First Time Voter, True Confessions

Ah...yes. Forty five years, three hundred and sixty two days on November 4th and you know what?

I've never voted. Not once. I never felt either compelled or qualified to make that kind of decision. I have to wonder how many people really are qualified to vote?

Not many. Obviously. Some people will vote for "that one" and that just goes to show how ignorant many, many people really are.

Heh. Not telling.

But I will say this. Barak Hussein Obama has some very interesting characteristics to a person like me who has studied the life of the Commander of the Faithful, Ali ibn Abi Taleb (may Allah be pleased with his Ahl Bayt). I have to say, Obama manifests some very good qualities in a human being, especially one who is going to have to lead the United States out of a very dark time indeed.

I think for the first time in a very, very long time....we actually have a race on our hands.

And Allah did choose George W. Bush to be president. For sure. And if Allah prefers one candidate over another...well. There you go.

And if Allah prefers a bad leader for this country, we'll soon know it.


"When a community is composed of honest, sober and virtuous people, your forming a bad opinion about anyone of its members, when nothing wicked has been seen of him, is a great injustice to him. On the contrary in a corrupt society to form good opinion of anyone of them and to trust him is to harm yourself." - Ali ibn Abi Taleb, Commander and Chief of the Faithful, Lion of Islam, Gate to the City of Knowledge, May Allah be so very pleased with his Ahl Bayt.
