Muslim Prayer Rugs In The Obama White House

Viral image text circulating since.

Muslim prayer rugs in the obama white house.

For the past 8 years to appease any muslims working at or visiting the white house silence has been ordered during the 5 times of islamic prayer each day. Updated december 11 2015 originally published november 2013. The piece carried the headline obama crushed after trump orders white house to stop his sickest tradition it also alleged that prayer rugs and crescent moon symbols are available in several areas of the executive mansion to make muslims more comfortable and that islamic prayer is observed for 25 minutes per day seven days a week. This is a hoax perpetuated by a satirical news website.

A viral message claims that former president barack obama prayed with muslims in the white house after canceling the christian national day of prayer. The rumor that president obama installed a muslim prayer curtain in the white house is false. Obama has also been falsely accused of enforcing. On trump s orders one of obama s most secretive rituals is being reversed and all signs of it removed from 1600 pennsylvania avenue.

It seems as if the myths regarding the obama s will continue long after they are gone from the white house. We received a fact check request to see if it is true that trump had all of obama s muslim items removed from the white house such as prayer rugs crescent moon symbols and the halting of muslim prayer five times per day. In addition prayer rugs and crescent moon symbols are available in several areas of the executive mansion to make muslims more comfortable. Did the obama white house hold islamic prayer five times a day and provide prayer rugs for muslim employees and visitors.

There is no such thing as a muslim prayer curtain and the patterned drapes shown behind president obama bear no arabic symbols or other markings of significance.
