Gabriel comes to him, and brings him the winged steed BURAQ who carries Muhammad to the “farthest mosque”.

Hey! Thanks for looking that up ... Buraq, so when is the MSM going to pick that one up? Too funny .... so Burak Obama was named after an Islamic horse (??)

An al-buraaq is a creature of its own, not exactly a flying horse. Al-buraaq is a word of its own, but if you have to translate it into English, it would be "lightning." (Real lightning is barq in Arabic.) Obama's name is Barak, a form of the word baraka, which literally means blessing. Even though the two words look the same when put into Latin letters, they are not the same in Arabic. Al-buraaq = البُراق Baaraka = بارك

Yes.

He's a dark horse candidate...
