In case of Obama, the Muslims know that it's the father's religion that is transferred to the son. So they consider him a crypto-Muslim. They don't see him as a threat.

In the case of Jackson, he honored the Muslims by converting to Islam & by being anti-semitic as expressed in his songs. That should make Muslims happy.
