From Sheppard Smith


"If you check President Obama's last trip overseas, his wife left just after their visit to France. She has yet to accompany him to any Arab country. Think about it. Why is Michelle returning to the states when 'official' trips to foreign countries generally include the First Lady."

Here's one thought on the matter.

While in a Blockbuster renting videos I came across a video called "Obama". There were two men standing next to me and we talked about President Obama.
These guys were Arabs, so I asked them why they thought Michele Obama headed home following the President's recent visit to France instead of traveling
On to Saudi Arabia and Turkey with her husband. They told me she could not go to Saudi Arabia , Turkey or Iraq . I said "Why not,(?) Laura Bush went to Saudi Arabia , Turkey and Dubai ." They said that Obama is a Muslim and therefore he is not allowed to bring his wife into countries that adhere to Sharia Law. Two points of interest here:


1) I thought it interesting that two American Arabs at Blockbuster believe that our President is a Muslim,

2) who follows a strict Islamic creed.
They also said that's the reason he bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia. It was a signal to the Muslim world, Acknowledging his religion.

For further consideration, here is a response from Dr. Jim Murk, a Middle Eastern Scholar and expert on Islam. This is his explanation of what the Arab American's were saying.

"An orthodox Muslim man would never take his wife on a politically oriented trip to any nation which practices Sharia law, particularly Saudi Arabia where the Wahhabi sect is dominant.

This is true and it is why Obama left Michelle in Europe She will stay home when he visits Arab countries. He knows Muslim protocol; this includes, bowing to the Saudi King. Obama is regarded as a Muslim in the Arab world, because he was born to a Muslim father; he acknowledged his Muslim faith with George Stephanopoulus. Note that he downplays his involvement with Christianity, by not publicly joining a Christian church in D.C. And occasionally attending the chapel for services at Camp David.

He also played down the fact that America is a Christian country and said, unbelievably, that it was one of the largest Muslim nations in the world, which is nonsense.

He has publicly taken the side of the Palestinians in the conflict with Israel and he ignored the National Day of Prayer, something no other President has ever done.

He is bad news! He conceals his true faith to the detriment of the American people."

More puzzlement's.

ACTIONS speak louder than words. Another interesting item regarding Sharia Law. Why has Barack Hussein Obama insisted that the U.S. Attorney General hold the trials of the 911 Muslim Terrorists in Civilian Courts as Common Criminals instead of as Terrorists who attacked the United States of America ? If the Muslim Terrorists are tried in Military Tribunals, convicted and sentenced to death, by LAW, Barack Hussein Obama, as President of the United States, would be required to sign their Death Warrants. He would not be required to sign the death warrants if they are sentenced to death by a Civilian Court…

Recently, Muslim Jihadist, Army Major Hassan slaughtered non-Muslim, soldiers at Ft. Hood, Texas rather than go to Afghanistan and be a part of anything that could lead to the deaths of fellow Muslims. He stated that Muslims ‘could not and should not kill fellow Muslims.’ Is the motive for Barack Hussein Obama’s insistence on civilian trials, to make sure he doesn’t have to sign the death warrants for the Muslim Terrorists? Why would he, as President of the United States, not sign the death warrants for Muslim Terrorists who attacked the United States and murdered over 3,000 U. S. Citizens on 9/11? Could it be that he is FORBIDDEN by his RELIGION to authorize the execution of Muslims?

Think about that! Open your eyes, ears and mind to who the President is, how he behaves and what he is doing.

he can't hide it forever... what pisses me off is somebody up there knows, and is not telling... maybe they need more proof or something...

I don't believe that anyone holding the office of Presidency in the United States should bow to any foreign power...

He lost major points with me for that reason alone...

goes to show that americans of any faith can believe hogwash,,,

its a sign of respect, he gained points with me,


our customs dont apply everywhere else,,,

thats awesome, where do yall find those things,,,,

He can bow and scrape all he wants to, I reckon... I guess you don't see the irony of our Commander and Chief bowing to a foreign potentate, emperor or whatever since it's a sign of "respect". What? A handshake isn't a sign of respect in foreign countries?

Hmmm... Bowing to a slave owner... Nope, nothing wrong with that picture.
Bowing to the Emperor of Japan... Japan??? Excuse me, but weren't they the ones that claimed complete superiority over all other races and nations?
I'm sure the family members of those massacred at Pearl Harbor and the Philippines appreciate that one...
I had two uncles that sacrificed their lives fighting in the South Pacific...

Excuse my American ugliness but having the supposed leader of the free world even lowering his eyes to another "leader" makes me sick...

The Fort Hood hero to the muslims stated that Muslims ‘could not and should not kill fellow Muslims.’

Is the motive for Barack Hussein Obama’s insistence on civilian trials, to make sure he doesn’t have to sign the death warrants for the Muslim Terrorists?

What a bunch of HOGWASH! Why don't you look up how many predator strikes President Obama has authorized on muslim targets. He has killed plenty of muslims by his orders.

You know, he isn't a ceasar or king of an empire ,who "doesn't bow to anyone".

Funny how everyone else, other politicians, head of states, prime ministers around the entire world doing it, and did it all along.

they kill each other all the time, they've been warring for thousands of years. but still don't change the fact that obama is muslim.

Not enough.

actually, in MANY cultures even touching someones hand is seen as too intimate a gesture and a sign of disrespect

but to each their own, it kind of seems though like spanish speakers coming here and refusing to adapt to the english language,,,,which I disagree with

likewise, I disagree on some prideful refusal to respect the cultures of others homes when I am there,,,but thats just me,,,

If she continues to opt to not go to those countries it will be interesting. It might be a good idea if the first lady and her daughters specifically avoid countries which do not have a good record on women's rights. Such a "non-action" could be used as subtle message that they do not wish to spend time in societies which subjugate women.

On the other hand it could be coincidental. Or maybe it is not.

I dont recall many presidents wives travelling to middle eastern countries,,so its probably not coincidental but nothing to do with being muslim.

It is one way of telling the country you are visiting that you do not
trust them to keep your wife and daughters safe during your visit.

or that your wife would rather be home with your MINOR children,,,

Actually, it's Muslim law the woman not accompany on official business.

That's why they won't comment on it and MSM won't bring it up.
