Taqiyya:

“Taqiyya is the Islamic doctrine that Muslims are permitted to lie in order to fend off and neutralising any criticism of Islam or Muslims. Lying and cheating in the Arab world is not really a moral matter but a method of safeguarding honor and status, avoiding shame, and at all times exploiting possibilities, for those with the wits for it, deftly and expeditiously to convert shame into honor on their own account and vice versa for their opponents.

“If honor so demands, lies and cheating may become absolute imperatives.” [David Pryce-Jones, New York: Harper & Row, 1989, “The Closed Circle” An Interpretation of the Arabs, pg. 4].

“No dishonor attaches to such primary transactions as selling short weight, deceiving anyone about quality, quantity or kind of goods, cheating at gambling, and bearing false witness. The doer of these things is merely quicker off the mark than the next fellow; owing him nothing, he is not to be blamed for taking what he can.” [pg. 38].

EXACTLY — All the signs are there. SO MANY SIGNS TOO! And, yet the Americans who voted for him called us all idiots (and as I remember some Conservatives thought so as well). Obama is a usurper in the role of President AFAIC.
