Peace be on you, O the degrader of the kafiroon, the proud, the oppressors. Peace be on you, O my master (maula) O master of the age (Ya Saahebaz Zaman) (Isteghasa-e-Imam Asr (a.t.f.s.))

You fulfilling (every promise) and giving joy, heart, and confidence (to the momineen); filling the earth with justice; making your enemies follow the law and accept the revolution; taking the wind out of the haughty and the boastful, and those who knew but denied the truth; breaking the back of the proud and the arrogant; uprooting the roots of the unjust; and we-singing the praise of Allah, the Lord of the worlds. (Dua Nudba)

The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings upon him and his Family) said: “Allah will raise a man from my progeny, from my Ahlul-Bayt, through whom the earth will be filled with justice the same as it has been filled with injustice and oppression.” (attributed in Al-Musannif, vol. 11, p.371, trans. bundle of flowers, Sadr-’ameli, 2004)

Khalil Bendib, a fabulous Muslim political cartoonist is hereby endorsed by this blog as the next President of the empire:
What: Official kickoff of Khalil Bendib?s 2008 Presidential Campaign
Where: Mudrakers Cafe, 2801 Telegraph Avenue (at Stuart), in Berkeley
When: August 30, 7p.m.
Who: Khalil Bendib (will give a short speech followed by a Powerpoint presentation, Q and A and book signing)
Khalil Bendib is running as an independent candidate - not affiliated with any political party.
(Any one can run for president - and it?s been done to death, frankly - but how many can TWIRL for president?)
In a year when America may see?for the first time?either a woman president or a Black Leader of the Free World, what are the odds for a first-ever Muslim Commander-in-Chief?
After carefully testing the waters for months, the newly declared candidate (who, as an homage to the late Dr. Seuss, calls himself ˝the Prez in the Fez,) today started pounding the pavement, mindful to not appear too stereotypically violent or too anti-pavement.
According to anonymous but reliable sources, turning swords into ploughshares will be at the heart of the candidate?s foreign policy. ?Box cutters, machetes, Ginsu knives, we?ll turn any sharp cutting implements into organic- food cultivating instruments? declared the so-called Prez-in-the-Fez, whose campaign slogan is ?The Pen is Funnier than the Sword?. According to Mr. Bendib, ?Mirth Makes Right?not Might? and ?Disarming the enemy through the power of laughter and good cheer? is the best defense. ?Ours will be the funniest, most hilarious administration in American history,? asserts the candidate, with a straight face, no joke!
