A bad omen.

It has been reported that the day after the new president's election, al Qaeda issued a little-noticed statement declaring Barack Obama a murtad, i.e. an apostate whose betrayal of Islam is judged the most heinous. Believers have the duty to execute a murtad unlike other non-believers whose death sentence is optional.

There are lots of people comparing Obama with JFK. I hope that this story is not true for the sake of Obama and all non-believers in this world.
