Good i think it is a good start to improve relations with the muslim world. The next step should be Muslim leaders apologizing for their intolerance and racism towards Westerners. Muslims need to be more accepting of different cultures and peoples.

The Reuters article says nothing about an apology. You are confusing an apology with DIPLOMACY. I know it's been a long time since you've seen diplomacy in action because of the previous administration, but it can be effective.

No, it doesn't, dear ergohead!
Arabs are not the whole muslim world! I'm an Azerbaijani and a muslim.
We are totally different than Arabs!!! Azerbaijan, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Albania are different than Arabs and Persians. You just don't know that. We dress like Europeans so you cannot define who is who. And Arabs mostly dress in a typical way.
We all are Muslims, but we are different. I totally don't accept Arabian and Iranian way of life and their behaviour. It's their culture, NOT requirements of Islam! And this is important to understand!

Thank you Paul, for speaking out. Westerners (myself included) are woefully ignorant of Islam and the Middle East in general...easier to lump every Muslim in with bin Laden. It's interesting that you disapprove of the Saudis...I've often wondered how other Islamic countries view the Saudi
Royal Family....are they legitimate in your opinion? You have no idea how
much more posts from you would enrich the forum, and I hope that you do
teach us all more. In the words of the immortal Marvin Gaye, "War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate."

Good points Salukifan. Muslims are also woefully ignorant of American culture and the West in general. Hopefully, Muslims will eventually learn to be more accepting of the West and different religions like Christianity. I hope Obama's speech will convince them that the United States is a friend and not an enemy.

It's about time an American president did that, on both counts.

Well, I guess it doesn't cost anything to hope, but I'm sure they see at least our Government close-up.


YouTube - The Guess Who-American Woman

American woman, said get away
American woman, listen what I say
Don’t come hangin’ around my door
Don’t wanna see your face no more
I don’t need your war machines
I don’t need your ghetto scenes
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be.
