"Obama wants to try 'rebooting US image' amongst Muslims"
Associated Press ^ | Dec 10, 2008 | AP staff

Posted on 12/10/2008 3:51:13 PM PST by Baladas

US President-elect Barack Obama will try to "reboot America's image" among the world's Muslims and will follow tradition by using his entire name, Barack Hussein Obama, in his swearing-in ceremony, he was quoted as saying in an interview published Wednesday in the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times.

He pledged anew to give such a speech, though he declined to say whether it would happen during his first year in office.

"It's something I intend to follow through on," Obama said in the interview.

"We've got a unique opportunity to reboot America's image around the world and also in the Muslim world in particular. So we need to take advantage of that."

Obama said his message would be two-fold: that his administration will be unyielding in stamping out terrorist extremism but also "unrelenting in our desire to create a relationship of mutual respect and partnership with countries."

"I think the world is ready for that message," he said in the interview, conducted Tuesday.

During the campaign, Obama repeatedly faced questions about whether he is a Muslim, particularly in whisper campaigns that noted his middle name, that his father is Kenyan, and that he lived for a time as a child in Indonesia.

Perhaps rebooting the US as a Muslim Nation would help, but short of that...

I just wonder if he will be bringing his presidential prayer mat with him, and will it have a seal on it.

How about muslims re-boot (or just boot) their image by condemning radical Islamists and leading by example how to be good citizens of the world.

Obama is an ignorant fool if he thinks Muslims would ever accept Western ways. Civilization for them is out of the question.

You got a point. The “man” shows much reverence and shame for the benefit of muslims. They must be elated in terrordom... or should I say terror-soddom.
