Abbasid Caliphate Endorses Obama
Excerpt:
Breaking with the Abbasid family’s traditional silence regarding American politics, the caliph Abd Allah al-Ma‘mun today endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama (D-IL).
According to AskThe Dead, a political blog run by a psychic collective in Venice Beach, CA, the former caliph (reigned 813-833) decided to speak out after learning that the Mongol commanders Hulagu and Timurleng had endorsed the likely Republican nominee, John McCain (R-AZ) while the caliph’s stepmother, Zubayda Umm Jafar, had declared her support for Obama rival Hillary Clinton (D-NY).
