observes that the two most widely recognized symbols of Islam are the crescent and the sword. Kind of amusing that Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign logo can be seen to feature both a crescent and a curved Islamic scimitar:
The crescent shape in Obama’s logo has the round part on top, just like a traditional crescent shaped mihrab (the Mecca direction indicator around which every mosque is built). The animation shows the two most famous mihrabs in the world: the mihrab from the Great Mosque in Cordoba, and the Prophet’s mihrab in Medina.
The lighter vertical column in the center-bottom of the logo, presumably meant to indicate reflected light, even conveys the full vertical shape of a traditional mihrab. The scimitar in the animation is from the flag of the Bosnian regiment of the Nazi SS.
If Obama himself had come up with this crescent logo, one might suspect Islamic intent, given his Islamic heritage. But the logo was not designed by Obama. It was designed by a Chicago based branding firm named Sender, which claims credit for coming up with: "a white sunrise against a blue sky, over a landscape implied by red and white stripes."
Obama definitely deserves to be made fun of for having a fairly obvious crescent shape in his logo, given his efforts to convince the public that he is not Muslim. This is already an uphill climb, when both his grandmother and his cousin are telling documented lies about their religion, claiming to be Christian in one venue while professing themselves Muslim in another. Lying about being Christian: it’s an Obama family tradition!
Still, there is no indication that the crescent and scimitar shapes in Obama’s logo are intended to convey any Islamic meaning. A genuine coincidence apparently.
Interesting post. There sure are alot of "coincidences" with this man, aren't there? Not holding his hand over his heart during the pledge of allegiance? Just a coincidence. Not wearing a flag pin, then wearing a flag pin? Eh, just a coincidence. No valid birth certificate presented yet? Coincidence. Muslim/marxist father? Coincidence. Grew up in a muslim country and studied in a muslim school but isn't a muslim? Coincidence. Claims to be a "christian" but that claim was formed on the backdrop of "black liberation theology" by a preacher that screams "God Damn America" from the pulpit, but pay no mind, it's a coincidence. Mentored by commie Frank Davis? Coincidence. Mom a "fellow traveler?" Coincidence. Studied Saul Alinsky and taught his principles at Harvard? Coincidence. Obama/Osama with "BS" being the only difference in their names? Coincidence. Hussien his middle name? Coincidence (but he's not a muslim!) Associated with Bill Ayers, the American bomber? Coincidence. Bill is a swell commie now.
Blah blah blah. It never ends with this guy. You pointed out some very interesting things in your post. All just a coincidence? I don't know, but regardless of who designed it, you're post hits a home run as far as comparing his logo to muslim symbols.
Maybe instead of an "O" for a symbol, Obama should just use a giant "CC," standing for the "Coincidence Candidate."
