Muslims hope Obama speech will commit to action on a Palestinian state, show respect for Islam

Respect for Islam, a prescription for Palestinian statehood and assurances of a speedy U.S. pullout from Iraq — that's what Muslims from Morocco to Malaysia want to hear from President Barack Obama this week when he addresses them from this Arab capital.

His speech Thursday from Cairo University will try to soften the fury toward the United States among the world's 1.5 billion Muslims, ignited by the U.S. occupation of Iraq and the hands-off attitude toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict of his predecessor George W. Bush.

Obama's offer of a new beginning is seen as an attempt to stem the growing influence of extremists — particularly Iran, with its regional and nuclear ambitions — and to bolster moderate Muslim allies.

Respect isn’t given, it has to be earned.

First step is to have Jordan..., I mean Palestine acknowledge Israel's right to exist in that area of the Middle East.

If they can't agree to that as a first thing, nothing will come of anything except for giving a few billion to Hamas from Obama to kill Jews in Israel.
Eventually even liberal Jews might catch on to that here in the USA.
Maybe when hell freezes over?

I have yet to hear respect from any arab leader toward any other religion. It’s obviously a one-way street. Respect has to be mutual, otherwise it’s called submission.

They’re saying respect but they really mean subservient to Mohammedanism.

I expect that’s exactly what that un-american national embarrassment will give them.

When Israel is destroyed, the liberal Jews in the US will blame the US for not doing enough.

Muslims hope Obama speech will...show respect for Islam

The Muzzies, like gangsters, are obsessed with being shown "respect." ...probably because they know they don't deserve any.

Looks like Obama bowing to Abdullah and kissing his hand wasn't enough. ...nor was Obama's apology for the U.S. defending themselves after 9/11. They won't be satisfied until the U.S. officially replaces the Constitution with sharia law and Israel is a radioactive wasteland.

Th West's frantic and futile attempts to appease these cultists is having the preicse opposite effect -- it's convincing them that terrorism works.

Once the muzzies have a Palestinian State the conflict, hatred, and dedication to killing Jews will instantly come to an end.

Just like electing a black man to the USA presidency is ending racial preferences, race pimping and overt hatred toward American traditions here at home.

Since four of my digits are otherwise occupied, I'll salute with the one who's up for the occasion.

After Sept. 11, 2001, I have as much respect for Muslims as I have for abortion doctors.

I respect the islams just as much as they respect me...exactly the same. And I hope for them just exactly what they hope for me.

I am sure this sp[eech will be a humdinger.

It will start with an apology for all of us not bowing to Allah.
Then he will sell out Israel .

Is Michelle going ith him, or is that disallowed by the Islamics.?

Arabs do not respect Obama. Arabs do not respect African blacks. Arabs sell African blacks. Obama is on a fruitless, ridiculous, embarassing mission to the Arab world.

"Show respect for Islam"?

He already has. But in reality he has shown more than "respect". It is the fealty of a Muslim to the Protector of Mecca...
