IPT News January 23, 2009 During the transition, aides to President Barack Obama indicated he wanted to travel to a Muslim capital and deliver a speech early in his administration. Improving relations to the Muslim world is a goal he stated Tuesday in his inaugural address:
"To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West, know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy."
In anticipation of the President's planned speech, the Investigative Project on Terrorism asked two anti-Islamist Muslims for their input about what he should say. Their essays reflect their opinions and not necessarily those of the IPT.

"Their essays reflect their opinions and not necessarily those of the IPT."
Wrong.
What mutual goals? Subjugating freedom-loving Americans?
“Obama indicated he wanted to travel to a Muslim capital and deliver a speech...”
Dearborn?
I thought it was Dearborn in Michighanistan. But what do I know?
Zero, you mucking foron, the ragheads want us DEAD! Do you understand DEAD? You are from Chicago. If you don't understand DEAD, where you wuz?
Ultimitely, it is a good idea to speak at a Muslim capital city as long as he speaks from a position of power and not capitulation because in the long run radical Islamic terrorism will not be defeated without the help of modern modorate Islamic counties if any such animal really exist
It’s worth a shot as long as we always keep an understanding we can own them if need be
A bit off topic:
Thanks to Mr. Jasser for being forthright about “THE THIRD JIHAD”

“...as long as he speaks from a position of power and not capitulation...”
OPINION:
That is the money quote, Popman.
I don’t believe Obama understands how to speak from a position of power.
He is a man who was elected (by the willfully ignorant) to lead this country.
Hopefully, someone will hire a good speech writer for him.
A simple “FOAD” would suffice, thank you.
“know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.”
“Wrong.”
That was my exact first thought, too.
