Barack Obama's Muslim Call to Prayer



One year ago, on February 27, 2007, Barack Obama was interviewed by The New York Times, in which he said the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth." He then recited it "with a first-class [Arabic] accent," according to The Times.

The opening lines of this prayer:

"Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... "

*Hear what the Muslim call to prayer sounds like.

This probably faired well with Louis Farrakhan who this past week said, "Barack Obama is the Hope of the Entire World."

As ObamaMessiah reported:
"The 74-year-old Farrakhan, addressing an estimated crowd of 20,000 people at the annual Saviours' Day celebration, never outrightly endorsed Obama but spent most of the nearly two-hour speech praising the Illinois senator.

"This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better," he said. "This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama's audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed."

Farrakhan compared Obama to the religion's founder, Fard Muhammad, who also had a white mother and black father.

"A black man with a white mother became a savior to us," he told the crowd of mostly followers. "A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall."

So, what say you?
