You offer no evidence for your opinion.

How do you explain that Farrakhan has proclaimed him the "messiah" (that would be Mahdi)? Do you think he didn't bother to confirm that with Obama?

Even Obama's iconography states loudly..."I am the awaited one." ("I am the One you have been waiting for").

You may not think he is the Mahdi (and you may be right), but you obviously don't speak for Obama!

BTW, you say that Obama doesn't meet the requirements for the AC...but if you will notice, I said Mahdi, and he does meet those requirements according to Islamic scholars.

And for that matter, what in your opinion are the requirements for AC that he fails to meet?

Here's an older article by Amir Taheri (who is an occasionaly poster on FR, but I cannot remember his Freep name) as to Obama being the Mahdi. This conclusion by Taheri is based on only a few characteristics--there are many more (Taheri has been disputed by some Islamic authorities and supported by others)...

Is Barack Obama the "promised warrior" coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?
The question has made the rounds in Iran since last month, when a pro-government Web site published a Hadith (or tradition) from a Shiite text of the 17th century. The tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar (meaning Oceans of Light) by Mullah Majlisi, a magnum opus in 132 volumes and the basis of modern Shiite Islam. According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet's cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a "tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West." Commanding "the strongest army on earth," the new ruler in the West will carry "a clear sign" from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: "Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us." In a curious coincidence Obama's first and second names--Barack Hussein--mean "the blessing of Hussein" in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means "he is with us," the magic formula in Majlisi's tradition.

You put credibility in anything Farrakhan states? Why? He’s a nut case and welds no power whatsoever among leadership in any nation...including ours. He’s simply tolerated until needed.

No He does not meet the requirements of the Mahadi....first and simply enough..he’s married with children. Nough said.
