The exact definition of Dhimmi, a term which we talk about all the time on this blog, is:
Dhimmi was the name applied by the Arab-Muslim conquerors to indigenous non-Muslim populations who surrendered by a treaty (dhimma) to Muslim domination
The President of the United States Barack Obama (C back to camera) greets King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia (C) before the official G20 leaders photograph with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace on April 1, 2009 in London, England.
Obama is on his first trip to the UK as President and will be attending G20 world leaders summit dedicated to tackling the global financial crisis.
American Thinkiner adds this:
See Miss Manners on the protocol. Americans do not bow to foreign monarchs because that act signified the monarchs power over his subjects.
Can we put this in BREAKING NEWS?
Exactly... Once you’ve seen the video there is no room for misinterpretation... NONE at all...
Maybe that’s it. The whole thing is a giant American Idol nightmare, and tomorrow I’ll wake up and laugh at it...
You're right. Obama didn't swap spit with him.
Americans can’t be insulted these days.
Lambs for the slaughter.
They all have their heads in the sand and can’t see or hear the knives being sharpened.
Ooh, nice graphic.
This is the truth in pixels.
You are correct.
Today is a sad, sad day for our great America. I’ve thought all along he was a plant, and now I truly believe it in my heart.
This wasn’t a “faux pas” on Obama’s part. NO-ONE is THAT stupid - not even Obama! SERIOUSLY... This is a calculated gesture. As if any of us “COMMONERS” would make such a “mistake” in his position!
this needs to get out to all media.
YES, IT SHOULD.
Instead, it is FAST disapearing from the Internet. Googles News Search had several results for this earlier in the day, Now its ZERO...
Talk about ORWELLIAN!
contrast this to the way they charged into the Queen and acted with no class
then this idiot is on his knees
I ask all of you to get this out to as many folk as possible and to the media
his visit to the Queen was always shown how about this now and maybe Beck Hannity can show this on TV tonight
It’s like linking arms. Older men in a lot of non-US places link arms when they walk around, and Arabs (and until only a few years ago, Spaniards) hold hands. All it means is friendship. Granted, that may have been a misunderstanding in this case, but Bush would have severely insulted him by pushing his hand away, so there probably wasn’t much of an alternative.
Bambi, on the other hand, went in and voluntarily bowed before the Saud king. Big difference.
At least Dubya’s mouth is closed....Can’t say the same thing about odumba.
Glad you realized I am right...;-)
Remember, he did not wear the flag pin or put his hand over his heart during the campaign. This could be seen as just a continuation of the same attitude.
There’s a big difference. Kissing (in Europe and the ME) is a sign of friendship between equals. It may not be what we do here in the US, but that’s all that it means.
Bowing is just that - bowing, a sign of submission. But since the Saudi king probably paid for Bambi’s entire campaign, hey, why not?
W and Obama are a lot alike.
I disagree,
This picture of Bush hand in hand with the king and walking beside him shows them as equals prepared to work together, Obama bowing shows that he is their servant or subject and ready to obey their edicts.
One is of two leaders in the world and the other is of a leader and his servant.
Un-Freakin Believable. What a POS! How the HELL will our military put up with this Muslim?
_____________________________________________
I’m kinda hoping they won’t for much longer.
The only thing you need to understand is that Obama is deferring to his “Masters”. Wonder no more where those Millions of unaccounted for campaign contributions came from. Wonder no more where his allegiance lies — it is NOT with America!
An American President bows to NO-ONE! (The only possible exception would be a mutual bow when greeting a Japanese diplomat for example, but that only shows mutual respect, and NOT submission!)
Even if, SOMEHOW, Obama convinces the American Sheeple that this isn’t what it really was, our enemies in the Radical Islamic world know EXACTLY what just happened and they got their confirmation... Obama is one of THEM...
I can only guess what Bibi is saying right now! They just got their confirmation that they are on their own against the Arab world...
“Remember, he did not wear the flag pin or put his hand over his heart during the campaign.”
And THAT should have been a BIG warning sign to people. But most didn’t pay attention to that, or they just didn’t care.
How many more insults to America must Obama do before people get upset? Haven’t we seen enough, already???
Impeach him NOW!!!!!!
Glad you said it... I’ve been working my way up to that, but hadn’t hit that phrasing yet. You’re right... it IS TREASON!
I think W and Obama are both wrong. All one has to do ask, what would John Wayne do?
