"It was extremely important that a president of the United States quoted the Qur'an's unequivocal condemnation of terrorism, through a verse that is particularly beautiful. This will go a long way to correct the propaganda unleashed by those who controlled the White House and influenced media before you."

Probably refering to Koran 5:32, a verse which, in context, justifies killing of Jews. Its now almost 8 years since the 9-11 atrocities and people still are using this verse without knowing what it says and the next verse.

#3 The conflation of Islam and Muslims is precisely the kind of misconception that encourages pre-nation-state fantasies like the revival of a caliphate.

Compassionate Orientalism?

#4 A majority of Indonesians believe that sharia laws will follow the establishment of islam on a global scale. They have a problem with sharia timing, not its authority. In any case, Indo law has to conform to the "injunctions of islam." Thus, sharia is the real basis, even if they don't hack off limbs of thieves or be-head blasphemers.

#5 You know I'm going to use my favorite word.....Pullllleeeeease?

Brother? "Dear Brother Hussain".....preamble, preamble, blah blah blah....
Brother? I guess the writer thinks false intimacy fostered by the word Brother in caps is preferable to rank and title when addressing the President of the United States. Which is good how? Obama may be an individual, but he still occupies an office with a title. Someone please enlighten me how this is okay?

People are the religion they are, does everyone seem to need their butts kissed these days or is it just me?
