Obama has made a special effort since taking office to repair U.S. relations with the world's Muslims, including visits to Turkey and Cairo. In a June speech at the Egyptian capital, as well as in one to another important Muslim audience, in Turkey, Obama said: "America is not -- and never will be -- at war with Islam."

Obama also released a video message to Muslims before the start to Ramadan. In the video, he said Ramadan's rituals are a reminder of the principles Muslims and Christians have in common,including advancing justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.

He's a politician. What do you expect, particularly following his Apology Tour '09?

What apology?

It sure seems that there are a lot of wingnuts who really want to be upset about Obama, but can't really find anything of substance. Perhaps that's what happens to people when they spend 8 years defending a moron like Bush. When that pressure is removed, they feel the need to retaliate, in spite of the fact that there's nothing to complain about.

Hence idiotic threads like this one.

Well, he did study Islam when he attended Muslim school in the Philippines under the name Berry Soetoro, so he should know a great deal about it and be qualified to make such a determination.
