Obama's ring: 'There is no god but Allah'

As a student at Harvard Law School, then-bachelor Barack Obama’s practice of wearing a gold band on his wedding-ring finger puzzled his colleagues.

Now, newly published photographs of Obama from the 1980s show that the ring Obama wore on his wedding-ring finger as an unmarried student is the same ring Michelle Robinson put on his finger at the couple’s wedding ceremony in 1992.

Moreover, according to Arabic-language and Islamic experts, the ring Obama has been wearing for more than 30 years is adorned with the first part of the Islamic declaration of faith, the Shahada: “There is no god except Allah.”

The Shahada is the first of the Five Pillars of Islam, expressing the two fundamental beliefs that make a person a Muslim: There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is Allah’s prophet.

Sincere recitation of the Shahada is the sole requirement for becoming a Muslim, as it expresses a person’s rejection of all other gods.

Really, you mean he has gotten over his aversion to book-promoting opportunities?

10. I remember a joke going around here that Bush's ring was the One Ring

12. !

hahahaha!

[Berlum]

16. Bush got that ring while he was AWOL from the National Guard

[CakeGrrl]

8. If they weren't so stunningly ignorant, you could really

burst their bubble by explaining that the President eats pork products.

[Care Acutely]

9. And doesn't just DRINK beer, he makes his own.

I really want some, too.

[RichGirl]

15. It's a combination of extreme ignorance and rabid hate.

What if it was his father's ring, a father he barely knew and it was all he had of him. What would be wrong with him wearing it and respecting the religion of his father. It's nothing to do with the ring or his religion or his place of birth...we know what it's about. And if there is a God or Karma I wouldn't want to be one of these haters.

[Mariana]

18. Oh, they've already explained that little discrepancy away.

I heard all about it from my crazy-ass relatives - the ones who believe all the ridiculous bullshit in those loony e-mails the RWers spread around.

You see, Muslims are allowed to do any and all of those things that are normally prohibited, as long as they're doing them to mislead the infidels while they secretly work to bring about an Islamic dictatorship.

Therefore, when we see the President eat pork, that is PROOF that he's a secret Muslim!

[Aerows]

27. I've known a Muslim or two

And neither of them ate pork or drank beer to "mislead" my infidel self. That's the same kind of crap that has been said about Jewish people, that it is okay to lie to non-Jews and to mislead non-Jews. It is so asinine that it doesn't even bear repeating.

This "secret handshake club" bullshit of religion is going to be the death of us. Want to be popular and part of a secret society? Great. Do great works, shut up about doing them, and don't try to form a little club and insinuate that you are better than everyone else because you are a part of this "club".

[Mariana]

37. Right on. nt.

Which does, in fact, say it is okay to LIE if you are doing it to serve the lord.

17. From jclifford at Irregular Times:

Does Obama Really Wear A Muslim Shahadah Ring?
jclifford 10/10/2012

...

The two “Arabic-language and Islamic experts” Corsi cites are by no means neutral. One, Mark A. Gabriel, is an anti-Islam activist, describing himself as “a Christian evangelist. He is also spreading the truth about Islam.” The other, Joel Gilbert, has been an active anti-Obama activist, involved with the Conservative Political Action Committee, having produced one film entitled “Atomic Jihad: Ahmadinejad’s Coming War for Islamic Revival and Obama’s Politics of Defeat”, and another entitled “Dreams From My Real Father”, which repeats the old, debunked assertion that Frank Marshall Davis is Barack Obama’s real father.

Corsi, Gabriel and Gilbert all have the appearance of people with an axe to grind against Barack Obama and against Islam. But, let’s not rely upon ad hominem attacks against their conspiracy theory that Barack Obama is wearing an Islamic ring as a code to indicate solidarity with other Muslims around the world. It’s possible for kooky people to occasionally stumble upon the truth, so let’s look at the facts.

...


There isn’t much similarity between Barack Obama’s ring and the examples of Shahadah rings that I found. In fact, I couldn’t find a single example of a Shahadah ring that looks anything all like Barack Obama’s ring. (In case you’re wondering, Snopes hasn’t written on this particular conspiracy theory yet.)

Next, let’s look at the part of the Shahadah script that Jerome Corsi, Mark Gabriel and Joel Gilbert say can be seen in the photograph of Obama’s ring, along with other representations of the same piece of the Shahadah script, found elsewhere.

[Aerows]

43. But he's in a position of power

He's a Democrat, and well, he's black. That automatically makes him a foreigner that is bad for this country. Can't you see that? He can't even get the ring right, even if that invalidates that it is such a ring. If he did get the ring right, well, then, see?!

[FSogol]

19. What happens if they play the ring backward?

[Aerows]

25. It says

"All them rule to ring one."

I know, doesn't make much sense to me either, but then again nothing from World Nut ever does

[Renew Deal]

20. He's so busted

Quite a find by the Arabic speakers at World Nut Daily.

[tarheelsunc]

22. OMGZ, he's so screwed!!!!

These dipshits are so pathetic, they are so desperate for their guy to win that they try to create their own reality where Obama is who they say he is. Remember the so-called doctored photo of Obama as a child with a "black" hand on his side(that was obviously darker due to shadow)?

[Aerows]

23. Hmmm

President Obama eats pork sausage and drinks beer.

But, yeah, let's pick on his wedding ring, because there is no way that he is legitimately married, legitimately President of the United States, or legitimately a human being.

That's pretty much the summation of the right wingnut platform - President Obama isn't a legitimate human being, and I'm pretty sure we all know why they feel that way. It makes me mad as hell at times that people can't accept an intelligent, measured, articulate leader simply because he has more melanin in his skin than some people find appropriate.

Screw them for being racist jerks.

[treestar]

24. They get crazier and crazier

[tridim]

28. This reminds me of the backward masking crap in the 70's.

Turn me on dead man, indeed.

[earthside]

29. "He's a communist, buddy."

I heard a nice white woman proclaim to Chris Matthews today on Hardball.

A Muslim communist.

It must be true, I've seen it on the TV machine and on the internets.

[Aerows]

30. No, not quite

He's a fascist, socialist, communist Muslim.

EDIT: Oh, and I heard he can spell, too!

[earthside]

33. OMG ... not that! n/y

[Aerows]

44. I know!

He must be a communist if he can spell.

[dougtaylor]

35. "I ain't even got a garage...."

You can call home and ask my wife!

[Aerows]

45. I'm not a marijuana smoker, sir

But I don't begrudge those that choose to risk it. Good to see you offering your input.

[Gold Metal Flake]

47. It's a reference to a comedy song from 1971.

I have no idea of the relevance, but maybe you will get a chuckle from it. I was a kid when it was new and it was in heavy rotation.

[BarackTheVote]

31. It's a bunch of squiggly lines... it's like seeing faces in wood pattern LOL nt

32. Got this in an email today.

From a "friend".

He's also STILL birther.

[Generic Other]

34. They must be working overtime because I got one too

[Aerows]

46. Bunch of crazy as hell family members

doing an "outreach" to tell lies. How a preacher can stand in the pulpit and tell his congregation to lie astounds me.

That right there is why people have less and less trust of religious leaders.

[Nevernose]

36. Wen of it WAS

What they allege, isn't that the first commandment?

[sabrina 1]

39. And what would be wrong with someone wearing such a ring in this Democratic Nation?

The blatant racism is just reprehensible.

What if he was wearing THIS ring eg?



Double Cross Jesus Is Lord Ring

http://www.christianbook.com/double-cross-jesus-silver-size-9/pd/113536?item_code=WW&netp_id=800896&event=51500JWL|

Any problem with that ring? To someone who is not into any religion I imagine both would seem a bit odd. But not just one unless you are a racist.

[NoMoreWarNow]

41. I don't have a problem with an Allah ring even if it was that

but would like some explanation about since he is officially Christian. Not my biggest worry though.

[sabrina 1]

42. No explanation is needed, assuming he ever did wear it. It's a piece of jewelry, that's all.

And if someone has to explain THAT piece of jewelry, then anyone wearing any kind of religious jewelry needs to explain themselves also.

I eg, received a gift from my two room mates after college, who were from India, they were Hindus. I absolutely loved it. It was a pendant featuring Krishna. I don't remember anyone demanding to know why I wore it. That should be obvious. If someone wears a ring like that, who cares? Why do YOU care?

The Far Right has some serious issues and to see anyone spending their time and effort on something like this, which means nothing to most normal people, simply proves why they should be ignored, marginalized, and definitely kept far away from any position of power in this country.

People are free still in this country to practice whatever religion they choose and Christians are free to wear any kind of jewelry they want to.

It is those questioning those rights that I want an explanation for.

He's a muslin and a tool of satin...
