Abraham Lincoln was Born a Muslim, Says Film Maker    

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."

According to the filmmaker, Quran is compatible with American values and is not alien to them. Americans don't have to be afraid of the Quran as it is already playing out daily in their lives. And Muslims don't have to eye Americans with suspicion. According to Masudi, "there is quite a bit of Islam in the West without the Quran and there is little Islam in the East, despite the Quran."

Quran Contemporary Connections places the Quranic themes in modern setting and context. In a deliberate departure from the extremist interpretations, the narrative in the film runs "Allah is not a Muslim specific God; Muslim do not have a monopoly on Him. He is not a Christian God. Christians do not have a monopoly on Him. And He is not a Jewish God either; Jews do not have a monopoly on Him." Masudi says further, "Muslims alone do not have a copyright on the Quran."

If you thought you knew about Islam, better think afresh, claims the official website of the film http://www.quranconnections.com.

In spite of the fact that the film aspires to promote better understanding between the Three Abrahamic Faiths, it has been met with stiff resistance from the mainstream American distributors. Obama's call to make friends with Islam has not augured well with this community. The film has been consequently released online and is available from premium stores like Amazon.com in the U.S.

Quran Contemporary Connections is a Hoo Productions presentation, a company that has been producing television shows for South Asia and the Middle East for the last two decades.

More proof that to be a muslim you must be insane or at the very least capable of making yourself believe absolutely anything that will 'advance' the quran.

Okay, like myself, Lincoln was a Kentucky bred and born, white boy.  If you were to ask him if he were born Muslim, I believe he would give the same answer I would... you must not be from 'round here.

Extremism at a whole new level

Yet another attempt at the great perversion of America that is in play.

I particularly liked the lie that Lincoln was mooslim because he wanted to abolish slavery. Quick question - who were the greatest slavers during the great 19th Century slave trade? Mooslim Arabs.

Who are the slavers in Darfur right now? If you guessed mooslims - you win a cookie!
