i would imagine that obama mentioned islamism being in his family so as to illustrate that this country doesn't hate the religion, since he was elected with that in his background. i personally don't care what anyone's religion is, or lack thereof. policy shouldn't be predicated on whatever type preacher you decide to listen to, or what church you attend. if anything, i find repeated discussion of your faith to be a turn-off. i'd never vote for huckabee because of it, and couldn't stand it when bush inferred he was acting on gods behalf. asa hutchison ran for office here in arkansas because 'god told him to'. i wonder if god also told him he'd lose? i'd imagine not...
