(AP) — WASHINGTON - Barack Obama began on Day One of his presidency to "reboot" America's damaged relationship with the world's 1.5 billion Muslims. With this week's Mideast trip and long-promised speech in Cairo, he takes a perilous leap into the effort.

It's a big gamble.

As Obama prepares to leave Washington on Tuesday for stops in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, followed by a jaunt through Europe, the president and his advisers see an urgent need to try to reverse animosity toward the U.S. felt among Muslims around the globe.

I reject the premise...

The reason why our “relationship” has been “as opposed to their insistence on converting or killing Christians and Jews. So naturally, the Death Cult Left blames America for being intransigent.

The reason why our “relationship” has been “damaged” is our silly little insistence on human rights, and their insistence on converting or killing Christians and Jews. So naturally, the Death Cult Left blames America for being intransigent.

The Obamaloon’s outreach to the muznuts will result in the same outcome as Charlie Brown’s attempt to actually kick the football held by Lucy.

This is what muslims want to hear from obama. Anything less will be taken as insult.

Please kill us, rape our daughters and enslave us. Please keep doing what you have been doing since islam was invented. We will not look at as cruelty to unbelievers, but as muslims fulfilling their holy duties. And we will not question it.

We promised not to fight back anymore. We will not point out the huge flaws of islam anymore and silence those who do. We will live under sharia law in America.

We will give you all our money.

I get on my knees and beg for your mercy.

There is no god but allah and mohemend was his butt monkey (I just couldn't say the rest).

A reboot of the oath - re-taking it on a koran - the muslim bastard.

“To the Muslim world, I hereby say as President of the United States of America.........that we apologize for fighting back after your extremists, funded by you sitting in this room, attacked our country. We were wrong to take up arms against your fine, noble religion. We asked for that and other attacks on our citizens, and you had ample reason to hate us. Please......please.......forgive our arrogance and find it in your hearts to forgive us. We are not a Christian nation nor a Jewish one; I think, therefore, that there is ample room for us to embrace Islam and join your brotherhood under Allah, praise be to his name.”

Author Loven was named by one British newspaper as the number one arsekisser in the Washington press corps. Her knowledge of the Middle East is what she learned from watching Tony Curtis movies.
