Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, requires all Muslims to give at least 2.5% of their income to charity or other good causes. The publicly released Obama tax returns and can see that he and Mrs. Obama give an average of less than 1% of their income to charity.

People spread the rumor that candidate Obama was a Muslim to create a fear that he would advance a Muslim agenda as President.  The fact that he went on to advocate same-sex marriage and homosexuals in the military shows that the fear was unfounded.

Obama and the [[Obama administration]] have aggressively promoted the [[homosexual agenda]] via public policy and public statements. People spread the rumor that candidate Obama was a Muslim to create a fear that he would advance a Muslim agenda as President.  The fact that he went on to advocate same-sex marriage and homosexuals in the military shows that the fear was unfounded.

As in the [[Bible]], the [[Koran]] has anti-homosexuality passages (Koran 7:80-81; 26:165) and so does the [[Hadith]].  Among Islamic scholars, there is a consensus that homosexuality is unnatural and sinful. There are Islamic countries that have anti-homosexuality laws, as do some States in the United States.  So, President Obama's actions as President undercut the claim that he is a Muslim.
