I’m not sure why there was such a problem with this picture. He is most likely in a jewish temple. Men are not allowed inside the temple unless they are wearing one. My very Egyptian and very nonjewish father went to a Bar Mitzvah and even he put one on. I have pictures and found it to be quite funny. Does that suddenly make him an Israeli lover?

haha, reminds me of a great daily show bit on the AIPAC speeches: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xy1dL2p1lJY&feature=related.

it’s unfortunate that some think the candidates are equal with regards to Muslims/ the Muslim world, and also unfortunate that some Muslims are practically single-issue voters.

a few years ago at the RIS retreat in Toronto, Shaykh Abdullah bin Bayyah was speaking about participation in the democratic process. he argued that Muslims shouldn’t try to ally with one party alone, or set up a Muslim party, but there are advantages in the various parties, so individual Muslims should get involved with whichever they think is best, even if they can’t find a party with which they agree absolutely. (after all, very few can.)

politics is the art of making the people believe they are in power when in fact they have none.

so dont believe the hype. and MR, much love akhi but a shayton is a shayton no mater what shade of pigment his skin is. either candidate is a shayton and just paving the way for the dajjal.

When Obama was invited to AIPAC months ago, that was the proposal. His speech was the the Nikah.
Now his visit to Israel is the Walimah.

They only consummate the marriage when he advances their causes.

Race is no reason to vote for Barack.

I dont really support him, but my motivation is Iraq and Iran and my fear of what McCain might do with them.

The Israel problem will not be solved any time soon.

i personally don’t see any problem with this. as akhan said, he probably wouldn’t stand any chance in this race unless he did support Israel.

so how does this benefit Muslims? at least it may lead to racial desensitization.

if he was blatantly pro Muslim i don’t believe he would have gotten anywhere near this far, at least it opens the door for future candidates to be from different backgrounds, a break from the traditional pattern.

Its a start
