Barack Obama is not a Muslim, but a recent survey found that about 10 percent of Americans believe he is. That perception has been fueled by a campaign of rumors and innuendo. It's a campaign that has caused pain in many Muslim communities, including one in Pennsylvania, which holds a key presidential primary Tuesday.

Obama had a Muslim stepfather. As a child, he learned about Islam and sometimes went to mosque. Nevertheless, he's a devout Christian.

But his middle name, Hussein, has been used by opponents to imply that he's a Muslim.

In February, radio host Bill Cunningham spoke in Cincinnati at a campaign event for Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

"At some point the media will quit taking sides in this thing and maybe start covering Barack Hussein Obama," Cunningham said. McCain quickly condemned Cunningham's comments.

There are other examples. Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa, speaking on a local radio station last month, said: "I will tell you, if he is elected president then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida and the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11th."
