Personally, I don't care if Obama is truly a Muslim. But it is interesting to me that if true I wonder how lying about it is interpreted by other Muslims?
I think Muslims are okay with other Muslims lying, if they are lying to infidels.
Taqiyya (alternate spellings taqiya, taqiyah, tuqyah) is a form of religious dissimulation,[1] or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are at risk of significant persecution

A politician's morality should not depend on his religion but his truthfulness.

That is "There is no God but Allah" ("lā ʾilāha ʾillà l-Lāh")
Only the last bit (first two characters above, which are supposedly on top of each other) partially seems to resemble what's on the ring, the rest doesn't.
As it apparently appears on the ring:
لا إله
إلا الله
Personal verdict: NOPE.
Sorry.

I am ashamed of the ATS populace who gave you 4 stars for such a bigoted and uneducated statement all in one package. I guess that ATS does after all represent a slice of the society at large, and as such it can't
possibly fulfill its stated mission of "denying ignorance". Oftentimes, it seems, it provides a soap box for such.
You are extending the views of a group of Muslims to all of them. You see, it's permissible in Islam to lie to your enemy at the time of war. I frankly don't see a difference between THAT and the Christian point of view. As far as I know, the Allies made best efforts to cheat, and disinform Hitler on every occasion possible.
To jump from that to the statement that it's OK in general for a Muslim to lie to a Christian is unfounded, bigoted and @ss backward thing to say. I traveled to North Africa and found that most Arabs are honest and reliable people. I'd rather do business with them than with you.
Unfortunately...he took the testicles with it......we used to call that the Constitution.....
