Rebutting Snopes on 'Obama's Muslim Gang Sign'
Americanthinker.com ^ | F. W. Burleigh

Posted on 02/23/2015 6:27:29 AM PST by RoosterRedux

There are two videos of the event where Obama made this display of his forefinger. People who have questioned the article's interpretation of the gesture should take a close look at these videos, and listen to them as well.

It does not take forensic science to recreate the scenario. It's all there in the videos: Just after Obama walked on stage, an off-camera voice coming from behind him cried, “Allahu Akbar.” This is a Muslim expression meaning “God is the greatest,” a cry that Muhammad, the creator of Islam, made frequent use of to incite people to violence and to praise their violent deeds.

Obama’s hand gesture was in response to this cry. It happened quickly. Eight seconds into the video below (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc6XHQHeWnM&feature=youtu.be&t=8s) you can see that he raises his right hand rapidly, and as it reaches the level of his face, a thumbs-up gesture has formed. His hand then disappears behind his head for the briefest moment, and when it reappears, his thumb is folded under his index finger.

It is by then a fully formed and perfectly executed usbu al-shahada -- the finger of shahada, shahada being the fundamental declaration of faith of Muslims: There is but one God and Muhammad is his messenger. This is not finger pointing, or making a point, or getting attention in order to ask a question, or the wagging of a finger.

Well, if he isn't a Muslim he sure acts like one.

Forget the hand signs for a moment. What more could he do to prove it than what he is already doing?

He never cared as he knew the press would cover for him and they did with his “My muslim faith” and “57 states”. There are 57 members of the OIC, the Organization for Islamic Cooperation.

" and “57 states”. There are 57 members of the OIC, the Organization for Islamic Cooperation."

Interesting.

At the 34th Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers (ICFM), an OIC section, in May 2007, the foreign ministers termed Islamophobia the worst form of terrorism.

All Muslims are in denial. Apparently, beheadings and burnings are not considered terrorism if the acts are committed by Muslims against "infidels". That furthers the argument, the truth and the fact that Obama's denial and reluctance to identify the enemy as islamic terrorism is his "admission by omission" of being a true muslim.

I agree - BUT he is a passionate supporter of Muslims.......as he wrote in his book......and even an Imam wouldn’t do and speak much differently than he does.........

I do believe he is doing things secretly and behind the scenes to help Muslims......and he will not do that for Christians........

Excellent video introduction to the truth of Islam - should be required viewing for every US citizen.

Where did you hear that? It’s a husband and wife team and the husband was a registered Republican. They are not known to be political at all.
