Islamic leader (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

emir

imam

'islamic leader' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for emir that I've seen before include "Title of various rulers; I'm ER (anag.)" , "Eastern chieftain" , "Leading role" , "Eastern ruler in mire" , "Eastern title" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The Mirror, the Sydney Morning Herald and the LA Times.
