Is our President Barak Hussein Obama bowing to another Muslim? Looks like a bow to me. Sad

It's called politics. Possibly courtesy when dealing with another head of state.

I just read an article that mentioned that. It also said he didn't bow to Queen Elizabeth. Does anybody know what the typical protocol is for the President of the United States in these situations?

Joshua 23:7,8
and lest you go among nations, these who remain among you. You shall not make mention of their gods, nor cause anyone to swear by them; you shall not serve them nor bow down to them. but you shall hold fast to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day.

Bowing to gods and bowing to men are different things. Because someone is of another culture and does not believe as you do is not a worthy reason to disrespect them by not showing courtesy.

Bowing there is normal. Now when he gets on his hands and knees to bow to him, then you should have a problem.

I agree with the unsaved ones here. In Japan one is expected to bow. Why not in Saudi Arabia? This us common courtesy, which some of the more vocal Christians here seem not to understand.

He inclined his head to his shoulder level and bent over slightly at the waist... why is this a big thing? W kissed this guy on the cheek, held his hand, and changed America's foreign policy from the last two decades around the guy... and everyone goes up in arms because Obama shows some respect? Unbelievable.
