Rick Wiles: Obama Protecting ISIS, 'May Be The Islamic Mahdi'

Last year, “Trunews” host Rick Wiles predicted that President Obama would “declare himself as God(link is external).” But yesterday Wiles floated a different idea(link is external) of who the president really is: the Mahdi(link is external).

After arguing that Obama is allowing “his ISIS buddies to behead and crucify Christians,” Wiles said he’s “starting to believe that Mr. Obama may be in fact the Islamic Mahdi, the eleventh [sic] imam who comes to fulfill the ministry of the prophet Mohammad. He is a very evil, wicked and dangerous man.”

Wiles may need to take a class in Islamic theology, as he seems to believe that Obama is simultaneously an ISIS-supporting Sunni Muslim(link is external) and a Twelver Shiite Muslim(link is external).

Wiles also insisted that the U.S. government “tipped off” ISIS fighters about sites targeted by the U.S.-led coalition’s airstrikes in Syria and Iraq “before the American bombers got there.”
