People have repeatedly called his Christianity into question and accused him of being a Muslim. Hillary's campaign has underhandedly tried to highlight his Muslim ancestry, as though it's an insult or negative thing repeatedly. Of course, he's encouraged such behavior by not immediately denouncing it as Islamophobia and instead going on the defensive.

The statement isn't so much about Christians and their tendency to attack Muslim states, but about Obama's distancing himself from his Muslim heritage. So there's nothing really offensive about it.
