Obama is clearly practicing the Islamic principle of Taqiyya; hiding one's Muslim faith.

His campaign blamed "shameful, shadowy attackers." The media actually blamed the media (and human nature). But the only person to blame for the surprising number of Americans who think the president is a Muslim is Barack Hussein Obama.

So says author and Boston talk-radio personality Chuck Morse.

"Obama bears the lion's share of the responsibility for any confusion," said Morse. "There are only two scenarios that can dispel it – and with Islamic law undergirding both – neither is very comforting."

"The Nazi Connection to Islamic Terrorism: Adolf Hitler and Haj Amin Al-Husseini"

The issue arose following a Pew Research Center poll, with its Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, that revealed nearly 1 in 5 Americans – or 18 percent – said they think Obama is a Muslim.

The poll taken just days ago is a dramatic change from the 11 percent who held that belief in March 2009. The percentage now who say they believe White House statements that Obama is Christian is at 34 percent, down from 43 percent in 2009.

A separate poll released by Time magazine showed 24 percent believe Obama is Muslim.

Morse is the author of the newly released "The Nazi Connection to Islamic Terrorism," which probes a forgotten chapter of World War II history and recounts how Hitler united with a Muslim leader whose anti-Jewish teachings still inform modern-day terrorists.

Morse makes an equally compelling case in his bold assertion that the president is concealing something profound about his religious and political identity.

"It's hard to reasonably explain Obama's cold relationship with Israel, his inaction in the face of Iran obtaining a nuclear bomb, his giving a green light to the building of a mosque near where Islamic fundamentalists hijacked passenger planes on September 11, 2001, and made them into missiles to destroy the World Trade Center in Manhattan," says Morse.

One possible explanation, says Morse, is the Islamic principle of Taqiyya – or the sanctioning of hiding one's Muslim faith.
