Barack Obama extends his hand in friendship to the MuslimÂ
world. What are the chances that the gesture will be returned?
Atlas Shrugs:
 “AMERICA IS NOT – AND NEVER WILL BE – AT WAR WITH ISLAM”Â
Damn! Where did I hear s*#t like this before? You mean like, when Condolllleeeeza Rice issued a strongly worded statement attesting, “Disrespect for the Holy Koran is not now, nor has it ever been, nor will it ever be, tolerated by the United States…???”
                By His Own Definition, Obama Is A Failure…
In his typically anti-semitic fashion, Obama came down very hard on the Jews in his speech today to the Muslim world.
MK Aryeh Eldad in Israel said: Â “Obama makes a shocking parallel between the destruction of European Jewry and the suffering that the Arabs of Israel brought upon themselves when they declared war on Israel. Â Â If Obama does not understand the difference between them, perhaps he will understand it better when he visits the concentration camp in the comings days. And if he doesn’t understand it even there, then Islam will once again teach it to him, just as it taught his predecessor on 9/11.”
The moral equivalence did not end there. Obama equated “the two peoples”…More>>

NOTE:Â This speech is pivotal, and the importance attached to it makes it even more so, so we are going to keep it up top here for awhile. Â Please scroll down for updates.
Here is the text as prepared for delivery, provided by the White House, via USA Today, June 4 — with my (Robert Spencer’s) comments interspersed:
I am honored to be in the timeless city of Cairo, and to be hosted by two remarkable institutions. For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning,
…whose Grand Sheikh, Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi, has given his approval — on Islamic grounds — to suicide bombing.
and for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt’s advancement. Together, you represent the harmony between tradition and progress. I am grateful for your hospitality, and the hospitality of the people of Egypt. I am also proud to carry with me the goodwill of the American people, and a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: assalaamu alaykum.
According to Islamic law, a Muslim may only extend this greeting — Peace be upon you — to a fellow Muslim. To a non-Muslim he is to say, “Peace be upon those who are rightly guided,” i.e., Peace be upon the Muslims. Islamic law is silent about what Muslims must do when naive non-Muslim Islamophilic Presidents offer the greeting to Muslims.We meet at a time of tension between the United States and Muslims around the world – tension rooted in historical forces that go beyond any current policy debate. The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of co-existence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars. More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations. Moreover, the sweeping change brought by modernity and globalization led many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of Islam.
“Co-existence and cooperation”? When and where, exactly?
- Italy issues arrest warrants for five Muslims accused of targeting Milan, Bologna
- Arkansas jihadist had over 150 rounds of ammunition
- Arkansas jihadist had maps to Jewish organizations, a Baptist church, a child care center, a post office and military recruiting centers
- Obama struck by Saudi king’s “wisdom and graciousness”
