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.

Towel too tight.....
I take it women are not considered human beings in Islam...
I guess this explains the “Jihad of Northern Aggression.” ;)
LOL!
This was after Muslims discovered the Bering Strait, I believe.
“chose to live by Islamic edicts like abolishing organized slavery”
Yeah, it’s that disorganized type of slavery that’s so rampant in the islamic world.
All Muslims wear beards.
Abraham Lincoln wore a beard.
Therefore, Lincoln was a Muslim.
And to think these folks are descended from the vanished culture that invented algebra.
This is the biggest hunk of horse poop I have ever heard.
These guys are just too funny...
Lincoln was a Muslim, Jesus was a Muslim, Abraham was a Muslim, even Adam was a Muslim.
These guys live in an alternate universe....
“According to the Quran, everybody is born a Muslim”
Maybe that’s why babies cry so much.
BWAhahahahahahahahahaa!!!!
Now THAT’s the way to make a joke.
That’s why Lincoln wore such a tall hat. He kept an IED in there.
So, according to this theory Jesus was born a Muslim. So was I. And so were you. The giggle factor here is pretty high. This guy probably roomed with Baghdad Bob at the Madras.
Hah!
Cool, that means these guys were born Muslim too. They should be proud...
Good one, and so true....
Hey Faruq Masudi, go eff yourself. (that’s all I got.)
It’ not just the liberals who are not in full possession of their thinking faculties.
Outrage! To the streets we should go....we should be loudly demanding an apology for their words against Lincoln.
