I believe it is, because IMO, the only reason anyone thinks he's a Muslim is because of his name and skin color. Plus, the negative nature of this accusation stems from the belief that all Muslims are dark-skinned and are terrorists, which is also bigoted.

...I wouldn't say it's code, but it's still being used as an insult.

Uhmmm... no, Islam is a religion and its followers are called Muslims, it is not a race. There are muslims of all different colours and backgrounds.

The word "Nigger" is usually used for afro caribbean people. Not people from Asia...

How dare you puting a comparison Muslim to the word "nigger?"  Muslims world wide has no /color/colour.  There are white Muslims, brown, Muslims, Black Muslim, Chinese Muslims, now even Hispanic Muslims, former Nazi Muslims son on and forth.

I am extremely offended by your ill title comparison.  Damn it, if Obam is so insecurity about his middle name, I will suggest him to strip the honorable Muslim name and adopt some kind of western style name.

Simple to answer your question, No.  The way some people use that word doesn't change the definition of "Muslim."

Yeah, every word that describes Obama is a secret codeword for nigger.  It is because Americans just hate the thought of a black president, because we are all very racist.
