White House Consulted American Religious Leaders on Muslim Speech

Very well balanced speech, as evidenced by infuriating extremist Jews and Muslims, and Christians for that matter, alike. Nothing gets under a radical's skin so much as sensibility and moderation!

How can people with simple minds and limited knowledge claim a God is is so great? Simple minds can only come up with simple thoughts......Just for the record..." good Muslim" is one who submits to "The God's ( Allah's) Will", nothing more, nothing less....when are people going to stop reacting on emotion and look at facts....arrogance is an ugly thing and it makes you do stupid things...as great as some people beleive they are....Take time out to research and study history before making comments.....it may help invoke intelligent discussion....this other stuff is getting boring.....Only God has the power to judge.....

It's a false dichotomy, just ask the makers of Fitna, the film that directly quotes many, many Koranic verses urging murder and mayhem on unbelievers. Better yet, ask Khomieni: "Islam grew with blood!" Romney already blew one run at the White House with his janus-faced jawboning, is he going to launch attempt #2 by parroting the old Bush canard that Islam is a religion of peace?

What a crock of bull! Who really, is going to buy Obama's
sale. He is making war on the Union of American States and
posturing himself abroad as a good Muslim!
He will only encourage the Holy War and help solidify the image that the West has become soft and weak, ripe for the taking.
Obama is not centered in Western Civilization nor does he have a good grasp of the foundations of the American Republic.
His informative education in Foreign schools is showing;
notwithstanding, Harvard. He is not a good representative
of the American Republic; her history nor her value system.
Obama will either mark a rejuvenation of traditional Americanism or mark the decline of our Western Civilization!
Gov. Romney, we are calling for help, before Obama destroys
the Union; destroys the American currency and plunges into a second rate power, behind China and the Middle East!

I see no real point in his outreach to Muslims. Muslim terrorists killed 3,000 of our fellow Americans on September 11, 2001. We should be reaching out to our traditional allies like Israel and Great Britain, not to people who hate us.

Barack Hussein Obama, Court Jester, continues to embarass the United States.

Obama is going to speak in Cairo, and what should we expect? First of all, speak to the Muslim world, not just Arabs. Arabs are only 20% of Muslims and many others are in Pakistan, Indonesia, Africa, and India. There are differences in Shia and Sunni, but their number 1 concern - a solution to Palestine followed by actions, not rhetoric. Israel must stop settlements and accept a Palestinian State, and Hamas must accept a peaceful coexistence with Israel.

I think that our president should talk alot about the importance of good will and cooperation in any true desire for peace anywhere in the world....without goodwill and a sincere desire to cooperate and work together there is no peace and the quarrells will continue...untill the auto industry learns how to be self reliant on energy and we can kiss the oil cartel goodby......
