An unbelievable moment in American history occurred in the White House Rose Garden when President Barack Obama smiled very perceptibly as Robert Bergdahl, father of Bowe, uttered the famous Islamic war cry of victory for Allah! Cliq on the video link below to watch an American presidents expression of glee as Bergdahl says: bismillah-al-rahman-al-rahim.
This Arabic phrase meaning in the name of Allah the most gracious, the most merciful, was translated into English by Walid Shoebat, a Middle Eastern scholar who left the Islamic tradition and came to America, converting to Christianity. (1) Im your father, Bowe, said Robert Bergdahl in the Rose Garden, flanked by Obama and the mother of the young man whose loyalty to America now is under scrutiny. Bismillah or Basmallah is the Islamic Victory cry, says Shoebat.
Walid and Theodore Shoebat, whose exclusive web analysis tells us what just happened to America, also decipher three very important clues which indicate Robert Bergdahl is a new convert to Islam.(2) Pronouncing the basmallah Islamic war cry of victory...

Yep, right in our face just like every thing else he does.
Can’t wait to see Maureen Dowd in a buraqa walking ten steps behind Juan Williams.
Off topic, but have the Obamas been to church even once since he took office?
Silly headline. Singing to a small choir and convincing no one else
I think their relationship goes back further than last week.
Click through to the article and follow the links at the foot of the article. Very interesting.
Fellow Muslim Barack Obama -—— this is the way he should be announced always.
People are wondering why he did this?? HE’S ONE OF THEM!!!!
Just a note: the very influential 19th century Calvinist missionary to Arabia, Samuel Zwemer, had this Arabic phrase engraved on a plaque in his office and it was on the banner head of his missionary magazine for decades.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Marinus_Zwemer#cite_note-29
Please note: Bob Bergdahl has been a member of a conservative Presbyterian church.
Yes it was weird. However being happy for the release of your son by calling God “most gracious, the most merciful” in a language the the captors would recognize... (since it’s such a famous Islamic phrase) doesn’t seem entirely beyond reason.
Why praise God in the language of the captors? Praise God in your own language. If you must use the language of the captors then leave it at “thank you”.
BTW - Bergdahl wasn’t captured, he sought them out after first mailing home his possessions then leaving under cover of the night.
It was very noticeable...and very ungentlemanly.
Bergdahl was strict Calvinist.
Attending a church no more makes One a CHristian than Being In a Garage Makes one an automobile!
He said there was stuff in the box for them. "Use them".
Were they Taliban connections? Phone numbers?
I agree. That’s why Bergdahl was not giving a “victory cry for Allah” in the sense of militant Islam when he recited the Bismillah.
I’m tired of this right wing, tinfoil hat, conspiratorial assault on our esteemed President. If he was, indeed, a muslim he would:
cover up the name of God at a graduation
bow down to a Saudi sheik
turn his back on Israel and support the Palestinians
telegraph the end of a war in Afghanistan
release 4 hardcore terrorist in exchange for one American deserter-muslim
etc. etc.
Get over it you truthers, n ext thing you know you’ll say he had a radical muslim father.
It is beyond reason. He had already been released so there's no reason to kiss up to his supposed captors.
