DescriptionFor the record, local car dealer turned Republican congressional candidate Tom Ganley isn't among the roughly one in five Americans who thinks President Obama is a Muslim.

But he didn't feel like sharing that sentiment when a reporter for an inside-the-Beltway publication called "Roll Call" spoke to him today for an article that he believed would focus on his campaign for Congress against Democratic Rep. Betty Sutton of Copley Township.

When asked whether he believes Obama is a Muslim, Ganley "felt it was irrelevant to the interview at hand," said Ganley spokeswoman, Meghan Snyder. "For the record, he doesn't believe the president is Muslim."

Ganley's reticence was rewarded with an online article titled: "Ganley Won't Say Whether He Thinks Obama is a Muslim." The article quotes Ganley as saying: "I don't have a position on whether he's a Muslim."

A newly released Pew Research Center study indicates that 18 percent of Americans believe Obama is Muslim.
