Muslim Ideological Council: Obama should be named "Caliph of Muslims"

One billion muslims can't be wrong:

Pak Minister wants Obama to be ''leader of all Muslims''
MSN

Islamabad, Sep 2 (PTI) A Pakistani minister wants US President Barack Obama to offer Eid prayers at Ground Zero in New York and become the "Amir-ul-Momineen" or Caliph of Muslims.

Minister of State for Industries Ayatullah Durrani, who belongs to the ruling Pakistan People''s Party, said the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr festival, expected to be observed on September 11, would be a "golden opportunity" for Obama to offer Eid prayers and declare himself the leader of all Muslims.

"In this way, all the problems of the Muslim world would be solved," Durrani told The Nation newspaper.

"Mullah Barack Hussain Obama" or "Allama Obama"

He said: "The time is approaching fast. Barack Hussain Obama must act now. This is a golden opportunity, Muslims badly need it."
Obama''s elevation to the Islamic Caliphate would be the "key to success, he claimed but did not offer any explanation for his remarks.

''Ground Zero'' is the former site of the fallen twin towers of the World Trade Center.

The caliph in Sunni Islam is the successor of Muhammad as the military, political, and spiritual leader of the Islamic community. The caliph is the center of the unity of the Muslim umma, and allegiance to him for Muslims supersedes national allegiances.

Barack Obama through Muslim Eyes

by Daniel Pipes
FrontPageMagazine.com
August 25, 2008

How do Muslims see Barack Hussein Obama? They have three choices: either as he presents himself – someone who has "never been a Muslim" and has "always been a Christian"; or as a fellow Muslim; or as an apostate from Islam.

Reports suggests that while Americans generally view the Democratic candidate having had no religion before converting at Reverend Jeremiah Wrights's hands at age 27, Muslims the world over rarely see him as Christian but usually as either Muslim or ex-Muslim.

Lee Smith of the Hudson Institute explains why: "Barack Obama's father was Muslim and therefore, according to Islamic law, so is the candidate. In spite of the Quranic verses explaining that there is no compulsion in religion, a Muslim child takes the religion of his or her father. … for Muslims around the world, non-American Muslims at any rate, they can only ever see Barack Hussein Obama as a Muslim." In addition, his school record from Indonesia lists him as a Muslim

Thus, an Egyptian newspaper, Al-Masri al-Youm, refers to his "Muslim origins." Libyan ruler Mu‘ammar al-Qaddafi referred to Obama as "a Muslim" and a person with an "African and Islamic identity." One Al-Jazeera analysis calls him a "non-Christian man," a second refers to his "Muslim Kenyan" father, and a third, by Naseem Jamali, notes that "Obama may not want to be counted as a Muslim but Muslims are eager to count him as one of their own."

A conversation in Beirut, quoted in the Christian Science Monitor, captures the puzzlement. "He has to be good for Arabs because he is a Muslim," observed a grocer. "He's not a Muslim, he's a Christian," replied a customer. Retorted the grocer: "He can't be a Christian. His middle name is Hussein." Arabic discussions of Obama sometimes mention his middle name as a code, with no further comment needed.

"The symbolism of a major American presidential candidate with the middle name of Hussein, who went to elementary school in Indonesia," reports Tamara Cofman Wittes of the Brookings Institution from a U.S.-Muslim conference in Qatar, "that certainly speaks to Muslims abroad." Thomas L. Friedman of the New York Times found that Egyptians "don't really understand Obama's family tree, but what they do know is that if America — despite being attacked by Muslim militants on 9/11 — were to elect as its president some guy with the middle name ‘Hussein,' it would mark a sea change in America-Muslim world relations."

Some American Muslim leaders also perceive Obama as Muslim. The president of the Islamic Society of North America, Sayyid M. Syeed, told Muslims at a conference in Houston that whether Obama wins or loses, his candidacy will reinforce that Muslim children can "become the presidents of this country." The Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan called Obama "the hope of the entire world" and compared him to his religion's founder, Fard Muhammad.

But this excitement also has a dark side – suspicions that Obama is a traitor to his birth religion, an apostate (murtadd) from Islam. Al-Qaeda has prominently featured Obama's stating "I am not a Muslim" and one analyst, Shireen K. Burki of the University of Mary Washington, sees Obama as "bin Laden's dream candidate." Should he become U.S. commander in chief, she believes, Al-Qaeda would likely "exploit his background to argue that an apostate is leading the global war on terror … to galvanize sympathizers into action."

Mainstream Muslims tend to tiptoe around this topic. An Egyptian supporter of Obama, Yasser Khalil, reports that many Muslims react "with bewilderment and curiosity" when Obama is described as a Muslim apostate; Josie Delap and Robert Lane Greene of the Economist even claim that the Obama-as-apostate theme "has been notably absent" among Arabic-language columnists and editorialists.

That latter claim is inaccurate, for the topic is indeed discussed. At least one Arabic-language newspaper published Burki's article. Kuwait's Al-Watan referred to Obama as "a born Muslim, an apostate, a convert to Christianity." Writing in the Arab Times, Syrian liberal Nidal Na‘isa repeatedly called Obama an "apostate Muslim."

In sum, Muslims puzzle over Obama's present religious status. They resist his self-identification as a Christian while they assume a baby born to a Muslim father and named "Hussein" began life a Muslim. Should Obama become president, differences in Muslim and American views of religious affiliation will create problems.

Aug. 25, 2008 update: This is the fourth in a series of articles I have published on Barack Obama's ties to Islam. The prior three:

"Was Barack Obama a Muslim?" FrontPageMag.com, December 24, 2007. Raises questions about Obama's childhood religion and considers some implications.

"Confirmed: Barack Obama Practiced Islam." FrontPageMag.com, January 7, 2008. Replies to a critique of the prevous article by "Media Matters for America."

"Barack Obama's Muslim Childhood." Jerusalem Post, May 1, 2008. Pulls together existing information on Obama's childhood religion.

Nov. 6, 2008 update: In Iran, Obama is widely known as Hussein Agha (Mr. Hussein).

He's not a Muslim, but even if he were, that should not be a problem.
He may well be considered an apostate Muslim by some...but that doesn't help him any. If he 'gave up Islam' and became a Christian, then he certainly wouldn't get the trust of other Muslims.

He's the President. Is it really a surprise to anyone that all types of people would want to gain pull by claiming that he is one of them *whoever 'them' is)?

oh, okay, i thought you had just posted this as clever spike bait like you suggested in another post, but now i see that you're actually trying to pursue these allegations of obama being muslim.

i was, for a time, raised catholic. i am not catholic. that stopped at around the age when they start teaching you about the wafer. now, i am a secular humanist, in some ways because i grew up in an area with a very strong humanistic influence, also because of my academic training, and certainly due to some other influences, too. golly, i turned out a little different than what was intended huh? or maybe not.

obama grew up partially in indonesia, and partially here. he spent plenty of time in an academic environment not all that unlike mine. he declares that he became a christian. he also has some obviously humanist assumptions at work. i'm sure he has some respect for islam, or at least it doesn't feel as foreign or exotic to him as it may to you, but... so the fuck what? his story about what he is is perfectly plausible. he obviously was not raised in his early youth in a "hardcore" islamic way because it really didn't stick, just like catholicism didn't stick for me.

not all of us are born followers, jim. some of us get beyond what daddy said when we was knee high to a deli pickle.

all this obama is a muslim shit is a big stupid circus, and it really undermines any legitimate point you might have abut the economy or other truly relevant issues. enjoy your witch hunt.

Muslim, or no, Obama has 'the spirit of antichrist'.

What does that mean?...
He speaks heresy in that he says 'there are many ways to get to heaven'.
Speaking heresy is 'the spirit of antichrist'.
1 John 4

Saying there are many ways to get to heaven is contrary to Jesus' teaching, and is denying him.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6

There's no interpreting. It says what it says.

no, you're interpreting what it says and passing judgment.

there are many ways to get to heaven? really? like, what does that even mean? aren't there a bunch of different manifestations of faith or (even more so) works that could gain favor with the tooth fairy, er, god?

saying obama is of the antichrist based on this weak string you cobbled together? man, that don't sound very christian to me. it's obvious. you want to judge him. you want him to be bad. i wonder why.

I didn't say he was "the" antichrist.
What you think it 'sounds like' makes no difference to me.
I just quoted what the Bible says. There's only one way to get to Heaven.
Anyone that teaches different....

i didn't say you said he was the antichrist either. you said something like he had the spirit of the anitchrist, which i more or less repeated - his is "of" the antichrist.

if you don;t understand how you are interpreting, we're done here. you're applying the word to your purpose in an specific way. faith? works? grace? sounds to me like there's a lot of heretics out there. you buy the gasoline, i'll get the wood.

read the passage man.
A lot of people have "the spirit of antichrist" just like a lot of people have "the Holy Spirit".

That doesn't imply he's got anything to do with "The Beast".

I'd give you a lesson, but you apparently aren't interested in any of that,
just denigrating, and spinning.

get over it.

Yet every time he's actually seen participating in somethign religious, it's Islamic, not Christian.

cite examples. and make sure it's actually religious, not just interaction with some folks that happen to be from one religion or another.

There are many ways to get to heaven if you believe in that. You can be a preacher, you could work at a charity, you could do good stuff in your day to day life.

Ignoring Jesus' teachings and being a hate filled fear monger isn't going to do it though. That would mean you had the spirit of the anti-christ.

so those who convert to christianity aren't really in the club, cato?

who are you to question the sincerity of anyone else's conversion?

your attitudes seem remarkably un-christian to me.
