What's the brouhaha over Obama flashing a "Muslim gang sign"?


Obama and the Muslim Gang Sign  "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 reaction of Togo president Faure Gnassingbe, at the top row second to the left, is less approving.  Through his face you can read the mind of this Sorbonne- and George Washington University educated leader. His mind is screaming, “You gotta be kidding!”

. . . "Maybe it was Obama’s idea of a joke, but that is unlikely.  The finger in the air was a position statement brazenly stated.  His entire administration has been a promotion of Islam at home and abroad, and just cataloging the evidence would fill a book.  He has made this country cozy for Islam, from ordering NASA to make Muslims feel good about themselves to calling ISIS beheading victim Peter Kassig by the Muslim name that he had adopted in the vain hope of saving his life." . . .


"Here's a one-finger sign for you too. America"

Snopes.com's dishonest attempt at debunking 'Obama and the Muslim Gang Sign'
"Snopes.com has attempted to debunk the article “Obama and the Muslim Gang Sign,” by F.W. Burleigh, with a dishonest entry.  It makes two points, both of which are refuted by evidence in the article it purports to debunk. "


What does this president advocate?  . . . "He gives the previously aborted thumbs-up sign and says something that is indistinct, but you don't have to have the training that deaf people are given to be able to read Obama’s lips.  As he flashes his upright thumb, his lips say, “Allahu Akbar.” 
. . . "The African delegates who saw his reaction to the cry of Allahu Akbar understood what he was communicating through his finger gesture, and many were clearly disturbed.  Americans should be disturbed, too, because, perhaps more clearly than ever, Obama has revealed his allegiance to a dangerous cult – dangerous because it was the creation of an extremely dangerous man."

I do not think Obama is a Muslim but do think he fears them. I see him as the terrified schoolboy who gives his lunch money to the campus bully so he will be left alone. Much the same as Obama gave away Eastern Europe defense armaments to console the Russians. TD
