Ali ibn Abi-Talib, a Shiite Islam for the central figure of the seventh century, should have predicted when the world ends, the columnist Amir Taheri published. A "large, black man," the "the strongest army in the world" in command, is "in the West" to take over power. It is "a clear sign" of Hussein, the third Imam, respectively. Ali says of this big black man: "The Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us." Barack Hussein in Arabic means "the blessing of Hussein". In the Persian Obama is translated as: "He [is] with us." And so, the name of the American president when he was with his physical attributes and links of geography, close to the end of time is near - just

what the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has preached. At the bottom of the earth is the Muslim reaction to Obama's election victory when it was mixed expect. The American Islamists are delighted, the umbrella organization American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections (American Muslim Reaction Force for Civil Rights and Elections) expressed the view that Obama's election with "our nation to new heights Ascended majestic" was. Siraj Wahhaj, Al-Hajj Talib Abdur Rashid, the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, the Islamic Society of North America, the Islamic Circle of North America and the Muslim Alliance in North America have responded with similar exuberance. Hamas and the Islamic movements in Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, India, Indonesia and the Philippines enjoyed in Obama's election. Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch generalizes that the jihadists and Islam Mr people worldwide "unclouded joy" showed. The New York Times is the public reaction in the Middle East as mostly "euphoric." John Esposito of Georgetown University, stressed the welcome the Muslim world for Obama as "internationalist president." But plenty of other Muslims have different views. In Canada's Edmonton Sun finds Salim Mansur John McCain "a worthy candidate." Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the sheikh of Al-Jazeera, spoke from the opposite reasons for McCain said: "This is so because I prefer the obvious enemy, not hypocritical of his hostility towards you hide ... against the enemy, which is a mask [of friendship] helps. " Al-Qaradawi also takes the view that twice as many Iraqis during Bill Clinton's two terms as died during the two of George Bush. Even the hard-liners in Iran had (according to the former Iranian Vice President Mohammed Ali Abtahi), a victory by McCain prefers, "because they are more of the enmity with the United States benefit that enables them to the Islamic world behind its policy to collect and at the same time dissent at home and to enter. "The Taliban took note Obama's election promise to U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and warned that he should implement this plan," the jihad and the resistance will continue. " The Iraqis are due to Obama's plan, U.S. troops quickly deducted from their country, fiercely divided. This plan along with some promise from the U.S. dependence on oil in the Middle East and to end with the Iranian leaders to negotiate unsettled the leaders of Saudi Arabia and other governments in the Persian Gulf. Some commentators believe that Obama, there is no real difference can make, an Iranian newspaper declared him unfit for the "of capitalists, racists and Zionists established system to change. It was predictable that the appointment of Rahm Emanuel to be Obama's chief of staff took the view the Palestinians by an omnipotent Israel lobby confirmed. A commentator in the United Arab Emirates, went further and said Obama predicted that the curve of the eye-catching appearance, failure in the Middle East and an election defeat by Jimmy Carter repeatedly. Overall, the mixed reactions from Muslims face a confusion of Aussuchten a U.S. president of Islamic origin suggests the "change" (change) promises, but its foreign policy under the constraints of his office collapses. In other words, Muslims face the same about Obama hanging question mark over how everyone else. Never before have Americans so unknown and mysterious person elected to the White House. He emerged from an extreme left-wing background, he ran, in particular in the general election, mostly as a center-left candidate. Which of these positions he will take as president? Specifically: Where in the spectrum from left outside to center-left he will land? If Obama's policy, for example in relation to the Arab-Israeli conflict Rashid Khalidi, reflecting the ex-PLO propaganda shooters, with whom he is in the 1990-ies anfreundete? Or Dennis Ross, his last campaign adviser and a member of my board at Middle East Forum? That nobody can say. One thing you can predict. Should Obama on his extreme left-wing roots to return, the Muslim euphoria widely continue. Should he try his presidency a success by making it center-left approaches, many - but hardly all - Muslims, the experience to make a serious disappointment.
