An Iranian looking at Iran as a foreigner…

Good Reads

Obama, the President Muslims love, or maybe not?

Let’s accept that “word has been out in the Islamic community worldwide for some time (specially Indonesia and Malaysia) to begin overt support for Obama”. Let’s also accept that “[there are] rumors of the Islamic Republic of Iran also passing the word to their American agents and clerics to support Obama”. Let’s go further and accept too that this plan is actually materialized and that a Muslim is going to hold a banner in support of Obama and to encourage fellow Muslims to vote for him. In what language will he/she write on the banner, besides English? My guess would be Arabic. That’s why I doubt this picture is, as Anti Mullah suggests, “definitive evidence” for the claims mentioned in the above. Why? Because the word “Rahbar” is Persian for “Leader”. Shouldn’t they have used an Arabic word, written with English letters of course, instead? That way the whole Muslim community in the US would be addressed and not just the community of Iranian Muslims.

    translate it in Farsi… “he who is with us”

    no wonder Iranians are for Obama too, without knowing what he stands for. Actually, based on his last debate, I don’t know if he knows what he stands for. Well except for CHANGE, but during his 3 year experience in the Senate, he never did anything substantial to bring change about. I just don’t get the infatuation people have with him, specially the foreigners!

    Kamangir: That was hilarious! :))

  2. kheili khoda bood !

    Translation: I loved it!

  3. Obama is a Senator from my state and the only change I have seen is his attempt to become POTUS. He, along with our governor, is aligned with the city of Chicago political machine which is not known for “change” but is well known to be constantly under investigation for corruption. I would not even vote for Obama for dog catcher. Personally if the Muslim world wants him, they can have him as far as I am concerned.

  4. Is that Orange International College in Kuala Lumpur? Do any Persians attend?

    Kamangir: You mean this is not in the US?

  5. Ah. Just followed Gateway’s link, nm.

    I’m not surprised Muslim support = Obama is a negrofascistmuslim over there, though. ;-)
