In the comment section of my previous post, Has Not God Made Foolish the Wisdom of the World, I had a brief conversation with my blogging friend Steve.

UPDATE 2/18/15 at 6:54 pm PT:
Lady Raven left a comment over at Steve’s Cry and Howl blog and shared the link to the original Daily Mail article and photo about last August’s U.S./ African Leader Summit in Washington D.C.:
You will notice that the author wrote the following regarding 0Zero’s hand gesture:
“Finger wagging: President Barack Obama, front row third from left, points his finger upwards as he arrives for the official family photo at the US African Leaders Summit at the State Department in Washington.”
.
Yep…they didn’t know what that “finger gesture” REALLY meant!

Christine, there’s no doubt Obama is a stark raving Muslim. We just stay in denial.

Steve,
A commentator on Fox News helped to possibly “explain” why 0Zero sides with Iran (and wants to make a nuclear deal with them) while stating that IS/ISIS/ISIL is not really “Islamic.” The man claimed that 0Zero believes in the Shite side of Islam. Therefore, he rejects the Sunni side. The interview was on The Kelly File. I searched the Fox website for the video clip, but didn’t find it there. I do recall Megyn Kelly saying – at the end of the conversation – “well, that would explain a lot.”
Will search at You tube for the clip. Hopefully, it will be there.

I’ve suspected that all along Christine. It has been more than obvious that Obama is Shite. Check out the new post. It will be up in a few minutes.
So, I went to Steve’s blog at Cry and Howl.
Barack and the Muslim Gang Sign
Steve shared this photo and brief commentary from the American Thinker original post:
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.

Once I read the entire post over at American Thinker I literally felt sick to my stomach! I had just finished my coffee this morning and was about to have some breakfast, but my queasy feeling in my stomach won’t allow me to do so.
Go to American Thinker: Obama and the Muslim Gang Sign and read this stunning article!!!
The author states that 0Zero may have done this, “as a joke,” but with the way he is NOT handling the increasingly worldwide Islamic terrorist threat, as well as the list of pro-Muslim actions posted in my previous blog post, can anyone possibly believe that it was a joke? I certainly don’t!!!
Apparently, the Muslims there approved of 0Zero’s “sign.”
The Daily Mail editors did not understand what they were looking at. They captioned it “finger wagging” by Obama. But the African dignitaries understood, and a range of reactions can be detected among the ones who observed the gesture: amusement, surprise, curiosity, disapproval, contempt. Note the reactions of Abdelilah Berkirane, the prime minister of Morroco pictured just behind Obama’s left shoulder, and Ibrahim Boubacas Keita, the president of Mali in white garb and hat. They are Muslims through and through, and they are all smiles. They knew what Obama’s upright forefinger meant.
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!”
Gnassingbe’s country is squeezed between Benin and the Ivory Coast and is not far from Nigeria and its Boko Haram plague — perhaps a two-hour flight in a slow Cessna from Togo’s capital to the Nigerian capital, less than an hour in something faster. At the time of the Washington conference, Boko Haram’s leader Abubakar Shekau had just declared Borno State in northeastern Nigeria as the seat of his caliphate. Massacres of entire villages were taking place; only a few months earlier nearly three hundred girls were abducted from a Borno secondary school.
Togo has seven million people, 50 percent animists, 30 percent Christian. The remainder are Muslims, part of the umma. Gnassingbe and all other non-Muslims of Togo have reason to worry about radicalization of some of these members of the transtribal supertribe of Muhammad who reside among them. And so his look of disdain. “You gotta be kidding.”
TRULY AWFUL!!!
GOD HELP US MAKE IT THROUGH THE REST OF THIS ISLAMIC CREEP’S pResidency!

Yes. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is in control.
“Kind of Hoping to miss all this…”
While I completely understand the sentiment you express, I’d ask where’s your sense of Holy Adventure? The destruction of the Prince of the Power of the Air will of necessity mean the obliteration of this old sinful world. Sin’s Power must be burned and completely consumed. I take that to mean that everything tainted with it (meaning – everything there presently is) must be burned. 2 Peter 3:10 comes to mind. Even old John, in Revelation 22:20 had the courage to say: “He which testifieth these things sayeth, surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus.”
Max, I say this is an outstanding, fantastic time in which to live. The darker the earth gets, the better Heaven looks. Let’s not get wrapped up in the destruction and forget to focus on the New Heaven and the New Earth. God is GOOD. Every single minute

If you’ve accepted Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for your sins, and believe that he rose on the third day, conquering death, you don’t have to fear Gods’ coming wrath. The coming Day of the Lord is for those who have rejected his son, Jesus. We all still struggle with our sinful nature while here in this flesh but Jesus died for our sins: past, present and future. God sees not us as we are but He sees us clothed in Jesus’ righteousness. May God give you comfort and peace today and always.
Amen!!!
