“A faction of the American and Western media has constantly profiled Islam as a religion of terror and categorized Muslims as terrorists,” Bin Haidar told Gulf news. “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.

In another tweet in Arabic, Haidar said he knew his offer was “a bit weird,” but Obama has to “live with Muslims to know them closely and away from political theatrics which are being spearheaded by the US.”

“Once he leaves his office at the White House, I offer President Obama work in my law firm and then he would come and live amongst Arabs and Muslims and learn the exact meaning of tolerance,” Haidar said.
