What Do Muslims Think about Obama?


When Time Magazine came out with its recent poll that stated as many as 24 percent of Americans believe President Obama is a Muslim, it set off a national debate.

The controversy reminded me of an interview we did last year with Professor Moshe Sharon of Hebrew University, a leading expert on Islam. We interviewed Sharon just before Obama delivered his speech in Cairo, Egypt to the Muslim world on June 4, 2009.

During our interview, Sharon addressed the question not whether President Obama is a Muslim, but how Muslims themselves percieve the President of the United States.

Here's his insightful answer:

He is a Muslem -- no doubt about it. I feel he is the predesessor AntiChrist...especially as I see all he is doing regarding Israel and he is fullfilling Bible prophecy in other ways as well

# RE: What Do Muslims Think about Obama?

Thank you so much for giving us a perspective on what Muslims believe about Obama's faith. Since Obama's words don't match his actions regarding his supposed Christian faith, for example his removing the ban on partial birth abortion. This interview gives great insight into the debate. According to the interview, if Obama really converted to Christianity, he would have been sought out and murdered. He would not have been popular in the Muslim world during the election and they would not have cheered when he won. They also would not have received him when he went to the Middle East as President. This interviewer's comments seem to agree with Islams's actions regarding other converted Christians from Islam and how they have been beheaded or murdered for converting to Christianity in the past and still going on in the present.

So if this is true should America hope for his death to come to pass by his own kind...Muslims.
I know we are to pray for our leaders but America has never had a liar and non-patriot in the office of the Presidency. I have prayed for Obama but reluctly.....
