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

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:
Tags: bow, bowing, Conservapedia, G20, King Abdullah, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, London, Obama, Saudi Arabia, videoAli 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.
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.
THE PRESIDENT MOST DEFINITELY, AND I MEAN DEFINITELY BOWED!!
So he bowed!!! My Grandsons stand when I enter a room. That is a sign of respect when you greet each other. It doesn’t mean they are going to do anything I say. Get over it!!!
hey abdullah…. thanks a bunch for that $157 a barrell oil….
It got me the presidency …now what can I do for you
He should have known what to do…
My suspicions befor the election that he may be Muslim are slowly but surely being confirmed.
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?
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…..
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!
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
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.
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????
Yes, Maureen. Please don’t hate evil. Please don’t hate that which is wrong. Hate those who hate!!!!!
“The Hand of providence has been so conspicuous in all this, that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more than wicked, that has not gratitude enough to acknowledge his obligations. … The blessed Religion revealed in the word of God will remain an eternal and awful monument to prove that the best Institution may be abused by human depravity. … It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favors.” –George Washington
He should have turned around and bowed. That’s the way I like it uhuh uhuh!
Obama is a corrupt muslim chicago politician who is now in the White House only because of the slanted yellow journalists who love him for some unknown reason. CNN “the communist network news” should take notes from FOX news, who tells it straight. Stupid begets stupid.
This is to Rich who wonders what difference it makes whether or not the Obamanation is a Muslim.
It would make no difference at all if Obamanation had said he was a Muslim when he started his run for the Presidency and had won. It makes a difference that 90% of the things [he] says is a lie. You and I both know that had he stated he was a Muslim he would not be President today.
This flim flam dimwit has locked all his records birth, schooling, loans etc. So we know nothing about him and yet a bunch of brain dead voters bought into his line…and elected him. It is only going to get worse people.
not only did premier loloboy kick out his right leg to bow low enough, he kissed abdullah’s hand. note the reaction from the asian dude watching from the top, he is flabbergasted at premier loloboy’s muslim to muslim greeting. lefties will deny this, which is how they now deal with every lolomistake: it never happened.
Maureen, we as Americans do not have to stand behind any president who bows to any other world leader. Protestant and Catholic presidents have never bowed to any world leader. Our loyalty is pledged to the Constitution of the United States not anyone who holds any office. Those who hold the office of president also swear to uphold and defend the Constitution. He was totally out of line and does not deserve to represent this great nation.
Vic Mackey Here,This is what you get where you Obama Lovers elected this Joker to the Highest office of the land.He is going to be the down fall of this nation,he will act nice and all his first term,he will get elected again and in the 3rd year of his second term he will turn out to be real evil and be the Anti-Christ.Watch out World and the USA,Obama wants to do away with the dollar and he wants ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.. The masses love him,just like the masses will love the Anti-Christ. He had to bow down to the king because all Muslims “Must” bow down to their king,and all the Obama lovers will say things like,”Oh, he was just being Nice”. Our past leaders would rather die then bow down to to a king.That is why we fought England.The USA does NOT bow down to anyone..Only GOD.
Bow, curtsy, whatever. It was not appropriate. Might as well have kissed his — for all I care. This guy is an idiot and probably felt right at home with his Muslim buddies. Probably was overwhelmed with pride.
Vic Mackey: Thank you for your thoughtful words. You, as one of millions, can at least see what this man is doing to our country. If there were more people that could see through that fake grin of his and his eloguent “WORDS” they could see the real liar for what he is. He is HE** bent on giving our country over to the Muslim world because that is what he is. If our citizens do not wake up to that fact, we will no longer be the United states, but a socialist country who has NO SAY in what we want because HE will tell us what HE wants and we have no choice. He has claimed he is not a Muslim, why doesn’s he stop acting like one?
Let me see if I got this straight:
He attends Christian churches, forbidden for devout Muslims
He does not pray five times a day, bowing toward Mecca, one of Islam’s “five pillars”
I have never heard of his refusing to eat pork, which is forbidden to Muslims.
He has not made the “hajj”, another pillar of Islam.
He is not observed fasting during Ramadan (another of Islam’s five pillars).
BUT!!
He apparently bows toward a Saudi king
(and not, as the conservatives say, toward “older muslim men” of whom there are countless, toward whom he does NOT bow, rendering this questionable assertion irrelevant).
And people say: “aHAAA!!! He IS a Muslim!!”
I’m going to pay the “compliment”, such as it is, of concluding that such people are not really that stupid, but just closet racists.
The problem here in not what religion the president is. The problem is that he cannot or will not tell the truth on ANY subject. His religion is just the latest in a string of lies, deceits and untruths that have sheathed his administration. Try this one on for size. The framers of our Constitution were looking for a living document that would place limits on our government so that the excesses and abuses visited upon the colonists would never again happen. We now have a man in the White House who believes that the Constitution needs to be re-vamped so that it would include entitlements. And he’s not the only one. Biden, Pelosi et. al. are all in concert with their beloved leader. The veracity that once clothed the Presidency of thew United States has taken a nose dive. Unfortunately, we, as a people and a nation, can only register our complaints at election time. By then it may be too late.
Good Going Tom S..And Thank you for your kind reply Dandee.
Mr. Smith, you obviously didn’t go to Washington [facete]. Don’t be so naive. Muslims who are attempting to perform acts of espionage and other acts of subterfuge, are expected to blend in with non-Muslim surroundings in order to deflect suspicion away from their religious roots. In this manner, you might see a Muslim attending a discotheque and drinking and carousing with women, just as one of the Lebanese hi-jackers of 911 did.

When has showing respect become a weakness? It is a display of strength, a display of intelligence, a display of openness, and a display of willingness to empathise. You have to have respect, intelligence,openness, empathy to open the lines of complete and thorough communication. Body language is equally important in the setting of good communication. You do realize we live in a huge world that contains several human beings with different customs. It is polite to respect someone elses customs when you are in their home. This is as simple as taking off your shoes in Grandma’s house. It is simply respectful to do so. Honestly, if you puffed up your chest disrespected and refused Grandma. What would that really prove? Grandma would probably consider you a disrespectful little brat. I use this as an example because it is something that has to do with, respect, a value that we are taught in our youth. These values are taught for a reason and should continue within our adult lives. That includes adult situations such as visiting a foreign leader in another country. Oh, this also could be speculated as Christian influenced behavior as well as behavior taught within other Religious groups. Remember hand shaking, bowing, eye contact etc. are all forms of body language we learn as values in our childhood that carry on through are adult lives. Depending on where you grew up the interpretations vary. It is a valuable tool in structuring good relationships between people and when you are in their home emphasis should respectfully be put towards their customs and interpretations of good body language. They should equally respect and put emphasis on our customs and interpretations of good body language when they are visiting our home. By Obama showing respect towards other countries values, shows me he is being a respectful leader wanting to open the lines of communication between other countries. Be it an ally or an enemy we have to have respectful open lines of communication. This will help establish and gain a better understanding of what we are dealing with. “You have to give respect to gain respect. “
Does anyone know what a “Bill of Attainder” is? Our Constitution provides for protection from such legislation. Neither individuals or a group will be singled out for penalty without due process taking place. Article I, Section 9, paragraph 3 of the Constitutuon (In case you were wondering, the first 10 Articles of the Constitution are known as the BILL OF RIGHTS. They protect the basic freedoms of EVERY American citizen from GOVERNMENT EXCESSES) provides that: “No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law will be passed.” Having said all that, let’s look at AIG. Yes, they were arrogant and in my own mind, rather stupid to have doled out the bonuses that they handed out but where was congress going when they declared that they would tax those bonuses at 90%. Remember the BILL OF RIGHTS protects all of us and the AIG executives are included in ALL OF US. The basic problem here is if the door is opened and no one does anything about it then what is to prevent the government from levying an additional taxes on blond haired, blue eyed people? The argument put forth is that the government gave bailout money to AIG. Yes they did but the entire stimulus package (about 1000 pages) was rushed through congress so fast that no one really challenged the Constitutionality of the deal, not to mention that no one, not even the president, read the bill. BUT THEY SIGNED IT!! I certaintly didn’t read it but I’m smart enough to know that before I put my signature on any document I want to know what I am signing. (REMEMBER THE CHRIS DODD FIASCO?) If the government wanted to go after AIG then they should have done so in court. You don’t hear anything about that 90% tax anymore, do you? It’s not because AIG agreed to pull back the bonus package. It’s because someone in the administration woke up and realized that what was about to happen was in direct opposition to the Constitution, and not just some obscure Article, Section or Paragraph but contrary to the BILL OF RIGHTS! The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, was all for the 90% tax. That is until someone quietly told her that it can’t be done. If I remember correctly, in the event the president is diabled or dies then the vice-president (another burned out bulb) ascends to office. In the event of his demise the Speaker of the House (never plugged in) becomes the president. For some insane reason I was under the impression that you had to have some concept of what the Constitution represents and what it protects. We have three, count em’, THREE, elected officials, a sitting president, his vice president and the Speaker of the House, all, either in office or with direct lineage to the highest office in the land, who haven’t the faintest idea that we do have a CONSTITUTION and it cannot be triffled with. It’s about time they were held accountable for what has taken place.
Why did I have to dig to find pictures? Granted, I have not bothered with network news for years…, but this is a HUGE blunder. And the MSM is STILL flying cover. We are so screwed if we don’t get a little fourth estate protection from this hack.
To all you American nitwits who think the whole world thinks like you: in the Arab world, this is HUGE. This is the same thing as saying, “everything I own is at your disposal”, and the office if President is perceived as the equivalent of a monarch–who in effect owns his subjects.
In other words, HE JUST ACCIDENTALLY GAVE YOU TO THE SAUDI KING!!
Please stop embarrasing us all by claiming it was a triffling show of MUTUAL respect. It very obviously was not, and it will not be views as such by the ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST. Obama’s foreign policy will be permanently affected. I guarantee he has just strenghtened the position of the conservatives in Isreal. He’d have been smarter to claim that was his intent!
Well, after all its just another LIE. Obamboo has told over 3,666 lies thus far.. Nothing for a politician.. And you sheepsters who follow close enough behind him to get your new civilian army corp name, “Brown Shirts for Obama” ?.. Well you know..
Tom S says: We should give respect in order to receive respect. IMO that goes only so far. Would you have bowed to Osama or any other person that has done the things he has done? I do not think anyone in OUR country should bow to any person who is a dictator. Now if we have a dictator, I will NOT bow to him either.
I have seen other videos of this incident and it is NO doubt in my mind as to why Obamaman bowed, he wanted that man to know he is WITH the Muslims.
At last a president of the united states of america kneeling before The House of Saud and Mecca. All the terrorist of 911 were Saudis and the women,children,men,mothers,fathers,husbands,wifes,infacts can rest in peace in their graves below the WTC knowing Obama has asked for Forgivness from the keeper of the Islamic holiest site,Mecca. The evil empire has finally knelt down before ISLAM.
LINDA #29: YOU GOT IT RIGHT!
HOW CAN SO MANY OF OUR FELLOW AMERICANS BE SO FREAKIN’ BLIND AND STUPID NOT TO SEE WHAT’S GOING ON?
ANSWER: GOOGLR SOME RECENT POLLING DATA RE AMERICAN’S VIEWS ON CAPITALISM VS SOCIALISM. YOU WILL LOSE MORE THAN ONE NIGHT’S SLEEP, COMRADE. BY HIJACKING THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM THE LEFT HAS RAISED AT LEAST ONE ENTIRE GENERATION OF UNREAD, UNTAUGHT, UNTHINKING, ENTITLED PC IDIOTS WHOSE BIGGEST FEAR IS GLOBAL WARMING. GOD HELP US!
DAN
WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR ALL THESE SOCIALISM FREAKS TO WAKE UP TO THE FACT THAT WE ARE LOSING OUR FREEDOMS AS I WRITE? I know you could not have missed his royal axx, since he is on your TV each and everyday. Also, he is telling you what He is going to do and you still don’t listen. Please take the EAR BUDS OUT of your ears and listen. If you don’t OUR country is going to end up just like his country. I do hope you know which one that is!!
Liechtenstein?
OK, I think I see, now:
Like the 9/11 hijacker(s) who attended (one time? two times?) corrupt western entertainments immediately prior to their suicide flights …
Nevermind that NO ONE has said they violated the very “pillars” of their faith, so much as once..
Obama has NEVER been known to observe ANY Muslim rituals, which are largely pretty outward and easy to spot, especially for a US president or candidate, whose entire lives are under a microscope..
Why? because he’s the GREATEST MUSLIM MOLE IN HISTORY!! DUH!!
EXCEPT ONE THING!! He risks blowing YEARS of his entire cover, because must BOW to the Saudi King!!
(funny… I don’t remember anything about bowing to Saudi kings in the Koran… huh…oh! sorry, I was almost distracted from THE TRUTH, by a logical thought…so, like I was saying..)
Y’know, I think I finally get it now.
All these explanations of why Obama is REALLy a Muslim, are a LOT like explaining how it is that Santa Claus can deliver toys to every deserving child in the (Christian) world in a single night in an open sleigh pulled by flying reindeer.
I believed it, too, when I was five.
