WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama’s aides say he is considering making a major foreign policy speech from an Islamic capital during his first 100 days in office.
So where should he do it? The list of Islamic world capitals is long, and includes the obvious —Riyadh, Kuwait City, Islamabad — and the not-so-obvious — Male (the Maldives), Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Tashkent (Uzbekistan). Some wise-guys have even suggested Dearborn, Mich., as a possibility.
Clearly it would be cheating for Mr. Obama to fly to Detroit, talk to Dearborn’s 30,000 Arab residents and call it a day. And Male and Ouagadougou, while certainly majority Muslim, can’t really be what Mr. Obama’s aides have in mind when they talk about locales for a high-profile speech that would seek to mend rifts between the United States and the broader Muslim world.
So Burkina Faso and the Maldives are out. But that leaves a whole swath of Islamic capitals, all ready to be spruced up for Mr. Obama to make his speech. I’ve thought hard about this, and asked a few people — diplomats even — which capital Mr. Obama should pick.
The consensus, after an entire day of reporting, is Cairo.

Tehran. With a Code Pink Honor Guard.
Obama should find a nice cave on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan and seek out Bin Laden. Surely, Osama BL could suggest some great places for Obama, born Islamic under
Sharia Law, to give his “Manchuarian Candidate” speech . . .
Yemen
Wouldn’t it be strangely surreal if he chose the Temple Mount...
He could announce he is building the New Babylon there, which would be the new capital of the world.
I hear Mogadishu and Nairobi are nice this time of year. And after all, they voted for Obama.
How about Peshawar or Islamabad...perhaps Kabul.
Heal the rift? Yeah, maybe you should talk with India about that rift.
Will he first crawl out of the sacred well?
Obama is a moron if he thinks talking to the islamics will change their minds about killing infidels. The NYT must be morons, too, if they think this is a serious possibility.
How about Crapistan?
No, they'll have a dhimmi embed.
Oh, my!!
LIke father, like son?
I’d suggest Cairo....more Islamic Militants there. He’d be speaking to Zawahiri’s Muslim Brotherhood buddies.
I’ve been to Indonesia and the southern Philippines about this time of year. Great beaches and food....
The question remains,,why?
TOP OF THE WORLD MA!
Whoooey, hoo boy, that really got me laughing!
“How about Mecca? Isn’t B. Hussein supposed to lap that big box thingy a bunch of times? I think the ritual calls for Obama to wear a sombrero, whistle dixie, do shots of Gin, and briefly pause every so often to do the macarena dressed as Porky Pig.”
LMAO!!!! Thank you for that! I have tears in my eyes...GOD but you provided some much-needed comic relief!!
