WND’s report that Arabic-language and Islamic experts claim the gold band Obama has been wearing on his wedding-ring finger for more than 30 years is adorned with the first part of the Islamic declaration of faith naturally was met with skepticism in some circles, but Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze.com news service published a report citing a Duke professor who confirmed the WND experts’ assessment.
Earlier today, before it published the report, four members of The Blaze editorial team, including Editor-in-Chief Scott Baker, cautiously discussed the Obama ring story in their “Blazecast Rewind” Internet broadcast, without mentioning WND.
Baker, noting he had been inundated with links to the WND article, said he approached the story as he does other “memes” that float around the Internet and need to be either debunked or verified.
TheBlaze.com reporter Billy Hallowell told Baker he spoke with a professor from Duke who read the article, examined the photos and affirmed the conclusion of the WND experts.
“Based on what he saw, he said that this is, essentially, Arabic script on the ring and that it is the first part of the Shahada,” Hollowell said.

You may want to check out www.FreeRepublic.com. It normally is pretty good.
Much better than Whirled Nuts Daily.
So, you don’t have any answer to the question. I was just asking a simple question. WND is typically attacked by proglodytes, libs and parasites on society. I was attempting to figure where you fit?
WND has a considerable number of conservative posters. It seems they also have a gang of queers always ready to attack Christians, and the sexually normal.
Not sure why people want to focus on all these kooky, fringe storylines; when there is such a rich vein of REAL material out there.
Believe it or not, a goodly number of people can focus on more than one issue at a time. I haven’t seen any hopes that Romeny will focus on this; just a small topic of discussion.
And, btw, you seem to be focusing on this irrelevant useless topic a great deal.
Oddly enough, I do check out FR daily. And articles from WND are often posted here.
And a gaggle of people love to attack WND as though it’s a pile of crap. Odd, that.
I am always intrigued by people who attack WND as though it’s some kind of enemy of conservative thought or something. Do these attacks similarly target the MSM? Or is their ire solely for WND? If I was interested enough I’d check posting history but I”m too busy at the moment.

You have to wonder if some of the lurkers are really libs waiting to pounce. WND is one of the most popular sites for conservatives. They don’t restrict access by the libs and progs which can provide considerable entertainment.
FR is larded with leftists. I am not accusing anyone in particular. It’s just a well known fact. Some are volunteers and some are hires.
Normal conservatives do not spend time and energy attacking WND.
By “larded” I don’t mean they equal the real conservatives here; just that there are enough of them so one runs across comments that make you go “WHAT!?!?!??” a few times a day.
Pleas list all the “factions” you believe exist on FreeRepublic.
“My Muslim Faith” obumpa
My question was this, so as not to cause confusion: “And what faction would call WND, such a pejorative name?”
Factions include, libs, proglodytes, parasites, homos, atheists and leftists.
Thanks Smokeyblue.
