This is a weird situation if the article is correct.

Slowly but surely this administration is becoming Islamically-Politically-Correct to please Islamists who will be right at our throats with blunt swords given a chance. It seems Karen Hughes seem to be doing a really terrific job of appeasing islamic countries and islamists' sentiments. She better start reading her quran a bit more attentively....

I am a former Muslim who recognize the hypocrisy and filth in Islam. Therefore, allow me to mention; it looks like this administration is simply bogus with its claims of spreading democracy if it is avoiding democratic Israel for the sake of appeasing(i.e becoming a Dhimmi for) Islamic terrorist/oppressive regimes.

After all, it is commonsense to relate to Israel than to the throat slitters and murderers of 3000 people on 9/11,destroyers of historical sites, murders of Children in Beslan and the funders(i.e Islamic countries) of Islamic Jihadi outfits.

Bush mentioned Israel just today, I am so tired of the media lies.

Karen Hughes is now speaking to Muslim groups, appeasement being the order of the day. Presumably it's about avoiding worldwide Jihad, which we already have...and the price of oil. What good will this do when Iran decides to set off a few nukes? Never mind, let's put up a few Muslim whackos in the Lincoln bedroom.

Israel is being given short shrift by foggy bottom because of its dealings with China mainly, but i'm sure it's also owing to the administration's attempt to work with the Arab oil producers in increasing output.
