JERUSALEM – President Obama should act against the "denigration" of Islam in newspaper columns, on talk radio and in religious sermons nationwide, the national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, wrote in a letter to the president.
As Obama prepares for his much anticipated address to the Muslim world tomorrow, CAIR offered the president some tips on how to better foster dialogue and understanding with Islam.
"Prior to the 9/11 attacks, Islamophobia of the type we see today was at the margins of public discourse," wrote CAIR's Nihad Awad.
"Unfortunately, today it is quite common to see and hear the faith of Islam denigrated in newspaper columns, on talk radio and in religious sermons nationwide. Few in the Muslim world will listen to our calls for openness and reform while the faith they hold dear is being vilified," he wrote.
Awad called for Obama to act on the issue.
"Silence on this growing phenomenon is un-American and betrays the values of inclusiveness and religious tolerance that we all hold dear."

Oh.... I forgot. Our POTUS is saying exactly the same thing to the global world easily-offended “Ummah” even as we listen.
