I think this is an amazing idea. Really innovative and if it really does go to the Obama government then we can bring about real serious change. Basically how this works is any user who registers at Open For Questions can submit questions and vote yes or no to questions that are already submitted. I did a quick search for the keyword “israel” and found a lot of positive questions that have a lot of “yes’s” that made me extremely happy.
I request everyone to share 2-3 minutes by registering for this site and submitting your questions as well as voting yes to the questions that matter to you most. Especially the ones related to Islam, Muslims and the Muslim world.
I’m sure many of you have heard about the news lately. I don’t need to bring it up here. It got be thinking though, would Malcolm X (rah.) support Barack Obama? Based on his lectures, articles and autobiography that we have from his legacy, one can assume that after he performed Hajj he was open and relax on his views of White Americans and non-Muslim Black Americans.
In my own personal opnion, I think he’d be just like Imam Siraj or Imam Zaid or any of the Black American Muslim leaders we have today. I think he’d also be extremely critical and question Obama on all his motives and moves.
There is a lot of love and hate in the Muslim blogosphere regarding Obama and his moves after he became President-elect. I’m neutral right now, because Bush is still the President until Jan. 20, 2009. That’s more than 2 months of Bush’s policies. Obama can select all the people he wants in his cabinet and talk about all his policy changes, but nothing will happen until January 21, 2009.
Now the Obama lovers and haters have a few things in common. They fail realize that Obama is:
…not a Muslim, so he’s not subject to the Qur’an and Sunnah
…not in control, because Bush still is.
…not the best President ever since [insert current best President], because he has not even started his Presidency.
…not perfect. He’s not even close to being perfect. He’s made many mistakes in his campaign of which Ralph Nader highlighted a few. He’s also made mistakes as a Senator (voting for the billion dollar bail out plan which gave the crooks more money to thrive off of).
…not going to please everyone. He will especially not please Muslims, because many of us don’t really care about American politics nor participate in the government. So those who don’t care, will not be cared for.
…not going to stop killing Muslims.
And lastly the most important fact to remember is that Barack Obama is President-ELECT. He will be the President of the United States of America and Commander-in-Chief on January 20, 2009, inshaAllah.
Remember, we still have more than 2 months of Bush!
For the rest of us (including myself) who are neither the Obama hater or lover, please join me on my blog on Jan. 19, 2009, to celebrate the last day of Bush.
