So, this man who claims to be POTUS is an ignoramus!!! He won't bow to the Queen of England, but his bow to the King of Saudi Arabi, the country that since it established control over the Arabia peninsula in the 1920s, the Saudi royal family has claimed to be the guardian of Islam's two holiest sites – Mecca and Medina – and prides itself on upholding the "purest" form of Islam, known as Wahhabism. Wahhabism dates back to a pact between eighteenth century Arabian zealot Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and a desert brigand named Ibn Saud, which enshrined an alliance through marriage that produced the Saudi royal family. Until the late 1970s, Wahhabism was an extreme sect that happened to rule Saudi Arabia, but did not bother too many outside the kingdom's borders. To counter the proliferation of anti-Saudi Iranian propaganda, however, the Saudis decided to spread Wahhabi teachings abroad. The royal family's oil wealth poured into countries throughout the Islamic world, from West Africa to Indonesia, fueling a proliferation of madrasas (religious schools) that indoctrinated a new generation of Islamists. Even in the United States, Muslim children studied Islamic primers shipped from Wahhabi institutes in Saudi Arabia. Many of the radicals learn from mullahs teaching the Wahhabi belief system. In my opinion it is cruel, vile, and evil.
Here is an article by a Sunni Muslim about the Wahhabis
Back to King Hussein.
The ironic thing about this bow, is that since the "uproar" over his total lack of international, Presidential protocol, the White House is denying he bowed to the king. Yeah, right. Take a look at the picture for yourself. You decide. Bowing to a royal member of his faith? Showing respect to his fellow Muslim? Or just bending down to clasp his hands since he is so much taller than the other king? What an idiot!!!!

Check out the video of the scene and you can completely see that it was a bow. Only one hand was extended not both. What a jackass. Thanks for representing jackass. I am so done with this jackass of a President.
