Abraham Lincoln was Born a Muslim, Says Film Maker Apr 20 12:26 PM US/Eastern

ATLANTA, April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Barack Hussein Obama is not alone. The 16th President of The United States, Abraham Lincoln, was born a Muslim, says Faruq Masudi, producer and director of the new Islamic movie, Quran Contemporary Connections.

In a casting coup, Abraham Lincoln shares equal footage with luminaries of Islamic history like Saladin, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia and the former President of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed. What do they have in common?

Faruq Masudi said, "According to the Quran, everybody is born a Muslim. It is only by his own free will that a man chooses a different course for himself. In that Abraham Lincoln was not only a born Muslim but he chose to live by Islamic edicts like abolishing organized slavery; establishing equality of all human beings, democracy and accountability to God and Man; core Islamic concepts as propounded in the Holy Quran."

According to the filmmaker, Quran is compatible with American values and is not alien to them. Americans don't have to be afraid of the Quran as it is already playing out daily in their lives. And Muslims don't have to eye Americans with suspicion. According to Masudi, "there is quite a bit of Islam in the West without the Quran and there is little Islam in the East, despite the Quran."

Quran Contemporary Connections places the Quranic themes in modern setting and context. In a deliberate departure from the extremist interpretations, the narrative in the film runs "Allah is not a Muslim specific God; Muslim do not have a monopoly on Him. He is not a Christian God. Christians do not have a monopoly on Him.

Hmmm may or may not be true, but we do know for sure that everybody is “Irish” on St Patty's Day.

He was not only a Moslem but he was also a Gay Moslem. However, it is reliably reported that the latter was on a part time basis.

Ha ha, that’s funny.

But seriously, anyone know what the total forced labor count is these days in Itrea? And how are those Christian women doing in Pakistan who had their teeth broken by a Muslim mob. How’s the King of Saudi Arabia doing with his attempts to make his kingdom democratic?

I work for a Chicago P.R. company, and we had a client, George Fox, Jr., who published a book, “Abraham Lincoln’s Faith-Based Leadership,” which was written by George Fox, Sr. (1885-1959). He was raised near Springfield, IL, and, while he was a child, he talked to several old men, who knew Lincoln, when Lincoln lived in Springfield. According to the book, those old men said that Lincoln said that his Christian faith was very important to him. He quoted many Bible verses, and his faith influenced many of his decisions, as president.

This is common knowledge. Everyone can tell from reading Lincoln’s second innaugural that he was a flaming Islamist.

There is now little doubt that Lincoln was born a gay, black muslim. No wonder he is the greatest President in American history.

It must be the “global warming” or the PCPs. Aren’t there wierdos out there who insist that both Jesus Christ and Abe Lincoln were gay?
