Photo of Obama in Muslim garb shows deep ties to faith, O'Reilly says | Fox News

"There is no question the Obama administration's greatest failure is allowing the Islamic terror group ISIS to run wild, murdering thousands of innocent people all over the world, including many Muslims,” said O'Reilly. “Mr. Obama has never, never acknowledged that mistake, nor does he define the ISIS threat accurately"....Bill had we NOT gone into Iraq based off a series of lies and Intel set up in a manner that gave justification to go, but with the letters Blair sent to you telling everyone that you were going to go no matter what, it's not Obama's fault that ISIS even came into the picture. I guess Bill also forgot that the Iraqi government told Obama they wanted us GONE, and there were no "if's, and, or buts" on that? Knowing that should've told you the person responsible for the rise of ISIS were two of the most powerful leaders in the world, an Iraqi government that wanted to settle old scores, and knew with us there, that wouldn't have happened, and NOW.....this get up. Obama's attending a wedding of a family member who IS of the Islamic faith is wrong and leads you to question what are his ties to Islam? Ummm he's at a wedding. A simple google search shoes MANY past Presidents wearing Jewish garb....does that mean they're Jews in disguise?

I served on embassy duty in sub-Saharan Africa. The "garb" is not "Muslim". It is traditional garb that is reflective of the historic Arabic and central-Asian influence throughout the coastal and plains regions of most East-African countries. Although the Arabic versions are typically white, the color patterns of the west African dashiki have shown up in central and East African countries. Before everybody says Arab = Muslim, it does not. There are multiple religions followed by the Arab people in North Africa, the middle-East, and central-Asia. I have two very similar sets that were given to me by a Christian friend in Zanzibar (Island that is part of Tanzania). Got to tell you, they are pretty comfortable for lounging around the house on a hot muggy day.

Given his Kenyan roots, I don't think it is odd that he would wear the "garb" at a family event.
