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
That explains where the "57" came from when Obama said the US had 57 states.
Is this where the "57 state" remark came from?
“Obama names Islamic envoy”
“Bo” again?
How about “Mo”? That should resonate in the islamist world.
How come the POS.POTUS didn’t bow like that before the King of Norway?
“Mutual Respect”.
Yep. You can’t make this sh_t up.
Islam is not a religion. It’s a politic masquerading as a religion. bam was trained as an imam.
we found obama’s 57 states!
“Just wondering why the radical left loves radical jihadis so much.”
because they all have a common enemy -
“typical Americans” (quotemark “typical Americans”)
the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so they say.
>bam was trained as an imam.
Where’d you hear that?
If it’s a violation of the Establishment Clause to have a town Christmas Tree or manger scene, or prayer in public schools, then it should damn sure be a violation to have an official U.S. government envoy to an organization calling itself “the collective voice of the Muslim world,” and working “to safeguard and protect the interests of the Muslim world.”
Read up on the muslim private school his stepfather enrolled him in.
Obama bin ladin.
I guess that's where Obama's "57 states" comes from. His true allegiance. His true nation.
I see dollars flowing from islamic countries into Obama’s coffers....or pockets.
He is obviously anti Christian on things in general, and seems to love and adore all things Muslim.
He certainly has divided loyalties. Himself first of course.
Only god knows his heart, and has allowed this circumstance to the American people due to our extreme immorality at so many levels that we hardly notice IE the prime time TV shows that have/are coarsening our brains/minds, and we just laugh at them. The youth particularly.
God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen..
>He is obviously anti Christian on things in general
Except for Black Liberation Theology, a la Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
>and seems to love and adore all things Muslim.
Maybe it’s a relic of his stepdad, or maybe he sees them as fellow Third WOrlders.
>He certainly has divided loyalties. Himself first of course.
Ultimately, I suspect that his main Holy Trinity is Me Myself and I.
>Only GOd knows his heart.
True that.
