Is Obama Muslim? Germany

This post will try to figure out in how far the media in germany covered the topic that Obama is a muslim. I researched on the internet to look for some articles and I have also talked to some people and asked if they nkew something about this rumor.
First, I thas to be said that not many people know something about this rumor in germany and if they do know something it is often that they only heard once or twice in very short articles about that. This is also what I have figured out by looking for articles in the german newspapers. There were a few articles which covered this topic but they do not really ask the question if Obama is a muslim. They only pointed out American's reaction to that rumor.
I have found one article which tells the numbers how many people in the U.S. believed the rumor. It says that 14 percent of the republicans, 10 percent of the democrats and 8 percent of the independents believed in this rumor. Furthermore it says that mostly those who do not want Obama to be president believed in this rumor.http://www.welt.de/politik/article1845642/Jeder_Zehnte_haelt_Obama_fuer_einen_Moslem.html
All in all you can say that in germany there was no big debate about this topic and it was not interesting for the people if Obama is a muslim but if the Americans think so.
