I agree with this article. Obama’s appeal to the Arab and Muslim world isn’t realistic.
Obama’s Outreach To Muslims Won’t Achieve Goal
The decision by President Obama to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay and open a dialogue with the Muslim world is unlikely to achieve its principal objective, which is to undermine the appeal of al-Qaida. The reason for this is that attacks like Sept. 11, 2001, spring from deep spiritual causes and are not the result of American political behavior.
In his interview with the Arabic television station, al Arabiya, Obama missed the moral dimension of the struggle with terrorism completely. He said that the U.S. has “not been perfect” in its dealings with the Arab world (who has?) and all too often started off by dictating.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Obama is naive and doesn’t realize, you are dealing with a different civilization.
