....TheBlaze decided to speak with experts at some of America’s leading universities. One academic, a professor at Duke University, provided a candid assessment, but asked to remain off-the-record. Based on the images and analysis present in the WND report, he said that the script present on Obama’s ring appears to be Arabic and that it does, indeed, include the first portion of the shahada.
“I think this is accurate,” he said of the description surrounding the ring.

Real men just wear solid gold bands. I don’t know what the “snakes” symbolize but that is one strange wedding ring for a man to wear.
Maybe his ring symbolizes “Snake Oil Salesman...”
I'm going to link to a number of variations on Arabic calligraphy that read either “there is no god but Allah” or just “Allah.

Now take a good look at them. Compare them to the “squiggles” on Zero's ring. I'm not an expert on Arabic calligraphy, but I'm pretty sure that that bottom “squiggle” could most certainly be “Allah.”
Take a look and be the judge for yourself. The Blaze consulted a real academic expert at Duke, who confirmed the inscription. I'll take that over some self-appointed know-it-all on “urban legends.”
That squiggly garbage hardly looks like it could be translated into something. But, I wonder why he wore the ring on his left ring finger in his younger years.
Looks like he banged it a few times. Typical of WND. FR should consider not allowing posts from there.
Yes. And when he’s within a thousand miles of Mecca, the letters emit a fiery glow.
Look at the side view here. I think they are snakes. It is not Arabic script.
Jeez, I just looked at my finger skin through a magnifying glass. I don’t have that type of skin!
What’s up with the reptilian like creases in his finger skin?
Sometimes, for no discernible reason, FR goes into “let’s protect the muslim at all costs” mode.
Very strange.
“apologist”
I refuse to tilt at windmills.
I personally agree that Obama is a muslim. I mean, the guy said so to Steffie, can recite the conversion prayer, acts like a muslim, hates Israel, etc. Pretty obvious Obama’s a muslim.
But this ring is not anything more than a ring.
Really?? And you know this because a few libs told you so?
There’s no one so blind as those who will not see.
“There’s no one so blind as those who will not see.”
I agree, you should get your eyes checked.
Anyone who actually looks as the clear pictures can see this does not say “allah,” but is a symmetrical repeating pattern.
Advice for you: go look up “allah”. There’s lots ofo them around the web.
Then go visit an ophtalmologist. I hear Bashar is supposed to be one.
No.
It’s a ring with a pattern, and one side has been damaged and scraped.
But you probably believe all the citings of Jesus in toast.
I just looked at my skin, and it has all these little patterns on it, and one of them looks like that Arabic stuff....
I just looked at my skin, and it has all these little patterns on it, and one of them looks like that Arabic stuff that people said means “Allah”.
Now I’m afraid that if a muslim sees me scratching my butt, he’s going to try to chop my head off. Or kill our ambassador.
