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.

The link is incorrect, it links to this article: “The Word for this Administration: Islamisant”

The din needs to become a roar. More people in this country and around the world need to realize that they are dealing with a Muslim in Obama. He is practicing the tenet of taqqiyah against America by trying to act Christian while barely concealing his true nature.

Obama is like the character “Edgar the Bug” played by Vincent d’Onofrio in the movie Men In Black. He swoops down on America, snatches up popularity by inject himself into the skin of community organizing and academe. He prances around the country spouting his cockroach beliefs while appearing human and affable. Every time he talks, a little bit of the skin stretches, sometimes it cracks and the Islamist cockroach in him bleeds out a little.

Americans need to stomp this bug. The leaders of Canada and Rome see the Islamist threat for what it is, but the world’s leading superpower is blind to the threat because the “Commander in Chief” is nothing more than a cockroach directly the light away from the kitchen floor where his brethren are scurrying into position to take over the whole damn house.

I have struggled for a while with this idea. Is he a failed post modern progressive screwing up because he sees the world with all of the wrong premises? Is he a secret Islamists? I think it's safe to say he could be either. He could be both. And, finally, the consequences probably don't matter all that much for our nation since in any case the results are the same.

On the other hand, if one looks at Christian art, he might be signaling his Christianity. however I doubt it. The pointed index finger is a common symbol in Christian art.

I think it signified John

If you view him at worst a Muslim sympathizer then all of his actions make sense through that prism.

He’s giving us the way to see his soul and his values.

I don’t believe Obama himself is intelligent or intellectually capable beyond any learned finery. He’s proven himself to be inarticulate, bumbling, and misdirected when he tries to get points across. Interviewers of moderate intellect have tripped him up with questions that should be preeminent to any man or woman in the CinC seat.

I believe his handlers, the Valerie Jarretts of the administration, are the truly devious, evil people behind all of the mishandling of world affairs, and I believe it is all deliberate. They know exactly what they are doing, and while they play chess on the world stage, the idiot American voting public is entertained by Internet cats and white trash reality TV.
