Obama prayer leader from group US linked to Hamas
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON
A Muslim scholar chosen to speak at President-elect Barack Obama's inaugural prayer service Wednesday is the leader of a group that federal prosecutors say has ties to terrorists.
Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America, is one of many religious leaders scheduled to speak at the prayer service at Washington's National Cathedral.
Mattson has been the guest of honor at State Department dinners and has met with senior Pentagon officials during the Bush administration. She also spoke at a prayer service at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Mattson, who was elected president of the society in 2006, is a professor of Islamic studies at Hartford Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut.
But in 2007 and as recently as last July, federal prosecutors in Dallas filed court documents linking the Plainfield, Indiana-based Islamic society to the group Hamas, which the US considers a terrorist organization.

Is this your way of saying that as long as they present things "nicely" they can blaspheme?

Did Obambimbo forget Lincoln was assassinated?
His Lincoln obsession going to extremes has a negative side to the equation.
What if some crackpot out there decides to complete the "Lincoln Scenario" on him?
I always thought Michelle wearing that hideous and atrocious (and unflattering) "Black Widow Dress" emblazoned with the stark red hourglass on the night of the election is an obvious omen of things to come.
She'll be a widow.

God forbid he gets shot. However, if he does and it's in the head and he recovers, you'll have a hard time convincing me he's not the anti-christ.
And I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast," (Rev. 13:2-3).

I'm with diversteach on this one. He's got all the charisma and following you'd expect. If nothing else, can we agree he's a type and shadow of the AC to come?
On a side note, most people I know (especially my family) think I'm waaaay too interested in current events and the end times stuff. Does anyone else get that from people they know? How do you handle it?
