Yesterday, USA President Obama announced that he may reach out to the Taliban and various fundamentalist Muslims (apparently including some that may be considered as terrorists):

Obama Says US May Reach Out to Taliban

AP posted: 3 HOURS 27 MINUTES AGO

WASHINGTON (March 8) – President Barack Obama says he hopes U.S. troops can identify moderate elements of the Taliban and move them toward reconciliation.

Asked in an interview with The New York Times if the United States is winning in Afghanistan, Obama said “no,” while adding “our troops are doing an extraordinary job in a very difficult situation”…

There may be opportunities to reach out to moderates in the Taliban, but the situation in Afghanistan is more complicated than the challenges the American military faced in Iraq, Obama said…

“If you talk to Gen. Petraeus, I think he would argue that part of the success in Iraq involved reaching out to people that we would consider to be Islamic fundamentalists, but who were willing to work with us,” said Obama.

“There may be some comparable opportunities in Afghanistan and the Pakistani region, but the situation in Afghanistan is, if anything, more complex,” Obama added. http://news.aol.com/article/obama-afghanistan-taliban/373693?icid=200100397x1220341175x1201331840

This is no real surprise as it is consistent with various comments he made while campaigning.

However, I would like to remind readers of something that was reported in Forbes last October:

Is Barack Obama the “promised warrior” coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?…

According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet’s cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a “tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West.” (for more details see Barack Obama in Islamic Prophecy? )

This Mahdi may be the prophesied final King of the South, and hence it has been my belief since November 2008 that in a sense, President Obama would be an enabler–one who will help lead to the rise of the Islamic King of the South, as well as the ecumenical “Catholic claiming” King of the North.

Thus far, many of the actions that I have seen from the new administration (including expanding the debt policies of the previous administration) seem to point to the direction of fulfilling certain devastating end-time prophecies.
