  • Obama the “promised warrior”

    Obama and Ahmadinejad

    Is Barack Obama the "promised warrior" coming to help the
    Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?

    The question has made the rounds in Iran since last month,
    when a pro-government Web site published a Hadith (or
    tradition) from a Shiite text of the 17th century. The
    tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar (meaning Oceans of
    Light) by Mullah Majlisi, a magnum opus in 132 volumes and
    the basis of modern Shiite Islam.

    According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the
    prophet's cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End
    of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the
    Ultimate Saviour, a "tall black man will assume the reins
    of government in the West." Commanding "the strongest army
    on earth," the new ruler in the West will carry "a clear
    sign" from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali.
    The tradition concludes: "Shiites should have no doubt that
    he is with us."

    In a curious coincidence Obama's first and second names--
    Barack Hussein--mean "the blessing of Hussein" in Arabic
    and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian
    alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means "he is with us," the
    magic formula in Majlisi's tradition.

    This was in the Turkish press today and as a Turk, I am clearly concerned about Shiite Muslims conquering the world.


    Are there any Persian Users here who can confirm this, is there Shiiti Text predicting the coming of Obama?

        That's true, but Hurriyet quoted the Forbes Mazin.
