Dubai Law firm offers job to Obama: Learn More about Tolerance of Islam

Robert Spencer | Jihad Watch Eisa Bin Haidar clearly doesn’t know his man. He says: “A faction of the American and western media has constantly profiled Islam as a religion of terror and categorised Muslims as terrorists. Well that is absolutely not true. Islam is a religion of tolerance, understanding, forgiveness and acceptance … it is not a religion of terror and Muslims are not terrorists.” He doesn’t explain why so many Muslims keep screaming “Allahu akbar” while killing people and blowing things up. He also says: “The only way for westerners to accept and understand Islam and Muslims is to come and live with us and amongst us. Once he [Obama] leaves his office at the White House, I offer President Obama to work in my law firm and then he would come and live amongst Arabs and Muslims and learn the exact meaning of tolerance.” But Obama is not really his target. Obama has said: “The United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. Islam teaches peace. Muslims the world over aspire to live with dignity and a sense of justice. And when it comes to America and Islam, there is no us and them – there is only us, because millions of Muslim Americans are part of the fabric of our country.” He has also said: “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.” So Eisa Bin Haidar doesn’t really need to invite Obama; he needs to invite some of the people in the “American and western media” who he thinks are profiling Islam as a religion of terror and categorizing Muslims as terrorists. But if he really wants all this noxious profiling and categorizing to stop, he should go to the Muslims who believe that they should commit acts of violence against unbelievers in order to please Allah, and explain to them why they’re wrong. But he almost certainly will not do that. “Dubai law firm offers job to Obama so he can learn more about tolerance of Islam,” by Bassam Za’za’, Gulf News, May 16, 2016 (thanks to Hindu American):

Dubai: An Emirati lawyer has offered the US President Barack Obama a job in his law firm in Dubai in an attempt to familiarise him with the tolerance of Islam. “To get closely acquainted with the meaning of tolerance of Islam,” tweeted Emirati lawyer Eisa Bin Haidar on Sunday as he offered to hire Obama in his firm and to live in Dubai once his presidential tenure expires soon. As of Monday, Obama has 248 days left in office — a newly-elected US president starts official duties on January 20, 2017. In another tweet addressing Obama, advocate Haidar tweeted “President Obama, I offer you a job in my office, salary, housing, tickets and travel to Arab countries”. When asked by Gulf News about his tweets, Bin Haidar said: “A faction of the American and western media has constantly profiled Islam as a religion of terror and categorised Muslims as terrorists. Well that is absolutely not true. Islam is a religion of tolerance, understanding, forgiveness and acceptance … it is not a religion of terror and Muslims are not terrorists. “The only way for westerners to accept and understand Islam and Muslims is to come and live with us and amongst us. Once he [Obama] leaves his office at the White House, I offer President Obama to work in my law firm and then he would come and live amongst Arabs and Muslims and learn the exact meaning of tolerance.” The best way for others to understand the true meaning of tolerance in Islam is for them to mingle with and socialise more with Muslims in this region, said Bin Haidar. In the same context, he also tweeted in Arabic “I know my offer is a little bit weird, but you [Obama] have to live with Muslims to know them closely and away from political theatrics which are being spearheaded by the US”.
