Is Obama linked to the islamic mahdi in the end times?

%26quot;Is Barack Obama the %26quot;promised warrior%26quot; 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 %26quot;tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West.%26quot; Commanding %26quot;the strongest army on earth,%26quot; the new ruler in the West will carry %26quot;a clear sign%26quot; from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: %26quot;Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us.%26quot;



In a curious coincidence Obama's first and second names--Barack Hussein--mean %26quot;the blessing of Hussein%26quot; in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means %26quot;he is with us,%26quot; the magic formula in Majlisi's tradition.%26quot;



Will be Obama with us, Muslims,

as the meaning of his name in Persian language



The name Obama in the Persian language (Iran’s language) means_ “He is with us.”



According to Islamic tradition, there was an Islamic Imam who was the Prophet Mohammed’s cousin and son-in-law. His name was Ali Ibn Abi-Talib. This man gave the following prophecy:



“At the end of times, and just before the return of the Mahdi, 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 .”



Strangely enough, the name Obama in the Persian language means_



“He is with us.”



On November 27th, 2008, Barack Obama was asked the question regarding the vision for change and where the change would be. Obama quickly stated, “I am the change, the change comes from me.” We are made to wonder who this strange one is, and what is his real agenda?



I know he has started coming out the closet about the 'muslim' topic and has stated that some of the members of his family are muslim.



your thoughts??
Is Obama linked to the islamic mahdi in the end times?
When that prediction was made, there was no 'west'. And I'm sure Barack's parents named him that so he would be muslim antichrist. What a load of crap.



If muslim nutjobs quit blowing themselves up and killing americans because of it then thats ok by me.
Is Obama linked to the islamic mahdi in the end times?
He's the one!!!
LOL. this cracked me up. you are not serious are you?
No, I think the reason why he picks such a topic is because at the moment america has been in war with muslims. And since he has just come in to power he has to put things right as that is what his country expects.
i know it sounds terrible, but you have to admit...if he IS linked with terrorist organisations in secret, it's by far the most devious and brilliant plan theyve had and may well bring alot of damage if succeeded...



BEFORE YOU RATE ME DOWN, i in no way believe this or support it...it is merely an outlandish theory
Apparently there is a growing market for fairy-tales for adults!
I think there is a lot of kool aid in your question.

For one thing there was never a question about him being in the closet about his father and others having been Muslim.

For another his father left when he was very young and he himself is not a Muslim, he is a Christian.

Every president makes a change, and that change comes from him.

Bush declared himself the decider, he made many changes, few of them good, but no one felt he was the antichrist.

Prophecies are worded so loosely that over the centuries many can claim to fulfill them. But they aren't ever so specific that when they don't come true there isn't a way out.
the anti christ is predicted in most religions, it makes interesting reading telling you the signs to look out for
may i ask whats ur source for the %26quot;prediction%26quot; or prophecy that you're telling? because i am a muslim from the middle east and i've never heard of this before so it's not really as common as u think! while we all here think obama is a good change, we dont really believe %26quot;he is with us%26quot; or whatever thats supposed to mean.
No.
