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 all the 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 Sydney Morning Herald, the USA Today, The Mirror and the LA Times.
