardless of who you are, where you are etc. Obama was raised, and his father came from a muslim and traditional culture that believes a man's religion is his father'sreligion, a woman's religion is her husband's religion, an under age girl's religion is that of his father untill she is wed. Kenyan[Obama's father's land} WILL NOT accept Obama has a Christian president, for they believed he is a muslim and Obama WILL NOT deny the muslim religion and culture. Obama will say or do anything to be elected{which is understood by his family in Kenya], but deep in his heart he is a muslim. Oh yes his religion matters due to his sets of beliefs which may affects USA after he wins,&becomes MUSLIM.
