According to journalist Avi Lipkin, Gheit appeared on Nile TV's "Round Table Show" in January, on which he said that "he had had a one-on-one meeting with Obama who swore to him that he was a Moslem, the son of a Moslem father and step-son of Moslem step-father, that his half-brothers in Kenya were Moslems, and that he was loyal to the Moslem agenda."Until now I haven’t hopped aboard the, “Obama’s-really-a-Muslim” bandwagon. I have a personal objection to the way many conservative Christians (of whom I believe I’m one) are so casual about accusing people of not being Christians, in spite of public declarations that they are. My scruple isn’t based on my conviction that Obama is an exemplary Christian, which he certainly isn’t, but on my own experience with fellow Christians (also less than exemplary) who assume their status as “saved” people entitles them to commit the grave sin of, at a glance, presuming upon Christ's office of declaring who's a sheep and who's a goat. I can’t like the way it’s been done to Obama, because I don’t like the way it’s been done to me.
Obama allegedly said this in the context of reassuring Gheit that he would soon deal with Israel:
He asked that the Moslem world show patience. Obama promised that once he overcame some domestic American problems (Healthcare) [sic], that he would show the Moslem world what he would do with Israel.
Yet while I think that bad habit is best not indulged, it's not an absolute. I have rued the public Christian disobedience of persons whose faith I never questioned, such as Ted Kennedy or Jimmy Carter. And as low an opinion I have of Carter's presidential and post-presidential folly, no one ever suggested he secretly belonged to any other religion.
Nothing’s stopped me from observing the way Obama’s public behavior and policy decisions have been bereft of any evidence at all that he either identifies with the values of Christians, or holds them in anything but public contempt. At the same time, his very public admiration for the Koran and Islam is, to make a more proper use of Nancy Pelosi’s improper use of the word about her own Catholicism, “ardent”:
I’m simply not aware of a comparable glut of material reflecting Obama’s love for Christians and his stated Christian faith.
Now, this latest report, if it can be confirmed as true, is damning indeed, not because the U.S.A. can’t have a Muslim for president, but because it means Obama has lied to us about his true religious identity. And, as Pamela writes, “This is a devastating claim, and yet no media outlet is covering it.”
At the moment, it’s still only hearsay from an Egyptian diplomat who admits that he is betraying a confidence.
Still, as Pamela Geller points out,
Even if Gheit's claim isn't true, or was misreported, every country in the free world must be cognizant of the catastrophic sea change that has taken place in the leadership of the free world -- as witnessed by events over the past year. Barack Obama took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and yet whether he is a Muslim or not, he has undeniably gone around the world promoting Islam and Sharia (Islamic law).Nor is she just speaking in generalities, but includes plenty of examples from Obama’s track record:

Regardless of what may or may not be his personal faith, if nothing else, Obama’s treacherous anti-Israel foreign policy goes beyond showing sympathy for the Muslim world, and reaches, possibly, all the way to being his own participation in jihad.March 2009: he demands that more Muslim Americans work in the Obama administration and insists that they be recruited.

What the terrorists have been allowed to take over are Muslim grievances."April 2009: Obama lays groundwork for a partnership with Hamas.
