Obama picked a side when he said all through the campaign that he would pursue Al-Qaeda, which is SUNNI Muslim!
Yes, that’s my impression, too. There was once a passing discussion of what kind of Islam was favored by the Luo tribe in Kenya, or by Soetoro in Indonesia. The consensus seemed to be that neither was strictly Sunni nor Shiite, although I haven’t confirmed it in the case of Kenya.
At any rate, Obama seems very eager to support the Shiites. And in return, Iranian clerics have suggested that he is the long-awaited “black man” who is destined to be the forerunner of the Mahdi, much as John the Baptist preceded Jesus.
Obama, of course, prefers to think that he is the Mahdi himself. But it has been evident many times that he leans toward the Shiite faction, as apparently does Louis Farrakhan.
Obama's problem is that he fancies himself an expert on Islam and then he bows and pays homage to the king of Saud. The Sunni. Obama is a Sunni. the 9-11 Boys were Sunni/Wahabi.
Our Boy's pickle is that Iran is Shiite and Obama, unlike ANY other American President EVER, picked sides in the fight. Iran is not a happy camper and with Egypt and Saud allowing Israeli military action directed at Iran, we can assume an Iranian reaction...
