[Obama, who is left-handed, made the Sign of the Cross with his left hand.]
In the Muslim culture, the left hand is the butt wiping hand.
Therefore anything you do with the left hand is an insult.

I never followed my Muslim friends into the bathroom, but I assure you that in most circumstances, they use both hands, like everyone else. Meanwhile, your preoccupation with men's dirty butts borders on the paraphilic.
"In the Muslim culture, the left hand is the butt wiping hand.

amazing non-sequiteur, your version of logic is bizarre.

All US presidents, all left-handed. Dang, you people are really getting desperate to find something to slam Obama with. he must be doing a hell of a good job.
People used to think that being left-handed was unlucky, giving rise to the term "sinister", but thankfully we have moved past such archaic... oh, wait.
Damn. You figured it all out, didn't you?
Well, I guess the game's up then.

As it was in many cultures. But nowadays we have toilet paper, hand soap, and indoor plumbing so which hand you wipe with is as irrelevant as which hand you masturbate with.
Therefore anything you do with the left hand is an insult.
I wipe with my right hand. Does that mean I'm insulting every single pen I ever write with? Am I insulting myself when I masturbate with it?

With a sign of the cross? That's quite an unusual shout out. He couldn't have made like a crescent moon or something? I mean us "filthy commie libruls" are going to defend him anyway, right? So why not make a vague moon sign rather than a sign of the cross with his dominant hand which could easily be mistaken as a sincere gesture?
I lived for a short time in Kuwait, and I was told that when eating without any utensils (out in a tent in the desert for a family celebration) I was to use my right hand only, so as not to give offense. That is the only time the issue of handedness ever came up.
Since then, I've eaten pizza with Muslims, and they use both hands to do so. Just like everyone else.
This is what you're focusing on, Freepers? Because it's not like the nation is facing any serious problems.
Giving the sign of the cross (to a turkey, btw) is a Muslim quip on Christianity?
Hell no, it's satanic! We all know Barry's a satanist, don't we?

Wait, so a man who is left handed, and who, to my knowledge, has never claimed to be Catholic made the Sign of the Cross with the wrong hand? And you think this makes him a Muslim?
Heck, I was raised Catholic, and being left handed, it took me a few tries to remember not to use my left hand! It certainly didn't make me a Muslim.
Hasan, I see why you use that screen name, then.
I edit this to add that your English is excellent, and as I was once the English examiner at an expensive language school, you can consider this an expert opionion.
He was actually sending a signal to his communist friends in Chicago. That's why he does all this stuff with his left hand; even WRITE for Christ's sake! He's a leftist, through and through.

This thread has made me realize that, being a lefty, I was apparently a very, very bad Catholic for quite a few years. >_>
Thank you for the compliment, Reynardine, but my first language is English. I live in Kosovo but I'm a foreign scholar who specializes in Albanian studies. I live in Prishtina and Hasan Prishtina was a major historical figure around the time of Albania's independence, one hundred years ago today. Gëzuar Festën! Happy Holiday!
I know who Hasan Prishtina was. I began to suspect your English was native after I wrote that, but really, you speak better English than most English and American commenters. Thank you for the greeting!
I'm guessing exit82 is somewhere around the Hills Have Eyes county or Deliverance backroads.
Honestly, An Islamic making the sign of the cross OR the ridiculous concept of otherhandness being wrong are so reaching to find something, anything wrong with Obama that it well borders on insanity.
It makes the putting mustard and no ketchup on your burger, that ENORMOUS BLUNDER of otherness (even though statistically not odd) seem like a real argument.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
