An American critic claims this photograph proves why President Obama 'allowed ISIS to run wild'
A political commentator reckons previously unseen photographs of Barack Obama in traditional Muslim dress prove he has 'deep emotional ties' to Islam. Fox host Bill O'Reilly claims the photographs were taken at the President 's half-brother's wedding in the early 1990s. The two pictures show a young President Obama smiling while dressed in a dark robe wearing a white hat. But in a rant on his The O'Reilly Factor Fox programme, Mr O'Reilly said the President's 'deep emotional ties' to Islam had meant he was too soft on terrorists in the Middle East.

He said: "There is no question the Obama administration's greatest failure is allowing the Islamic terror group ISIS to run wild, murdering thousands of innocent people all over the world, including many Muslims." And he said the 'ties' had 'harmed the USA,' adding: "Mr Obama has never, never acknowledged that mistake, nor does he define the ISIS threat accurately. "That group is killing innocent people in order to impose a radical version of Islam on the world. The jihad is solely based on theology, perverted as it may be."

According to President Obama, he was 'raised as an Indonesian child and a Hawaiian child and as a black child and as a white child.' He attended both Muslim and Catholic schools while growing up and lived with his non-religious grandparents in Hawaii. He has said: "What I benefited from is a multiplicity of cultures that all fed me." Courtesy : Mirror
