"Oh Obama – convert to Islam, and you will be saved."
In a sermon broadcast on Egyptian television, Muslim cleric Hassan Abu Al-Ashbal had some things to say to one President-elect B. Hussein Obama:
My message to him is three-fold. First, I invite him to convert to Islam. This is the call of the Prophet and of Allah. Oh Obama – convert to Islam, and you will be saved. I hope that Allah will reward you twice: Once for converting to Islam, and another reward for all those who will convert in your footsteps. If you want glory – you will find it in Islam. If you want honor – you will find it in Islam. In religions other than Islam there is utter humiliation, even if you are the president of the entire world.
It's funny that a pissant "cleric" in Egypt thinks its his place to tell the next President of the United States what to do. What ain't so funny is this:
If Obama took to the airwaves tomorrow and announced that he was converting to Islam, there'd be a great many lemmings, er, Americans who would "convert in his footsteps." Hell, Oprah Winfrey would probably lead the way.
