Hijab=Muslim?

Recently, pictures of Barack Obama have been buzzing around the Internet. In these photographs Obama is standing in front of a Somali elder, dressed in some Somali traditional clothing. Notice how he’s still dressed in his Polo and Khaki pants. (See Below)

Of course, people are going hysterical over these photos. Leave it to the right-wing spin machine to label this as proof that he’s a Muslim. I suppose that Condoleezza Rice is a Muslim in disguise as well?

Or, Laura Bush, the First Lady?

It’s honestly time to quit the racist slurs against Obama. If Obama is a Muslim for putting on the ceremonial dress that the natives of Somalia gave him, then shouldn’t Rice or Mrs. Bush be labeled as such? It’s all about respect, as Rice and Mrs. Bush has. When you’re in someone’s country, you pay respect to their customs and cultures, which is all that Obama did. So it’s time to shut the hell up, and grow up.

Also, enough with the “Obama” rhymes with “Osama”, which means that he cannot be President. Again, grow up. If you’re judging him because his name SOUNDS like (His name isn’t even Osama, it just rhymes) Osama, then you need to go back to Middle School where shit like that used to matter. As well as the OMG HIS NAME IS HUSSEIN! I. Don’t. Care. His name could be Osama Bin Laden, and I would still vote for him. He is his own person. It’s just his name. Grow up, and judge people on who they are, not because they sound like other people.
