#5  I remember when the founder of"American Muslims Louie Farakan (Sp) went to Africa, and the muslim leaders refused to see him because "He wasn't BLACK enough"

I hope to see the same metaphorical slap in the face given the Big Zero.

#4  "If he is smart, he will forget about going near any Muslim capital until Al Qaeda has been eliminated."

So, he will very soon go to a Muslim capital.

#3  Given that he is a former Muslim that became a Christian, he qualifies as an apostate (i.e. worse than a "mere infidel"). If he is smart, he will forget about going near any Muslim capital until Al Qaeda has been eliminated.

#1  Tipper,

There are so many opportunities for in line enhancement in this article

He believes a personal initiative will dramatise his wish to reassure Muslims, and intends to give a speech in an Islamic capital during his first 100 days in office as a sign of his engagement.

He has not said where. Egypt and Pakistan are obvious possibilities, but there has been speculation that he could choose Indonesia, the worldÂ’s most populous Muslim nation, where he spent part of his childhood.


I suspect no one will be more disappointed in the Obama presidency than The One himself. He should remember what happened to the original Messiah when the powers that be figured out what he really meant.
