Conservative author says photo shows Obama ‘flashing one-finger affirmation of Islamic faith’

[DonViejo]

Prsident Barack Obama has moved beyond the “terrorist fist jab” with another hand gesture that conservatives believe proves he is, in fact, a Muslim.

Writing for The American Thinker website, the blogger and Islamophobic author F.W. Burleigh closely examines a photograph of Obama taken in August during a meeting with African dignitaries.

“It shows Barack Hussein Obama flashing the one-finger affirmation of Islamic faith to dozens of African delegates,” claims Burleigh, author of “It’s All About Muhammad, a Biography of the World’s Most Notorious Prophet.”

The Associated Press photo shows the smiling president holding up his right index finger in an apparent interaction with someone as he walks in a line past dignitaries already assembled for a group photo.

Video (below) from the event shows Obama made the gesture after one of the dignitaries commented to him as he passes, and the president and three men he behind him are all laughing or smiling.

1. Here's Ted Cruz doing it for real, not wagging his finger:

I'd also be interested to know if this is an affirmation of monotheistic faith used by both muslim and christian fundies..?

3. Can we make that go viral?

Obviously Ted Cruz supports terrorists. Pass it on.

10. Now if he just extends his thumb and holds his hand in front of his forehead...

...that would be perfect.

14. This photo should be posted every place this ludricious article is circulated. Especially

Since with Cruz, it's the real thing. He's been brought up to believe from his church that he's ANOINTED to rule the USA.

2. In other words, they have absolutely NOTHING on Obama..

and it's freaking them out since he's almost gone.

5. They never can get anything to stick so it drives them crazy.

Obama will exit office with a sterling record and zero scandals. I LOVE how it drives the GOP crazy.

4. Do you remember when a fly buzzed around him? Proof that Obama is the "Lord of the Flies": Satan!

7. Googling "one-finger affirmation" leads only to this article

and places like Free Republic agreeing with it:

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.

For followers of ISIS, a single raised index finger has become a sign of their cause, and it is increasingly common in photographs of militants. Some have even gone so far as to call the symbol “the jihadi equivalent of a gang sign.”

11. Poor Obama...no matter what he does or does not do..they will hate on him.

I admit to being quite shocked at the racism and invective shown since he was elected.
It is the singlet deepest concern I have about this country.

[spanone]

12. conservative author is a racist s.o.b.

[uppityperson]

13. I thought that was the uber-xian "one way" finger thingie? Here is the graphic...

[CJCRANE]

15. I knew it! Good catch!

I first the one finger thing on Facebook about two years ago, used by muslim fundies.

I then saw Ted Cruz do it and figured it must be a "One God" thing used by both brands of fundies.

[uppityperson]

17. 1971, I held up a finger to a friend "wait a moment" and he broke up laughing as it was the

Jesus, One Way symbol even back then.
