Reaching out to Muslims around the world, President Barack Obama used a taped video address on Saturday to make the surprise announcement that Rashad Hussein, deputy associate White House counsel, will serve as a special U.S. envoy to the 57-nation Organisation of the Islamic Conference.
Obama made the announcement about his pan-Islamic overture to delegates at the U.S.-Islamic World Forum, an annual event hosted by the Saban Center at Brookings and the Government of Qatar.
The OIC calls itself "the collective voice of the Muslim world," working "to safeguard and protect the interests of the Muslim world in the spirit of promoting international peace and harmony among various people of the world."
"Appointing a special envoy to the OIC is an important part of the president's commitment to engaging Muslims around the world based on mutual respect and mutual interest," an administration official said
Is he like Obama’s cousin or something?

You can WATCH: President Obama;s address by video Saturday to the U.S.-Islamic World Forum in Doha, Qatar.
In it, he announces “that I am appointing my Special Envoy to the OIC [Organisation of the Islamic Conference] -Rashad Hussain. As an accomplished lawyer and a close and trusted member of my White House staff, Rashad has played a key role in developing the partnerships I called for in Cairo. And as a hafiz of the Qur’an, he is a respected member of the American Muslim community, and I thank him for carrying forward this important work.”
He should name an envoy to the American people...
Rashad Hussein. . .gee; they share a common name. Well, what should one expect having ‘Obama Hussein’ Barak a sitting President. . .Reap/Sow. . .and we continue to; in the worst of ways.
“Does Obama have a Christian envoy?”
Reverend Wright, Reverend Al Sharpton and Reverend Jesse Jackson.
Do we have any non-black, non-Arabic envoys to represent the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish faiths? OF COURSE NOT!
“He should name an envoy to the American people...”
Excellent — quote of the day!

MORE LIKE HIS BROTHER IN THE TWELFTH IMAM.
“Is he like Obama’s cousin or something?”
No I think Sadam’s cousin ... Ala Akbar!!!!!!!
Just wondering why the radical left loves radical jihadis so much.
The radical left hates Jews. Radical Jihadis hate Jews. Therefore...
Any possible way to find out how big a paycheck this muzzy gets for his fight against America?
Our nation is so screwed!
He may have been raised Muslim, but I doubt he is still one. Because for much of his life, he hung arond with Communists and other radical Leftists, like Frank Marshall Davis, and they tend to be atheists, or at least non-religious. In fact, Barry himself admitted in one of his books that he shared his mother’s skepticism towards religion.
Middle America just keeps getting reminders from the White House...just exactly WHO this new generation of Democrats are.
