(CNN)Alabama US senate candidate Roy Moore's foundation shared a video on its Facebook page in 2015 that uses out-of-context video clips of then-President Barack Obama to promote the conspiracy theory that Obama is a Muslim.

The Foundation for Moral Law, the non-profit Christian legal organization that Moore founded in the early 2000s, shared the video titled "OBAMA THE MUSLIM, HIS OWN WORDS" on November 18, 2015. Moore currently holds the title of president emeritus at the foundation.

It was originally posted by the group Britain First, a far-right British nationalist organization that describes its goals as to "restore Christianity as the bedrock and foundation of our national life," citing "the rapid growth of militant Islam."

Moore's wife, Kayla Moore, who has served as the president of the foundation since 2013, also shared the video on her personal Facebook and on the wall of the Friends of Roy Moore Facebook group the same day the foundation shared the video.
