Pak Minister wants Obama to be ''leader of all Muslims''
2010-09-03
Islamabad, Sep 2 (PTI) A Pakistani minister wants US President Barack Obama to offer Eid prayers at Ground Zero in New York and become the "Amir-ul-Momineen" or Caliph of Muslims.
Ummmmmm...yo, minister. Appreciate the thought, but you really ain't helping me out here...
Minister of State for Industries Ayatullah Durrani, who belongs to the ruling Pakistan People''s Party, said the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr festival, expected to be observed on September 11, would be a "golden opportunity" for Obama to offer Eid prayers and declare himself the leader of all Muslims. "In this way, all the problems of the Muslim world would be solved," Durrani said.
But, let me be clear. I would be very interested in acquiring some of whatever it is you're smokin'...
Durrani, a former member of the Pakistan Ideological Council, contended that the Muslim world is in "dire need" of a Caliph and occupying this distinguished slot would provide Obama "exemplary titles" like "Mullah Barack Hussain Obama" or "Allama Obama".
Hmmmmmmm...Let me talk to Rahm about this.
Golly. Titles. Do sprockets come with that Caliph gig, too?
He said: "The time is approaching fast. Barack Hussain Obama must act now. This is a golden opportunity, Muslims badly need it." Obama''s elevation to the Islamic Caliphate would be the "key to success", he claimed but did not offer any explanation for his remarks.
I'm thinking...magic mushrooms.

No. But you get to wear a towel around your head, long flowing robes and pointy toed slippers. You might not want to tell Michelle about some of the other perks.

#5  I'd love for him to be the "Leader of all Muslims" and get the hell OUT of America.

Or even better to be "Leader of All muslims and be stationed at Qom when the Israellis blast it to radioactive atoms.

and maybe the reappearance of smallpox. They'd both have the same effect on muslim populations worldwide.

#1   "In this way, all the problems of the Muslim world would be solved," Durrani said.

Intriquing idea Minister Duranni. Our President may however be insulted that you do not already see him as the "Amir-ul-Momineen." Many of us here have an even better and longer lasting solution to the Muslim dilemma.
