EDITORIAL: Muslim wars: A new beginning: Obama ignores the hard issues about Islam
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/nov/10/muslim-wars-a-new-beginning/
Speaking from his boyhood home of Jakarta, Indonesia, yesterday, President Obama said, "America is not, and never will be, at war with Islam." His talking point misses the point because Islam is at war with America.
The White House billed the event as a follow-up to Mr. Obama's June 2009 Cairo speech "attempting to soothe historic tensions between America and Muslim communities around the world." The president reiterated the messages of his earlier address, in which he called for a "new beginning" in U.S.-Muslim relations. This new beginning, however, has run into the same old problems. After a brief burst of enthusiasm early in his first year, Mr. Obama's approval ratings in the Muslim world have sunk to those of his predecessor, George W. Bush, who launched wars against Muslim countries. . . . .
