Supporters of Obama have suggested that Obama was talking about a false allegation of Obama's "Muslim faith," but for detractors that still does not explain his comfortable use of the phrase. Detractors argue that a Christian is not likely to refer to "my Muslim faith," and Obama's comfortable use of the phrase "my Muslim faith" suggests he is a Muslim rather than a Christian.

The Washington Times, founded by ecumenical religious leader Rev. Moon, said the phrase was a slip of the tongue.[2]
