CAIR Happy With Obama Speech

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has issued a statement on U.S. PResident Obama’s mideast policy speech, saying it set “the right tone’ referring only to the President’s comments on Mideast developments in general but not on his comments about the Israel-Palestinian conflict. According to the statement:

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 5/19/11) — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today said that President Obama’s speech this afternoon on the ‘Arab Spring’ freedom movements in the Middle East and North Africa sets the right tone but needs to be translated into policies and actions.

In a statement, CAIR’s Awad said:

‘We appreciate President Obama setting the right tone by applauding the recent freedom movements across the Middle East and North Africa, but the true test of our nation’s commitment to freedom and human dignity will be in translating this speech into actions and concrete policies. ’It is significant for the president of the United States to support the massive popular demonstrations for freedom and self-determination in the region, particularly since our country has supported some of the dictators who have been and are oppressing their people. ’The president made the important point that all people deserve human dignity and self-determination, and we support his intention to defend those universal rights.’”
