Muslim students at the University of Utah were generally pleased with President Obama's speech in Cairo.
From the Daily Utah Chronicle
Many Muslim students at the U had the opportunity to listen, watch or read President Barack Obama's address the Muslim world at Cairo University on June 4. And the overall reaction is positive.
“I tell you man, Barack Obama has a way with words,” said Abdul Ali, a freshmen in economics.
Obama talked about a “new beginning” and a “first step to peace in the Muslim World.”
Najib Amiri, president of the Muslim Student Association and a senior in genetics, knows a thing or two about the Middle East's unrest. Amiri was born in Afghanistan. When the Taliban rose to power, he and his family fled to Pakistan, where they lived for seven years. They later immigrated to Utah.
“As a Muslim in America, it really felt positive,” he said, having heard the president's speech over the radio. “It just accomplished peace and harmony…something that didn’t happen in the previous presidency.”

Says it all.
“first step to peace in the Muslim World.”
And are the second and third steps abandonment of Israel and institution of sharia in the U.S.?
And in other news...
Yeah a thumbs up the ying yang.
Well, then he can count it as a success and on to step #5943 in The Plan.
“It just accomplished peace and harmony…something that didn’t happen in the previous presidency.”
What DID occur during and because of the previous presidency was the overthrow of the Taliban, the reason for which you fled to Pakistan and then here. Taliban are out of power, knuckledragger. Go home.
I’m sure that the Nazis in England appreciated Chamberlain’s speeches, too. Muslims do not have America’s interest at heart. If they’re for it, I’m against it.
Sorry about that buddy... But Bush was too busy keeping the US safe, the country that your family immigrated to, to get away from oppression and a lifestyle of fear. The country that is giving you an education right now (even if it is more like a democrat boot camp). Bush didn't pander to any certain groups, he was keeping AMERICANS safe!
I feel much better about the speech after reading that...
