Obama’s picture in Somali dress published on Drudge Report website made a huge storm and criticism. Some said it was the smear tactics of the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton who wanted to pull down her competitor with the campaign. But even if it is like this, why was Obama dressed like that? BBC News agency asked their Somali expert, Yusuf Garaad Omar about the meaning of the robes. Here I cite the whole answer:
“These are the normal clothes that nomadic people wear.
The head turban is especially used by elderly people as a suggestion of respect. It is something that has no meaning whatsoever in Somalia culture.
If you see someone dressed like that in Somalia, you think it is a nomadic person – that is all.
There is no religious significance to it whatsoever. It is mainly the nomadic people who use it. Some of them are religious, some are not.
It is simply a tradition of the place where they are from.
In this particular place, Wajir in north-east Kenya, the community is majority ethnic Somali.
They have a council for Peace and Development, and when they get delegates they dress them as a nomadic person.
I have been trying to track down the old man in the photo with Mr Obama, and I have been told he is Mohammed Hassan, the chair of the council itself. But he is not in town today, and we could not get hold of him.
This debate reminds me of people back home in Somalia, who say that women should not wear trousers, or other cultures who say men should not wear a tie. I just don’t think it makes sense.“
Ok, let’s say he is right and it has nothing to do with Muslim religion and garments has no significance at all. But Obama claims to be a Christian and believing in Jesus as his saviour. I’m believing in Jesus and by no means I would dress like a Muslim whether it is diplomatic or not, custom or not, I simply follow Jesus and I use my casual dress.
After this photo an other photo was published on the internet, and here it is:

Look like we missed something from Barack Hussein Obama and his so called “christian” belief… Hussein is an Arabic name that means “good, handsome”, his father was said to be an atheist turned from Islamic, he has significantly everywhere the number 11 – see my article: Origin of Obama, Honolulu, number 11 – satan and chaos And the best is: christian means nothing but a creepy label that anyone can use, even the pope who met with leaders of various religions such as voodoo, Hindu, Lamaist, Buddhist, Muslims under the slogan to be “unified” because we all love the one “god”. I tell you straight, this is not the god I’m believing in and following. The god I love is the only one that exists and who has sharp swords in his hands against those who pretend loving him but they are religious liars. I believe in this god, and in his anointed son, Jesus. And Obama has nothing to do with him.
