Excerpt:
Barack Obama aroused controversy over his affinity with Islam yet again in February 2015, when a photo surfaced from the U.S.-African Leaders' Summit in August 2014, showing Obama passing by a group of African delegates with his right index finger raised in a gesture strongly reminiscent of the Islamic State's now notorious one-finger salute.
For the Islamic State and other Muslims, this gesture signifies allegiance to Islam's absolute monotheism. Whatever Obama may have meant by it, the revelation that he had made the gesture — coming so soon after his renewed refusal at his "Countering Violent Extremism" summit to identify Islamic jihadists as Islamic — raised new questions about Obama's relationship with Islam. Why won't Obama identify Islam as having anything to do with the jihadis, when they themselves consistently explain and justify their actions solely in Islamic terms? Why won't he do anything about mosques in the U.S. with ties to jihad terror? Why does he coddle the Muslim Brotherhood? Why, in sum, does he seem to love Islam so much, even if he isn't a practicing Muslim?
