There's an inflammatory photo of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., dressed in Muslim garb during a trip to Kenya in 2006.

It's not unusual for lawmakers and even presidents to don the local costume when traveling abroad, but the photo is particularly provocative given false rumors that Obama is a Muslim (he attends the United Church of Christ in Chicago).

The Obama campaign accused Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-Ill., his lone rival for the nomination, of releasing the photo.

David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager, said in a statement: “On the very day that Senator Clinton is giving a speech about restoring respect for America in the world, her campaign has engaged in the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we’ve seen from either party in this election."

"This is part of a disturbing pattern that led her county chairs to resign in Iowa, her campaign chairman to resign in New Hampshire, and it’s exactly the kind of divisive politics that turns away Americans of all parties and diminishes respect for America in the world," he said.
