Take a wild guess, who do the Mullahs think that "tall black man" 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.
Mystical reasons aside, the Khomeinist establishment sees Obama's rise as another sign of the West's decline and the triumph of Islam.Obama's promise to seek unconditional talks with the Islamic Republic is cited as a sign that the U.S. is ready to admit defeat. Obama's position could mean abandoning three resolutions passed by the United Nations Security Council setting conditions that Iran should meet to avoid sanctions.Seeking unconditional talks with the Khomeinists also means an admission of moral equivalence between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic. It would imply an end to the description by the U.S. of the regime as a "systematic violator of human rights."

Time to drop the atomic ham bomb.
OMG!! Now the religion of Satan is prophesying Obama? Good Lord, he is the Anti-Christ. Words of Jesus, when you see the Obamanation of desolation, flee to the wilderness
The only discrepancy here is that the name “Hussein” is a Sunni name and usually not regarded highly by Shia (Shiites).
Michael Jordan?
LOL

From - Barack Obama - “Audacity of Hope”: ‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’
Time to launch some Minuteman ICBM’s.
I was going to dismiss this posting since it was from a site called Weaselzippers, but then I followed the link to its original source, Forbes.....hardly a kook publication.
More like to set Satan loose upon the world.
FREEPER ROBE Prophesied that a short balding WASP who suffered under the hands of a Communist regime will NUKE the S4!t out of Iran
I’m no Bible scholar but Obama does have an anti-Christ demeanor
Opposite, man. Husayn is the 3rd Imam, the sayyid al shuhada2, the lord of martyrs who willingly gave his life so that Shi3a could enter paradise. There is a huge body of traditions built around Husayn & his martyrdom at Karbala. The 3Ashura2 traditions are the biggest example.
Names like Muhammed, Ali, Husayn, etc. are originally traditional Arab names from the Hijaz region, by the way. Husayn is not a taboo name for Sunnah either.
Hated names for Shi3a are names like Mu3awiya & Yazid. Maybe you are thinking of one of those?
You are right sorry... I got them mixed up. Thanks for squaring me away. Either way, these radical associations are tremendously frightening. Keep praying hard and let’s win this thing!!!
