Egyptian presidential candidate: 'World must convert to Islam'

From the He Said It Department: "'World must convert to Islam,'" from
MWEB, with thanks to VBT:

Cairo - Osama Shaltut claims to descend from the Prophet Mohammed
and the centrepiece of his campaign for the Egyptian presidency is 
a promise to convert the entire world to Islam.

The 66-year-old leader of the Solidarity Party, who wears a broad
smile and a neatly-trimmed beard, does not like wasting time.

"Why wait?" he asks. "The whole world should convert to
Islam.Now."

Shaltut, the only Islamist candidate in Egypt's September 7 presidential 
election, nevertheless knows he will have to wait before he can unseat 
President Hosni Mubarak, who is widely expected to be re-elected....

His programme, he says, is threefold.

"First, let's gather the leaders of all religions. Then, let's
apply their principles and assess the results... Finally, let's
proclaim the victory of Islam."

But Shaltut admits such a process "would take around 10 years", so
he advocates a universal conversion to Islam to speed things up and
"for the good of humanity".
