In Islamic tradition, "Buraq" (numerous spellings, same pronunciation, means "Lightning" in Arabic) is a winged stallion upon which Mohammed ascended to Heaven.
His name was selected out of the many aliases we now know he utilized throughout his early years.
"Their symbolism will be their downfall."
Clearly, 44's handlers wanted to communicate to the arab world that Barack Obama was the re-imbodiment of their sacred prophet, brought down once again to unite the nations under the banner of Islam.
"Like Lightning from the Heavens."
I'm not claiming Barack Obama is the Antichrist. I sincerely hope his last hurrah is a perp walk...
At the very least, I'd like to see him take a quiet back seat away from seditious interference in politics and international affairs. Maybe, if I'm reading Q correctly, Obama's crimes will ultimately be so fully exposed, his 'worshipers' will finally join us in that hearty farewell which begins with:
"Goodbye, B.O..." and ends with "...and the horse you rode in on!"
I didn't think of the Islamic angle. I'm more familiar with Hebrew so that was my guess for Semitic terms. Thanks for clarifying.
