→Did not attend church as a President elect: FGM
==== Did not attend church as a President elect ====
==== Did not attend church as a President elect ====
The first section of this article quotes Politico as saying Obama did not attend church since the 2008 election. That article was correct, but it was published on November 23, 2008, just three weeks after the election. A second article is footnoted that states the Obamas did not attend church on Christmas 2008. Both articles explain that the Obamas did not want to disrupt local services with a large security detail and procedures. Because the Obamas later began to attend services at the Evergreen Chapel of Camp David, this does not prove that Obama is a Muslim.

====Female genital mutilation====
Some Muslims practice [[female genital mutilation]], and the practice was wide-spread in Indonesia when Obama lived there. However, the Obama Administration took many actions against the practice, signing a 2013 law tightening the prohibition against FGM, and supported the [[United Nation]]'s efforts against FGM. There is nothing to suggest that the Obama family practiced FGM.
