EDIT: You know, that bothers me a lot that he did that. Americans are in no way subject to some archaic backwards kingdom and their primitive concepts of inherited rule. He owes the American people an apology. We are supposed to be better than that.
The hand holding thing is cultural and indicates brotherhood, the deep bow means quite something else.

If anything, you all can get off the "Obama is a Muslim" trip. Muslims bow to noone but Allah.

Bottom line; Barry embarrassed the holy crap out of himself and anyone else who supports the smarmy jerk.

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia on Saturday banned citizens from kissing his, or any of the royal family member’s hands saying it was against his cultural values and religious values.

“Brothers, there is something in my mind that I want to tell you. Kissing hands is something alien to our values and ethics, and is refused by free and honest people,” he is quoted by daily Saudi newspaper Arab News as saying.

“It also leads to bowing, which is a violation of God’s law. The faithful bow to no one but God.” The custodian of the Two Holy Mosques continued.

“I announce my complete rejection of this matter, and I ask everyone to restrain from kissing the hands of anyone but their parents,” the monarch said.
It is absolutely incredible that 18 other nations would know proper protocol and we would not, absolutely incredible!!!!

You do know also muslims may claim to be Christian as long as they are doing so in furtherance of jihad for islam??

Obama Visited Pakistan in 1981 When All Non-Muslim Vistors were Unwelcome.

11% of Americans believe Obama is a Muslim

So when has Hussein ever renounced Islam???

Exposing Leftists' - Radical Islam Connection

Do you have an opinion on the muslim world view of Fareed Zakaria???

Barry described as 'weak sister' at the G-20.

This isn’t “smart power.”

It’s mindless, unilateral surrender.

That seems to be Obama’s specialty at home and abroad.

*snipped the 18762538 links*

Do you have an opinion on the muslim world view of Fareed Zakaria???
I'm not going to read the links. Do any of them have pertinent information that Muslims bow to anyone other than Allah?

I don't know enough of Fareed's work to form an opinion on his views.

Obamba at first glance:

· His first phone call as president was to Abbas, the terrorist leader of the Palestinian Authority and al Fatah;

· His first interview was on al-Arabiya News Channel, where he apologized for the United States;

· His first appointment of an envoy to Syria was the appointment of George Soros;

· He bankrolled Hamas out of Whitehouse funds to the tune of $23 million, following Israel’s invasion of Gaza to stop the missile strikes;

· He promised another $900 million to Gaza;

· He immediately adopted the Saudi Plan as policy for Israel, which favors a contiguous Palestinian state (that is, a geographic area that connects Gaza with the West Bank and includes Jerusalem – necessarily dividing Israel);..... (which will probably means the death of an acquaintance of mine who is a Christian arab in Bethlehem.)gs

· He dismissed charges against the perpetrators of the bombing of the USS Cole;

· He announced the shut-down of Gitmo, and apologized to the Islamic world for its existence;

· He announced that his first summit would be an Islamic summit.

· He turned a blind eye to Iran’s launch of a satellite capable of triangulating coordinates for ICBMs that Iran is furiously trying to develop for the delivery of nuclear weapons;

· He turned a blind eye to the release of A. Q. Khan, Pakistan’s top nuclear scientist, who is believed to be the person to have delivered nuclear bomb technology to Iran and North Korea;

· He intends to eliminate our anti-ballistic missile defense program;

In the paperback version of “The Audacity of Hope,” in the chapter entitled “Faith,” beginning on page 195, and ending on page 208, Obama tells us that he doesn’t really have any profound religious belief, but that in his early Chicago days he felt he needed to acquire some spiritual “street cred.”
