Obama and the Muslim Gang Sign
AMERICAN THINKER ^ | 18 Feb 15 | F. W. Burleigh

Posted on 02/18/2015 5:34:18 AM PST by elhombrelibre

Is President Obama a Muslim? A lot has been written about this, but if photographs speak louder than words, then a photo taken at last August’s U.S.-African Leaders’ Summit in Washington D.C. might shed considerable light.

It shows Barack Hussein Obama flashing the one-finger affirmation of Islamic faith to dozens of African delegates.

The Associated Press took this astonishing photo as the African dignitaries joined Obama, who hosted the event, in a State Department auditorium for a group photograph. It was published in an article in Britain’s Daily Mail, and it was the only use ever of the photo.

The one-finger display is the distinctive Muslim gang sign: The index finger points straight up while the thumb wraps underneath and presses against the digital phalange of the middle finger. The remaining fingers are squeezed against the palm in order to highlight the extended forefinger. The extended finger is symbolic of the one-God concept of Muhammad and is understood by all believers to be a symbolic shahada, the Muslim affirmation of faith: There is but one God and Muhammad is his messenger.

For followers of ISIS, a single raised index finger has become a sign of their cause, and it is increasingly common in photographs of militants. Some have even gone so far as to call the symbol “the jihadi equivalent of a gang sign.”

I heard a caller on Herman’s show yesterday and I was reminded why I limit my listening. Distinctly BLACK and she told Herman that obozo is the bestest president this country has ever had AND Israel is to blame for forming ISIS. Herman told her to provide her source and she said she would and get back to him. When pigs fly! A BLACK man called right after that and said that we have absolutely no reason to fear ISIS, it’s much to do about nothing! I think he said his name was Hank Johnson - just funning! There really was a caller with that statement.

Poor Herman couldn’t get a word in edgewise when these two callers were talking.... Some gal called and I didn’t hear where she was from but she laughed and said there really were conservatives where she lived and he said, “You should try being black AND conservative.” Ain’t that the truth?

Watch this ISIS propaganda video.

At the end the terrorists all give the index finger up sign.

JUST LIKE OBAMA.
