Meet Ibrahim Lincoln!

Note that underneath the bluster of the claim in the press release's headline (below) is the Islamic dogma that everyone is born a Muslim. By such means Muslims can claim anyone's accomplishments. But the assertion that the abolition of slavery is in the Qur'an is false. The Qur'an takes slavery for granted, and it is no accident that there has never been a Muslim Wilberforce or Garrison.

Nor does the Qur'an teach equality of any kind between the Muslims, "the best of people" (3:110) and the unbelievers, "the most vile of created beings" (98:6).

"Abraham Lincoln was Born a Muslim, Says Film Maker," a press release from Hoo Productions, April 20

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."...

They claim that they were here before the white guys from Europe. Sure. Oh and Mecca is the center of the Earth. It has a zero magnetic field. It goes on and on.
