Yes, but I'll also be quick to point out that this is a classic rhetorical move. You know, about how those damn Jews know something about the damn Communists that we don't. Err, except and by Jews I meant Muslims and by Communists I meant Liberals. You get the point.

Absolutely meaningless CCIP. Seriously, for a big major leader of a Muslim Political group to compare a "Christian"??? to the "Messiah" leaves alot of questions. I know how these people work and this stands out as something to look at with a raised eyebrow. Your example above has absolutely no comparison to this in any way..nor do I believe it is the way anybody makes any true comparisons. Seriously I've never seen what you describe above by anybody with any credibility?

CCIP is very smart, I listen to what he has to say. As for me well I am agnostic, I get a kick out of watching all you religious people fight over who the invisible man in the sky favors

Questions? Not in the least. Louis Farrakhan is simply a racist jerk who hates Christians and will take every opportunity to preach his hatred... He has always been this way and his rhetoric never changes. Who better to wrap his banner around now on than Obama? It'll just get Farrakhan more media coverage...

If BHO becomes president, I wonder what cabinet positions he will give to Ayers, Wright and Farrakhan? Maybe Ayers will be secretary of defense and nuke us...

No doubt Obama would surround himself with people scornful of the USA. If Farrakhan compares him to the "messiah", and his known associations with very questionable characters, combined with some of his statements.....you know his cabinet would be full of very unsavory people.

Yes, this will be an eventful time for America. The Muslim do have a "Messiah" figure, I think they call him the last prophet or something to that effect. I think it is an adaptation of the book of Revelation though.

Whatever the case gents, casting the shadows of doubt concerning BO associations does have an effect on the election. Certainly, the past week has cast doubt in quite a few minds across america. Obama does have some shady characters as friends. Just as he came clean on Rev Wright (Rev Wright was silenced) he should come clean with Ayers. Obama has not been truthful here. No one kicks off a Senate run in anothers livingroom and suggests they just do not really know each other. I suspect more to unfold as the weeks progresses.

As i understand it, muslims regard the christian messiah as merely another prophet. and yes, they await the coming of the next great prophet who will be messianic.

I believe it'd be a gross violation of the religion for a muslim to make any reference to the christian messiah as anything more than a prophet. i'm talking HUGE violation.

As for his shady friends... it'll be interesting to see the whole story.

That is true with regards to the term "Messiah", which has its roots in Judaism. The word comes from the hebrew "Maschiach" and the Aramaic "Meshika".

Doesn't matter who gets in the oval office. They are put there by the power elite, and if we think change will happen, it is only an illusion.

Scroll down the page to the quotes on the Federal Reserve.

This was well known about before it was even enacted, and long after it was entrenched.
