)he Asso!iated Press took this astonishing photo

as the Afri!an dignitaries *oined Obama, who hosted the e+ent, in a State $epartment auditorium for a

the photo.

)he onefinger displa is the distin!ti+e Muslim gang sign- )he inde finger points straight up while the

thumb wraps underneath and presses against the digital phalange of the middle finger. )he remaining

fingers are s/uee(ed against the palm in order to highlight the etended forefinger. )he etended finger

is smboli! of the one0od !on!ept of Muhammad and is understood b all belie+ers to be a

smboli! shahada, the Muslim affirmation of faith- )here is but one 0od and Muhammad is his

messenger.

)hus when belie+ers sti!k their inde finger in the air, the demonstrate the are partisans of

Muhammad’s 0od !on!ept. And the also affirm their belief in Muhammad’s !laim he was the

interfa!e between 0od and man. )he also demonstrate the are part of the umma, the e!lusi+e

transtribal supertribe of belie+ers that Muhammad started 1,233 ears ago.

%S%S fighter dis&la's the gang sign$ (o Muslims) the e*tended forefinger is s'mbolic of the fundamental belief of %slam+ (here is but one ,od and Muhammad is his messenger$

)he $ail Mail editors did not understand what the were looking at. )he !aptioned it 4finger

wagging5 b Obama. &ut the Afri!an dignitaries understood, and a range of rea!tions !an be dete!ted

among the ones who obser+ed the gesture- amusement, surprise, !uriosit, disappro+al, !ontempt. 6ote

the rea!tions of Abdelilah &erkirane, the prime minister of Morro!o pi!tured *ust behind Obama’s left

shoulder, and Ibrahim &ouba!as 7eita, the president of Mali in white garb and hat. )he are Muslims

through and through, and the are all smiles. )he knew what Obama’s upright forefinger meant.

)he rea!tion of )ogo president 8aure 0nassingbe, at the top row se!ond to the left, is less appro+ing.

)hrough his fa!e ou !an read the mind of this Sorbonne and 0eorge #ashington Uni+ersit edu!ated

leader. 'is mind is s!reaming, 49ou gotta be kidding:5

0nassingbe’s !ountr is s/uee(ed between &enin and the I+or %oast and is not far from 6igeria and its

&oko 'aram plague perhaps a twohour flight in a slow %essna from )ogo’s !apital to the 6igerian

!apital, less than an hour in something faster. At the time of the #ashington !onferen!e, &oko 'aram’s

leader Abubakar Shekau had *ust de!lared &orno State in northeastern 6igeria as the seat of his

!aliphate. Massa!res of entire +illages were taking pla!e; onl a few months earlier nearl three

Mabe it was Obama’s idea of a *oke, but that is unlikel. )he

finger in the air was a position statement bra(enl stated. 'is entire administration has been a

promotion of Islam at home and abroad, and *ust !ataloging the e+iden!e would fill a book. 'e has

made this !ountr !o( for Islam, from ordering 6ASA to make Muslims feel good about themsel+es to

!alling ISIS beheading +i!tim Peter 7assig b the Muslim name that he had adopted in the +ain hope of

sa+ing his life.

If onl Obama’s !o(iness were limited to su!h gestures, but from the +er beginning of his

administration, he labored to topple the strongman go+ernments that had kept a lid on Islami!

etremism- )unisia, >gpt, "iba, 9emen. O+erthrowing the Srian go+ernment was also part the

program, not et a!hie+ed but still possible. )he methodolog of ea!h was a ta!ti! from olds!hool

radi!alism- stir up domesti! trouble that triggers a !ra!kdown, then use the rea!tion to dis!redit thego+ernment and as a pretet for stirring up greater !!les of trouble until the targeted regime is

repla!ed.

Obama is !omfortable with Islam’s etreme. 'e arms su!h people throughout the Middle >ast. 'e has

let them into our go+ernment. 'e supported the Muslim &rotherhood’s Muhammad Morsi as the

repla!ement for 'osni Mubarak, a staun!h US all and enem of the Muslim &rotherhood, and

threatened and bullied >gpt when a massi+e re+olt repla!ed Morsi with a religious moderate.

)he thread of all of these efforts was the reestablishment of the Islami! !aliphate, the line of su!!essors

of Muhammad that ended nearl a !entur ago with the !ollapse of the Ottoman >mpire. )his has

alwas been a Muslim &rotherhood ob*e!ti+e. In their grandiose plans, the reestablished !aliphate

would stret!h a!ross the Middle >ast with erusalem as its !apital. )he glor of Islam resurre!ted: )hese people aspire to world domination, and the !aliphate would ser+e as the base for an e+er

epanding war on the world until domination is a!hie+ed. )hat was alwas the goal of their role model.

Muhammad ordered his followers to make Islam the only religion to !reate a uni+ersal umma. As

with Obama, the are *ust following orders.

)he !aliphate was resurre!ted last ear, onl it is not in the hands of the Muslim &rotherhood not et

anwa. 'owe+er it !ame about, the !aliphate was Obama’s !reation, and he has onl halfheartedl

pushed ba!k against it. 6ow he has asked the U.S. %ongress for authori(ation for use of militar for!e

against what he !reated. #hat is Obama up to with this? In e+erthing he does, mis!hief is the purpose.

#hat mis!hief does he intend now?

)here is nothing in Obama’s head that is Ameri!an. 'e is an antitheti!al Ameri!an, a polar opposite of

its +alues that he is routinel undermining. 'e is an unabashed member of the transtribal supertribe

that Muhammad !reated 1,233 ears ago; he is of the umma, not of Ameri!a. 'is finger in the air at the

Afri!an "eaders’ %onferen!e is unambiguous e+iden!e.

And it is e+iden!e that ou ha+e been had Ameri!a. 0od, ha+e ou e+er been had.
