Obama and the Muslim Gang Sign

By F. W. Burleigh

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.



Barack Hussein Obama flashes the Muslim shahada to delegates of the
US-African Leaders Conference in Washington DC in August 2014.

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.

Thus when believers stick their index finger in the air, they demonstrate they are partisans of Muhammad’s God concept. And they also affirm their belief in Muhammad’s claim he was the interface between God and man. They also demonstrate they are part of the umma, the exclusive transtribal supertribe of believers that Muhammad started 1,400 years ago.

With his forefinger in the air, Obama affirmed his membership in this tribe.

Thanks for the interesting post. Another layer peeled back.

Personally I have believed since the first day I heard about this individual that he was a Muslim.

Even so, I thought this article was a bit of a stretch, grasping at straws if you will.

But I still can't get past the question of why he was making that particular gesture at that particular moment.



There's no other reason I can deduce for him doing so than what the author claims. As far as I can tell, no one spoke to Obama. Only 3 or 4 of the men are even looking in his general direction. It makes no sense otherwise.

Not a Muslim or at the very least a Muslim sympathizer?

It's a major step to state Obama is a Muslim but there is definitely something seriously wrong here.
