Does Obama Believe There is No God But Allah?
Why would anyone – who declares himself to be a Christian – wear a ring (or any jewelry) that depicts the first part of the Shahada, which is the first of the Five Pillars of Islam? The Shahada declares “There is no god but Allah (and Muhammad is his prophet).” It is distinctly Islamic in origin and anyone who would wear a piece of jewelry with this inscription on it surely must believe himself/herself to be associated with Islam.
