Obama says U.S. earnest, reaching out to Muslim world 09 Nov 2010 13:57:02 GMT Source: Reuters

* Acknowledges still a long way to go in Muslim ties

* Tough talk for Israel on settlement report

By Patricia Zengerle

JAKARTA, Nov 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that Washington's effort to reach out to the Muslim world was earnest and would help improve U.S. security, although he acknowledged that there was still more work to do.

Obama arrived on Tuesday on a twice-postponed trip to Indonesia, the world's most populous majority-Muslim state. Before leaving on Wednesday, he plans a major speech reaching out to the Muslim world that would tout Indonesia as an example of an emerging democracy and tolerant society.

"With respect to outreach to the Muslim world, I think that our efforts have been earnest and sustained," he said at a joint news conference with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

"We don't expect that we are going to completely eliminate some of the misunderstandings and mistrust that have developed over a long period of time, but we do think that we're on the right path."

No, but when he got up off his knees (Muslim community) I believe he had to wipe off his chin...

The Grande Ghazi from the White House is using the most powerful seat in the world to empower his 9-11 brethren.

Simply unacceptable.

“Obama says U.S. earnest, reaching out to Muslim world”

Truly I don’t think he understands us, so I don’t think he can speak for us.

What a naive idiot Obama is.

What a devout Muslim Obama is. Islam means submission and he is all over that.

Reaching out to Muslims? What, exactly, does that mean? I'm OK with treating them like anybody else; I'm not OK with bowing to them, Sharia Law, or any other special privileges.

I live in an area with many Muslims. They are biding their time. Most have no intention of assimilating or tolerating. Like our President, not one of them has criticized Jihad, in any form. They seem to me to be “in-waiting.”

‘Tain’t the U.S., it’s just the U.S. President and a few lickspittle lackeys who’re reaching out to the barbaric, benighted, backward “Muslim world”.

Islam is the mortal enemy of western civilization. Our degenerate President is a collaborator.

Note to the Muslim world:

If you think this clown represents the opinion of the majority of the American people, you are dangerously mistaken.....

Our next POTUS will tell Islam in firm words and with complete and absolute conviction that Islam is NOT compatible with our ways. All of America should have a No Sharia law.

Besides Obama does NOT represent America, he failed to qualify and is nothing but a token political actor that cheated his way to be elected.

What else is a devout Muslim to do? Worldwide, the Muslims put religion before all else. and historically, they have gone into a country and followed the Koran--lie low until your numbers begin to grow. Then press hard to take over and put in Sharia . Take a look at Europe and GB. They are placating Muslims, have a huge # of Muslims on welfare, Muslims committing a large % of crime.

Thanks msm, minorities, egalitarian whites with a guilty conscience for voting in this poseur to be the white flag pres. of this once great nation--oh, yeah! and thanks again Juan McCan't for not really running and endorsing Obama (he would make a good president", etc.
