B. Hussein Obama: Call to [Muslim] prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset”

Less than a year ago, he said this during the interview with The New York Times op-ed columnist Nicholas Kristof:

“I was a little Jakarta street kid,” he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office [...]. He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

That just freaking blows your mind, doesn't it?
