MM, it's not about the photo. It's about your decision to post it here with no explanation. And you definitely knew precisely what you were doing.

>> OK, so Obama is not a Muslim, but he goes to a hell-roaring Christian Church and that is definitely Islamic dress in the photo.<<

MM -

Wrong.

This is what comes of making no distinctions between people one knows little about. What Obama is wearing in the photo is a traditional Kenyan outfit. It's not "Islamic dress."

Nor was that some kind of "ceremonial photo." It's just a snapshot.

Kenya's population is roughly 70% Christian, and only 10% Islamic, as someone else already pointed out.
