Iran: If Obama Wins, Islam Will Conquer America
Foreign Confidential....
Iran's leadership has expressed "great pleasure" at the prospect of a Barack Obama victory in November, according to Menashe Amir, the Iranian-born head of Radio Israel's Persian language service.
But Iranian President Ahmadinejad has said he doubts that the "American establishment" will allow Obama to win.
One of the Iranian religious leaders said if Obama will enter the White House, then Islam will conquer the heart of the American nation, Amir told Isracast.
The Iranian leadership likes Obama mainly because he is a Muslim,according to Amir. His first name, Barack, comes from al-baraq,which is the name of the horse that Muslims believe Muhammad rode on his way to paradise.
His middle name Hussein is also a Muslim name, and he was born to a Muslim father, said Amir.
