There is no question of whether he was born a Muslim. He was. That's the Islamic tradition.
He said he became a Christian and I tend to believe him. Normally Islam has little tolerance for apostasy, but they cut a little slack to children BORN Muslim who then reject their birthright as adults.
If the Big O were a practicing Muslim as an adult and then converted, he would be considered a full apostate and subject to death.
Another theory is that he is pretending to be a Christian for political reasons. This is the opinion on the Islamic street overseas, where he is called 'Our Crusader.'
The man said he converted and I see no evidence to doubt his sincerity.
One may be considered a Muslim at birth by other Muslims, But in reality, one is born a free spirit and is only corupted by ones surroundings. Religion is not part of the birthing experience, at least not by civilized people.
