It is inevitable. Some prominent American will want to be the first on his block to pronounce the shahada and become an official worshipper of mohammed. The publicity will be too delicious, and the ego-augmentation unmatched.
The desire to associate such a successful assassin, murderer, rapist, misogynist, slave-holder and all-around in-your-facer with The One True God, is nothing compared to the lure of a celebro-american associating himself with the mosque of what's happening now.
Cynthia McKinney and John Conyers do not count. Neither does Noam Chomsky. The CNN-worthy frisson of "reversion" has to be present for this prediction to be meaningful. No one will be impressed if a dull bear defecates in the woods.
My guess is between two folks: Jane Fonda and Pat Buchanan.
And my vote goes to Pat. Although I think Jane would be mightily tempted, even if it meant a burka, in the end I think Pat's special ego would win the day.
Didn't Cat Stevens do this years ago?
My guess would be Congressman-elect Keith Ellison. Oh, wait...
Litt al-Richard?
