WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama’s aides say he is considering making a major foreign policy speech from an Islamic capital during his first 100 days in office.
So where should he do it? The list of Islamic world capitals is long, and includes the obvious —Riyadh, Kuwait City, Islamabad — and the not-so-obvious — Male (the Maldives), Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Tashkent (Uzbekistan). Some wise-guys have even suggested Dearborn, Mich., as a possibility.
Clearly it would be cheating for Mr. Obama to fly to Detroit, talk to Dearborn’s 30,000 Arab residents and call it a day. And Male and Ouagadougou, while certainly majority Muslim, can’t really be what Mr. Obama’s aides have in mind when they talk about locales for a high-profile speech that would seek to mend rifts between the United States and the broader Muslim world.
So Burkina Faso and the Maldives are out. But that leaves a whole swath of Islamic capitals, all ready to be spruced up for Mr. Obama to make his speech. I’ve thought hard about this, and asked a few people — diplomats even — which capital Mr. Obama should pick.
The consensus, after an entire day of reporting, is Cairo.

I pick Mecca. If they let him in, we’ll know what religion the Islamic world thinks he is.
“IF he goes to Mecca, the Secret Service better keep an eye out for Tom Tancredo. LOLOL”
If he goes to to Mecca the Secret Service should just quit before the trip.
April in Paris.
How about Deerborn Michigan?
I figured it would be Dearborn, Mi.
Or infidels.
That’s what I was thinking. He could line up every Muslim president by his side during his speech, and the only thing terrorists would think is that they were ALL infidels. These extremists don’t care what Obama thinks or says, they have a mission. Zero is going to learn and very soon, that he can decorate his speeches with pillars, symbolism, exotic geographical locations, and whatever other creative things he can come up with - but, in the end, his talk is useless and cheap. He needs a spoonful of reality.
Jakarta? Nairobi? Why were they not listed in first paragraph. He has history in Indonesia & Kenya.
Provided they sign the consent form to be beheaded..
Mend rifts? They call Muslim's war with the west a rift? Idiots. It's an all out battle for our survival. Yeah, we've got a "rift" with Islam, but it's NOTHING he can "mend." They want us all dead, and we want all of them dead. End of story.
...and declared himself God?
After all, he’s the one we’ve been waiting for.
More like slither out of the sacred well.
I apologize, but can you explain what a TROP is?
Mecca
take all the Democrats with you!
Bwahahahaahahahaha!!!!! This is going to be an “I told you so” administration.
No need for an apology.. TROP is an acronym for “The Religion of Peace”, as in “Islam is a religion of peace”..
GITMO
Absolutely, that’s a location that holds meaning to many. It’s erie imagining the news coverage of Obama’s cult like following fawing over every word with such a backdrop.
