Barack Obama Brings His Campaign Themes to Turkey, Muslim World

Middle East 'Detente'

Although I do not think President Obama's efforts will have an immediate effect on the way the middle-east views our country, I do think you need to applaud his efforts. We have a long way to go before the Muslim world in general will probably NOT view us as 'The Great Satan'. However, we have to start somewhere.

I read an interesting article which looks at the current situation from a slightly different perspective. The writer objectively views fundamentalist Islamic problems with the US from the angle of investing. He doesn't judge right or wrong, simply what the future holds for investments. You can read the article at: www.spearfinance.com (it is the article entitled - 'The Age of Jihad')

Here is hoping the Presidents continued efforts will bear some fruit over the years to come and to help close the divide between the Islamic world and the U.S.

Turkey in Turkey

Have the Muslims ever condemned publicly what the Muslim terrists do? I haven't seen any.

While campaigning Obama said Turkey committed genocide against the Armenians. He sure avoided saying anything when on their soil. He didn't dare upset the Turkish people, get kicked out of their country, and see his adoration ratings plummet!

Turkey and the Muslim World

Hey Larry from California, Turkey is not one of our enemies. They are one of our allies and if you don't understand what diplomacy is about then I'm sure you're a dyed in the wool Republican. Islam is not the enemy it's the fringe who are the problem. Not unlike the evangelist Christians in this country growing adolescents ready to kill for Christ. Ted from Arizona is obviously no brighter and just as bigoted. One of the big enemies put forth by the Republicans in the days before 911 was China but that didn't stop the Republicans from borrowing hundreds of billions to finance the Iraq war from China. And by the way, one of Bush's reasons way after the fact for waging the war in Iraq was to save the Iraquis most of whom are Sunni or Shiite members of Islam from persecution. So as is the case with most GOP, conservatives and christian evangelists your views are very hypocritical. When Bush did it, it was OK when a Democrat extends the olive branch he's giving away our nations security. He's also smart in trying to make peace with these people to build our base of allies. So which is it? Do you even know? Or do you just hate everyone who isn't white and Christian?

Obama

I am really scared; Obama is giving away some of our cherished freedoms for a one world-rule. It is scary. I hope saner heads rule in Congress.....but...if Nancy and Harry have their way, no such luck.

Arabs Cheer Obama Speech to Muslim World

I am so glad that my President is loved by my country's enemies.

May they will play nice now that President Obama is kissing their azz while he is destroying capitalism in America.

What a rookie!
