The Dream of Muslim Outreach Has Become a Nightmare

[Geee]

:

Affirming Muslim grievances has only increased the Arab world's sense that Obama is weak.

When President Obama entered office, he dreamed that his hope-and-change messaging and his references to his familial Islamic roots would win over the Muslim world. The soon-to-be Nobel Peace Prize laureate would make the U.S. liked in the Middle East. Then, terrorism would decrease.

But, as with his approach to racial relations, Obama’s remedies proved worse than the original illness.

 

Obama gave his first presidential interview to Al Arabiya, noting that he has Muslims in his family. He implicitly blamed America’s strained relations with many Middle Eastern countries on his supposedly insensitive predecessor, George W. Bush.

 

The new message of the Obama administration was that the Islamic world was understandably hostile because of what America had done rather than what it represented.

IMO- There are logical & reasonable Muslims...but they are silent because any dissent brings a death sentence from aggressive Wahhabist groups. Those groups prosecute their religion with death & horror, under strict Sharia law...and have done so, pretty much unabated, for 1,400 years. Modern & educated Muslims prosecute with politics & lawfare. Neither of these groups & even the logical, reasonable & peaceful Muslims...respect moderation & accommodation. They all see it as weakness & this is not a new concept...only a new idiocy that believes it will work...like socialism...because it's just never been done properly. Barky was never the smartest man in the room...only the most deluded activist.

Posted an interesting article in the "Christians on the Front Line of Muslim Violence" thread about Jews being the ones who are saving the Christians. Ironic isn't it.
