we were watching the campain on the Al-Jazeerah Channel, the people went wild!
NBC: OBAMA ELECTED 44TH PRESIDENT
Illinois senator to become first African-American executive in U.S. history
Barack Obama, a 47-year-old first-term senator from Illinois, shattered more than 200 years of history Tuesday night by winning election as the first African-American president in the history of the United States, according to projections by NBC News.
Obama reached the 270 electoral votes he needed for election at 11 p.m. ET, when NBC News projected that he would win California, Washington and Oregon.
Campaigning as a technocratic agent of change in Washington, not as a pathbreaking civil rights figure, Obama swept to victory over Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, whose running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was seeking to become the nation’s first female vice president.
well there is hope for the colored folks in US after all.
Funny how they were mentioning all the blacks, hispanics, chrstians, etc who voted and what percentage and yet they didn't dare mention Muslims or asians or arabs and their voting percentage.
Also, not only is the next president black but also 1/2 Muslim, how come they didn't mention that lol
anyways, lets hope he's better than the other zionist servants that came before him and a little less anti-islamic
I doubt this is the night he wants to mention anything controversial.. further I believe he'll be doubly racist to overcompensate...
it was a matter of the lesser of two evils.. and I really have a strong suspicion they will assassinate him and end up with a white dude anyway ...
he is no Muslim.. like the wonderful sheikh once said..
Being a Muslim isn't a birth right-- everyone needs to make that pact with Allah, when they become of age of understanding !

It makes little difference what Obama believes or wants. The President is simply the visible, high profile vote getter for the party that nominated him.
The change that takes place will be what the Democrats want, not necessarily what Obama wants. Of course it is expected he will agree with the Dems. If he doesn't he will have less power then Millard Fillmore had when he was prez.

Whoever recites [the above] one Hundred times, a thousand good deeds are recorded for him or a thousand bad deeds are wiped away.Sahih Muslim; #4:2073.
Yea, I gotta admit, that was the second best speech I've heard from him, and he came across as sincerely humble. It was really amazing. I loved the opening line.
They don't usually ever make a mention of the Middle Eastern / South East Asian voting turnouts... And I think everybody had enough mention of the Muslim background, so come on, there wasn't a reason to mention it.
"...You are my Walî in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die as a Muslim, and join me with the righteous." [Surah Yusuf 101]
I am relieved too although I pissed about his tax policies among other things but.. I don't think we nee bush for four more years or worst another 8 until Americans find themselves begging on the streets of Calcutta having spent every last penny building barricades and engaging in wars to protect themselves from the boogy man -- probably some repuke-cons will concoct another terrorist act by which to convince morons that they need to engage in more holy wars against the terrorist Muslims--
honestly talk of your delusions of grandiosity coupled with paranoia ---
Anyhow we'll see how it goes..

Um because those are the visible minorities. Blacks, Latinos, and Asians are the highest minorities in the US. With Latinos being the highest.
And he's not half Muslim, he's not a Muslim at all. There's no such thing as ''halfsies'' in any religion, especially Islaam.
I got up at 5am this morning to hear the result - I'm in the UK but I'm SO RELIEVED. Fingers crossed he is going to bring some positive changes.
I think we all need a lift and a big boost to our morales - sometimes this is all it takes to start to change the things that aren't going so well.

I thought he was Christian? And it was actually his Dad that was Muslim? Or am I wrong?
ANYWAY GOOD NEWS ON THIS RAINY WEDNESDAY!
In heaven, all the interesting people are missing.

Thats excatly what i have been thinking, them nazis were plotting it anyway.
I am pretty sure more groups are plotting the same thing. He must be a strong man to go on with all this.
I was at work and totally forgot about it.
Then when I got home, a friend texted me the results!
I was literally jumping up and down with excitement.
It's such an awesome day today
