Converting to Islam is to declare and testify that: "There is no God except Allah; Muhammad is Messenger of Allah. La ilaha il-Allah, Muhammad-ur-Rasulullah".
English translation of this Arabic phrase is:
"There is no God except Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.".
I will recite the above phrase with witnesses and hopefully Allah will accept me into his heavenly kingdom.
Is this supposed to be funny?

Barack Obama and the Muslim call to prayer
On this day in 2007, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth.” In an interview with The New York Times, Senator Obama recited, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent,” the opening lines of this prayer:
“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... “
