Arab astrologer predicts Bush assassination
Oracle famed for prophesying deaths of Diana, Yassin, Arafat

A Tunisian astrologer who reportedly predicted the deaths of Princess Diana, Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Yasser Arafat says President Bush will be killed by an assassin's bullet in 2005.
So seriously are Hassan al-Sharibi's predictions taken in the Arab world that a similar prophecy about Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Mahmoud Abbas has resulted in increased security around the candidate to replace Arafat as president of the Palestinian Authority.
Abbas' aides put a "great deal of credence" in the prediction, according to a source quoted by the Jerusalem Post.
However, the paper tempered its report by saying critics label Sharibi "a quack with flair who relies on logic and wishful thinking. After all, predicting Yassin's assassination – he was Israel's 'public enemy No. 1' – and the death of an already ailing Arafat are hardly major feats."
Soothsaying is not unusual, nor forbidden, in Islam – as it is in Christianity and Judaism. Muslim caliphs relied on court astrologers as early as the eighth century, according to the report in the Jerusalem Post.
Sharibi also predicted the sudden death of Saddam Hussein before his trial begins.
"The Middle East region will be sitting on a volcano in 2005, and the situation in Iraq will get even more dramatic as Saddam Hussein is expected to die suddenly before his trial even starts," Sharibi said, according to a report by United Press International.
Doesn't Allah forbid making predictions? You would think so considering all of the other stuff that Allah forbids.
My money is on Hassan al-Sharibi checking out long before the President.
....in his dreams. However, I will add extra to my daily prayers for our President's safety and health.
I'm ashamed of you. Anyone with any degree of cultural sensitivity should know that the drape of the keffiyeh is NOT a towel, but a carefully folded little sheet.
Henceforth, use the term "little sheet-heads."
LOL!
Interesting prediction. Jean Hart at JeanHart.com is the only astrologer I ever read who had complimentary things to say about George W. Bush. Most of the other astrologers seem to mirror the Arab astrologer.
Watching the DUnatics over at Democrat Underground, I believe him. They are literally calling for civil war and massive armed uprisings. It wouldn't take much for one of these screwballs to get unhinged and try.
Your remark exhibits a staggering display of cultural insensitivity! AND I LOVE IT!
Most astrologers are left-wing wackos. :):)
Not enough.
Does he have anything on the Lions getting a wildcard spot?
President Dick Cheney! OH the liberals would scream! LOL
Yo! Hassan! Anything happens to W, we know where you live.
Sounds like he just plays the Lee Atwater death pool (http://www.stiffs.com).
Picks a bunch of people in high-risk positions to die and hopes he's right on a few. Arafat was a strong pick this year.
I predict that everyone will eventually die.
But we don't mind if anything happens to Saddamn...
"...calling for civil war and massive armed uprisings..."
Oh, be still my beating heart. We have all the guns. Bring it on, DUmpster filthies!
