Looks like there might be some Islamic significance to it. I can’t say, but the design does cause me to think it might be worthwhile to check it out further.

Ask and you shall receive. Good thing you didn't doubt me! Because when I say something here on FR, I mean it!

I said 60% and this source says 59%, I am sure you can excuse the rounding.

“Specifically, when researchers described the man as single, 59 percent of single women were interested in pursuing him. However, when they described the exact same man as being in a committed relationship, 90 percent of the single women were interested.”

Maybe they’re sizing it smaller. It may have been falling off his boney fingers.

Lost so much weight during Ramadan that the ring would slip off his finger.

I agree, but I haven’t been able to find anything yet.

MO, not at all. Muslims do not wear wedding rings.

Think about about it. If you have 5 wives, why would you need a wedding ring when you may be looking for number six?

***Lost so much weight during Ramadan that the ring would slip off his finger.***

One very brave reporter suggested that BO might have been so hungry from his Ramadan fast - that he ate it!!!!!

Thanks, I didn’t doubt you.

Also why Seinfeld humor was always so funny.

George at the apartment party pretending to be in a relationship (wearing a ring) and haing a bunch of gals wishing they could go out with him.

LAter on using man-hands picture of Jillian to ‘get into the forbidden city’ of gorgeous women (”It’s like I’ve already been there, I havea hall pass!”).

He’s looking rather gaunt these days. Perhaps the ring is being down-sized.

Thanks, I was unaware that Seinfeld had done a show on this phenomena.

That was a HUGE finding, from 59% to 90% is absolutely breathtaking!

So my point again, is that doffing the ring to go “on the prowl” is counterproductive. You just went from 90% of single women that find you attractive wanting you, to 59%!

Yes, Muslims do not wear wedding rings, and since females have no standing or rights in Islam, of course they would not have been invited.

Even if they were invited, they would have been required to sit separately as men and women do not sit together and do not mingle.

It is one thing to do this at a Muslim meeting, but when he carries on those practices on a normal basis, this would be at least an indication that he is a Muslim or favors Islamic practices.

Remember how much cajoling it took, to get him to wear the American flag lapel pin.

If someone were to list all the indications by mannerisms and action, incidental and overt, that Obama is a Muslim, the list would be in the hundreds.

I found this.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Do_Muslims_wear_wedding_rings

There are other articles with info regarding this. Some say you can, but NOT required.

nothing they do is by accident. Just another distraction, “look over there!”.

Yeah, after the fourth woman hit on him, George took the ring off and tried to convince them he wasn’t married. Needless to say they didn’t buy it.

The other one was after his fiancee died and he wanted to his ‘tragic’ story about his fiancee dying, but use a picture of Jerry’s current hot girlfriend to get other hot women to think he was worth going out with, seeing he had had such a pretty fiancee.

From an Islamic Q&A site:

“With regard to men wearing gold, whether it is a ring or anything else, it is not permissible under any circumstances, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade gold for the males of this ummah. He saw a man wearing a ring of gold and he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) took if from his hand and said, “Would any one of you take a coal from the fire and hold it in his hand?” (Narrated by Muslim, al-Libaas wa’l-Zeenah, 3897). So it is not permissible for the Muslim male to wear a gold ring. But with regard to rings of silver or any other kind of metal, it is permissible for men to wear them even if they are precious metals.

With regard to the wedding ring, which is worn on the occasion of marriage, this is not one of the customs of the Muslims. If it is believed that it generates love between the spouses, and that taking it off and not wearing it will have an effect on the marital relationship, then this is regarded as a form of shirk and is a kind of jaahili belief. Based on the above, it is not permissible to wear a wedding ring under any circumstances.

Firstly, because it is an imitation of those who are no good; it is a custom that has come to the Muslims from the non-Muslims. “

"Obama's wedding band is "an intricate gold design from Indonesia, where he had lived as a boy," the New York Times reported in 2009."

With "Death to America" engraved in Arabic on the inside no doubt.

The absolutely creepy looks of the two gay clowns in the car is perfectly complimented by the "No Entry - Wrong Way" sign reflecting on the door below Obozo.
