Obama chooses Arab network for first TV interview (WOW! America elects our 1st Muslim President)

President Barack Obama on Tuesday chose an Arabic satellite TV network for his first formal television interview as president, delivering a message to the Muslim world that "Americans are not your enemy."

The interview underscored Obama's commitment to repair relations with the Muslim world that have suffered under the previous administration.

The president expressed an intention to engage the Middle East immediately and his new envoy to the region, former Sen. George J. Mitchell, was expected to arrived in Egypt on Tuesday for a visit that will also take him to Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

"My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy," Obama told the Saudi-owned, Dubai-based Al-Arabiya news channel.

Obama said the U.S. had made mistakes in the past but "that the same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago, there's no reason why we can't restore that."

WOW! America elects our 1st Muslim President!

What, you just woke up? The guy knows the shahada perfectly, for crying out loud!

The Shahada is the Muslim declaration of belief in the oneness of God and acceptance of Muhammad as his prophet. The declaration reads: Lā ilaha illa al-Lāh, Muhammadun rasūlu l-Lāh “There is no god but God, Muhammad is the Messenger of God" in English. This declaration is called the Kalima, which literally means "words." Recitation of the Shahadah is the most important of the Five Pillars of Islam for Muslims and is performed daily. Non-Muslims wishing to convert to Islam do so by a public recitation of the creed.

Well he did say to george staphylococcus, “My muslim Religion”. Watch the clip... it was NO mistake and hussein did not make a mistake on the context like little georgie tried to help cover up for him with. He is a koran packing member of the death cult of islam.

It boggles my mind that someone can be this clueless. He’s going to make Jimmy Carter look like Winston Churchill.

The “WOW!” was to give it that special sarcastic effect.

"The interview underscored Obama's commitment to repair relations with the Muslim world that have suffered under the previous administration."

The deaths of over 3,000 people at the hands of representatives of "the Muslim world" had a wee bit to do with it. In addition, President Bush had a good working relationship with the leaders of Saudi, Jordan and Egypt.

Obama is an IDIOT as well as a liar and a Muslim coming out of the closet after all.

Yep. I've been warning people for months that he's going to make Jimmy Carter look competent.

And the interview will probably be conducted in Arabic without the use of interpreters. It is well known that the Prophet Obama (Peace Be Upon Him) is fluent in the Arabic language.

I hope you are preaching to the choir here. This should not be a surprise to anyone who has had any brain activity for the last couple of years.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know.

Islam is a religion of peace.

“Americans are not your enemy”.

America is not at war with islam, blah blah blah and so forth.

Well, Islam is a religion of peace and they have piles of
dead bodies to prove it.

America may not be their enemy, but they are ours.

And America may not be at war with Islam, but they sure are
at war with us!

Save it obama.

How’s this pablum different from the approach he’s been criticizing?

Next he’ll start sending money directly to the terrorists trying to kill us.

Obama promised to make a speech in his first hundred days from an Islamic capital.

I bet he chickens out and chooses some relatively safe “Islamic” capital like Tirana (Albania) or Tashkent (Uzbekistan) in a compromise that appeases no one.

We were aware of this "waste of good air's" muslimicity when first he announced his candidacy.

Why does this surprise any of us? Least of all, those unthinking fellow citizens?

By in large, the american public receives as political betters exactly what they deserve.

Welcome, one and all, to the "communiste states of obammica!"

I'll bet he does too. I'd say he'd be safe in the islamic capitol of Washingto DC, but there are too many guns there.

Perhaps he should pick another, more islamic captitol...say....ahh....San Francisco, Seattle, or his "hometown" of Chicago?

That should satisfy all the islamos...and anger the silly infidels!

Welcome, one and all, to the "communist states of obammica!"
