Obama 'Bowing Down' to Saudi King? But Conservapedia Fails To Deliver.

Latest Post: Video Alert - Obama Does Not Bow to Saudi King

Related Post: Obama Bows Down to Saudi King! The Controversy Continues

During Thursday’s meeting of the most developed economies in London, President Obama bowed before King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. While some, on blogs and radio discussions, were making fun of the President by suggesting that he was about to clean the floor, others added that it was unacceptable for Americans who are proud of their revolutionary past to see their President bowing down in front of a dictator.

Might President Obama have kissed King Abdullah’s hands? Why not? The only visual source, unfortunately, does not give a clear point of view. However, one thing we do know is that a younger Muslim always shows utmost respect to an older Muslim in public and is expected to kiss the latter’s hands. Hmm, we should think more about it…

And now, it is time for Conservapedia to take some action. As we have been keeping a curious eye on Conservapedia it was, to be honest with you, upsetting not to see this included as additional ‘proof’ of Obama’s ‘Muslim’ faith! Now, they have a new point to argue for…

LATEST UPDATE: Obama Bows Down to Saudi King! The Controversy Continues:
Ali did get the Internet, or at least the right-thinking portion of it, moving.

His challenge, “It is time for Conservapedia to take some action,” has been met. Our favourite on-line encyclopedia has updated its entry for Barack Hussein Obama, “Never before in the history of the U.S. has a president displayed such shocking deference to a foreign official.”

tell the lie until it becomes the truth
I didn't vote for him, and it's obvious those who did will defend their ideological beliefs right up to the end...
I don't know what scares me more, the fact that this patronizing, apologetic, pathetic excuse for a man was able to fool 53 % of the population with his propaganda machine, or that there are a ton of folks out there that wil give him their seat on the lifeboat - You can bet when the ship goes down, YOU will be the one to ride it to the bottom...

With what i saw in the video,I love Obama but he should not have bowed down to any president or King or whatever upon the surface of the earth.Come on, US president? No way.

There is no small or Great King,King is King. I have seen him on many occasion parting people on the back,not bowing down.I still prefer what Michelle did to the Queen to Obama bowing down.Too much excitement. We deserve an apology from his office. Period.

April 9, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterA David Toba

How about if they both bowed to each other? That would be the ultimate sign of respect regardless of who has more money, atomic bombs, destroyers or whatever. Where does the sense that we are the chosen society come from? We are all one. An apology from the office for showing respect? C'mon! Whatever that society calls for (bowing, kissing, shaking hands or even passing gas) as protocol, ANY United States President should follow that protocal and should expect the same in return from ANY world leader.

everything this man said in his run for president has been shown to be a lie! the people that voted for him should as americans start taking off the rose colores glasses, my God what will it take for these so called americans to believe what they see and here? my opiniion is that obama should be impeached! he has no idea how to be president of the United States of America.i can just see all them muslim countries rubbing their hands in glee waiting for his highness to give them the ok to come and take over!!!

I love you Obama, but please make sure that bowing thing never happens again.

My suspicions befor the election that he may be Muslim are slowly but surely being confirmed.

April 9, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterPat Toth

Obama bowed and it is as simple as the evidence. You also do not see it on regular media. Why is it wrong. Protocol is in order and it is proof that he was catering to the Muslim world over his own country and that his heart betrayed him in his actions as it did with England and France which were AGAIN actions of him to appeal to the Muslim world. No one talks about his acknowledgment that he gave his cousin over a MILLION dollars to support his attempt to become ruler in his hometown in Kenya, who is a practicing Muslim and believes in Shira law. What is wrong with this country when the truth is hid and even when it is revealed is it trivialized or excused when it has to do with Obama... The public might be fooled and the politicians quiet but I have feeling that the politicians are wondering... what in the world did we do?

April 9, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterC wilso

that was so much more than a bow.... oh my word!......That was HUGE... no president has EVER done such a thing, and he should so be inpeached.....

April 9, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterC wilso

oh my god! why would our president of the great united states of america bow down to a saudi leader?? i voted for this man, please apologize or at least give us a reason as to why you felt the need to bow down for gods sake!!!!! i didnt see any of the other world leaders showing a BOW. worried in maryland!!

THE PHRASE "WE GET THE GOVERNMENT WE DESERVE" KEEPS RINGING IN MY EARS. HOPEFULLY, THE BECKYS AND THE KUMBAYAH JIMS MIGHT SOMEDAY WAKE UP AND FINALLY REALIZE THEY WERE DUPED BY THIS POSER AND THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA. OBAMA SHOULD NOT BE THE ONE APOLOGIZING - HE IS DELIVERING ON ALL THAT HE PROMISED: A SWITCH TO SOCIALISM, WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION, BIG GOVERNMENT, AND HIGHER TAXES. IT IS THE BECKYS AND THE JIMS WHO SHOULD BE APOLOGIZING TO THE REST OF THIS COUNTRY, YES THE BEST AND MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY ON THIS PLANET, FOR VOTING THIS LEFTIST INTO OFFICE. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Obama did NOT bow to the Queen of England, and yet he bowed and kissed the hand of the Saudi King? It is sooo obvious that he kissed his hand because he bowed so low. Same thing as kissing the Popes Ring, some people kneel and kiss his hand and some lean down low to Kiss the ring. It looks like Obama Bowed and Kissed this Guys ring out of Elder respect. ( Muslim Custom)
Watch the Kings hands closely in the Video before Obama arrives.
It appears that our President is a Muslim as well as a Christian!
Fancy that?

There is a phrase that rings true here. "Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it" Unfortunately for us the history we are doomed to repeat has all to do with Neville Chamberlain and nothing to do with the United States. APPEASE, APPEASE, APPEASE. The president of the greatest country on earth is bowing to the Saudi King. To what end? Does he think his antics will bring down the price of oil or is it really a sign of respect given to a Muslim from a Muslim? We still don't have an answer on the question of our president's religion. Add this to the fact that our answer to North Korea's launch is that we'll go to the UN and discuss the launch leads me to believe that history is indeed repeating itself. While we sit in the UN discussing what North Korea did, they are laughing all the way to the missle site, getting ready to try it again. Practice makes perfect. Sooner or later we'll have to face the fact that North Korea has delivery capability to the U.S. What will we do then? Oh yeah, we'll go to the UN and discuss the problem, right after we bow a few more time to some other world leader.

The President of the United State is the world leader and he bows to no other country leader muslim or non-muslim PEROID. What that incident showed, was a timid man that has no idea what the authority and power the office of the President of the United State commands. I am not saying he should be arrogant, but bold and sure of him self. What will he do when he meets the Shar of Iran, kneel down and kiss his feet? Come on Obama, you are the freaking Leader of the world act like it!

April 9, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSonny

Out of curiosity, why would it matter if Obama were a Muslim? Don't you guys come from a great melting pot of a country, where freedom of worship is guaranteed to you? And isn't everyone supposed to be an equal, regardless of race, religion or creed?

How can you all so contentedly profess to believe one thing while obviously holding completely opposite values? In my opinion a lot of Americans, but by no means all, are a bunch of hypocritical, prejudiced and backward people who manage to claim to believe one thing while doing exactly the opposite. Orwell anyone? Then there's the serious superiority complex, which is maybe the most worrying trait of the American psyche. You are no better or worse than any other human beings, and yet you value yourselves so highly.

If the 9/11 thing is why you're desperate for the man not to be Muslim (he's not, by the way), then why aren't you all scaremongering about his supposed Christian beliefs, given that a tiny minority of Christian extremists espouse violent, terrorist beliefs and have burned and bombed countless innocent people? The vast majority of Muslims are peace-loving people, as are Christians. A small minority gets a load of press and you group an entire bunch of people, despite supposedly believing in equality of the individual.

The people of the United States are singly the most worrying group of people on this planet.

If he did bow it was a mistake on his part but from what I saw you couldn't really tell what was going on. There was a guy there blocking the view of the camera.

Thank you Rich #18. At least someone on this site has some intelligence. Obama is our President and we as Americans have a duty to stand behind him especially in this trying times. We must pull together and get through this truly hate filled time

RICH- WOULD YOU PLEASE NAME THE GROUP OF CHRISTIAN EXTREMISTS WHO ALLEGEDLY ESPOUSE VIOLENCE AND WHO HAVE BOMBED AND BURNED SO MANY PEOPLE? I FOLLOW THE NEWS QUITE CLOSELY AND I MUST CONFESS I HAVENT HEARD OF THIS RADICAL SECT OF CHRISTIANS.
THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES HAVE SAVED THIS PLANET, INLUDING YOU SMUG, THANKLESS EUROS, FROM NAZISM, COMMUNISM, AMONGST OTHER THREATS.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF MUSLIMS MAY BE PEACE LOVING PEOPLE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NOT HEARD ANY OF THEM DENOUNCING THE TERRORIST ACTS OF THEIR RADICAL, MURDEROUS BRETHERN.
HAVE YOU?

WHO CARES HE IS OUR PRESIDENT WHO WENT TO ANOTHER COUNTRY WHO HAPPENS TO HAVE A 'KING' PEOPLE BOW TO KINGS EVERYDAY WE WANT PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES TO RESPECT OUR WAY OF LIFE WHY SHOULDNT HE RESPECT THEIRS

April 9, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterchristine

Rich, you are typical of a socialist mindset. The man BOWED, and you are a liar for failing to acknowledge it, and to claim the opposite. But that is not to be a surprise. Obama is a liar, so why shouldn't his supporters lie for him as well?

It matters that Obama is a Muslim, because his sympathies do not lie with America, but with MUSLIM COUNTRIES. And so, naturally, the conspiracy hounds continue to find fodder for their claim that Obama is not a natural-born citizen.

America IS a Christian nation. It is NOT a secular nation. It is fast becoming a secular nation because not enough people are willing to stand against the tide of immorality that is sweeping our nation.

Pray Christians! Act Christians! Stand up Christians! Soon there will be no time to do that.

April 9, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermark

LOL Christine, people from another country DO NOT bow to kings of another country. The problem with people like you and Rich is that you have no knowledge of our history. Read the Declaration of Independence. In that you will find very strong language against the King of England, and our refusal to bow down to his demands. Bowing down to a king is a symbolic gesture that we respect ALL of his actions. Western culture adheres to a different standard of respect, which places ALL MEN AS EQUALS. Americans don't AND WON'T allow any king to rule over us. We rejected that in the Revolutionary War. Do you think we will return to that time????
