Obama bows down to Saudi King

Clarice Feldman

I am quite certain that this is not the protocol, and is most unbecoming a President of the United States.

bowing down to Islamist monarch

I'm speechless, stunned, saddened by our president bowing to a muslim king.

Get jiggy with it, and join the rest of us infidels. They will impose the jizzya, but me and mine will never bow to them.

"Verrrrrry strange that Drudge and Hannity have not mentioned it.

I don't find that Drudge frequently links directly to a YouTube video. It happens, but it's very rare.

Hannity, on the other hand, is very out of character that he didn't discuss it on tonight's broadcast. I wasn't all that shocked he didn't talk about on radio - it's difficult to describe. But, I thought he was saving it for tonight's show as it fits perfectly for his program. It's very, very odd indeed.

There's not mention of it anywhere on ABCNBCCBSCNNNYTMSNBCFNC or anywhere else.

The GOP is dead. GHWB did Kuwait/Iraq for the KSA, GWB did Afghanistan/Iraq instead of KSA. Nobody remembers ABSCAM. The Arabist apologists infest even this great forum. Give the the names of the Afghani nationals, and Iraqi nationals that planned and executed the atrocities of September 11, 2001. They were Saudis, an Egyptian, Jordanian, and stinking Pakis. A pox and horrific death upon all of their houses and progeny.

does not exchange presents, but apparently it is the norm................if you are a Muslim.

Or a member of various American Protestant sects.

Worldwide Church of God, Radio Church of God, International Church of God are 3 that come to mind immediately.

Then there are the seriously flaky cults like the JW's, the Seventh Day'ers, etc ad infinitum.

Saudi King Bans Kissing of His Hand (LA Times Archive)
LA Times ^ | 9/12/2005 | staff
posted on Thursday, April 02, 2009 2:48:50 PM by pissant

“...”Kissing hands is alien to our values and morals, and is not accepted by free and noble souls,” Abdullah told a delegation from Baha, in southwest Saudi Arabia, which came to the royal palace to offer congratulations on his accession. “It also leads to bowing, which is a violation of God’s law. The faithful bow to no one but God.”
...”


http://www1.american.edu/TED/hpages/protocol/middle~1.htm

SAUDI ARABIA
Greetings are highly formalistic
Shaking of hand is often accompanied by touching the arm or the shoulder
Men who are familiar with one another may often embrace at greeting
Relish lavish gifts
Have a strict sense of religion and diet
Men may bring wives to the United States, however, in Saudi Arabia, they remain unseen
Cherish long, close business friendships
Harbor a disdain for the US business custom of changing sales/marketing representatives
Dogs are not commonly household pets
Good topics: history, culture, and respect fore the Islamic faith
Bad topics: any blasphemy, Israel, and the role of women


http://www.ehow.com/how_2089399_practice-proper-business-etiquette-saudi.html

Use your hands carefully. Use your right hand when doing anything in public to practice proper business etiquette in Saudi Arabia (e.g., handshaking). Keep from gesturing with your hands a lot or pointing at anything, especially to the soles of people’s shoes or feet. This is considered very rude behavior. Get used to people being in your personal space and refrain from pulling or jerking back when someone touches you. It is customary to touch and stand close to one another.


http://www.the-saudi.net/business-center/business-etiquette.htm

Saudi custom regarding greetings is rather ritualized. When entering a meeting full of people, a Saudi will greet each person individually with a handshake while standing. The same is expected of visitors. Learning some appropriate Arabic phrases for such occasions is appreciated

“There’s not mention of it anywhere on ABCNBCCBSCNNNYTMSNBCFNC or anywhere else”

The SYDNEY HERALD is the ONLY Major engkish-language Media source that has been willing to even mention it, so far, and even they include a pieve from Rabid Obama Worshipper Gloria Starr ENDORSING what Obama did!!!

Remember the outrage in 1986 when a minor Reagan Diplomat curtsey’d to the Queen of England?

The left and the media went ABSOLUTELY BANANAS over that.

"...Remember the outrage in 1986 ..."

what was the deal? What were they whining about? Were the liberals and media about the same as they are now?

I must admit that I limited my search to media sites located in the Northern hemisphere. My bad.

I do remember the "curtsy" incident during the Reagan administration. I also remember the Bush hand-holding at his ranch with King Abdulla (sp?). That lead the evening newscast on ABC and I bet it was covered in some detail on the rest of the network news shows.

The bias of the news media is absolutely shameless. It shows no signs of ebbing, and only grows with each passing news cycle. It's sickening.

I don’t think Jehovah’s Witnesses exchange gifts either, but then 0bama was never a Jehovah’s Witness, or documented as a member of the Worldwide Church of God, Radio Church of God, International Church of God...

He WAS born a Muslim, and was raised a Muslim until his teen years..

His Harvard education was facilitated and funded by Muslims.

He now continues to give concessions to Muslims, dismantles the War on Terror, closes GITMO, and kow tows to Iran..

Now he is bowing in public to the King of Saudi Arabia.

You be the judge...

All the facts, listed line by line....including but not limited to the pseudo pastor wright who taught hate to obama and his family, along with ayers the terrorist etc. Everything points to alliances, and not to “the people”. When one reads that list, in black and white..like your list, it truly gives a spark of fear.....especially after 9-11.
