NEW YORK – President Obama delivers a second speech to the Muslim world this week, but less than three years after they overwhelmingly voted for him, American Muslims are disappointed with his administration—and some are even nostalgic for George W. Bush.

((snip))

It’s not just foreign policy. Across the board, Muslims are expressing disappointment with Obama’s progress on issues relevant to them in the domestic policy realm. What they express is not so much anger as disillusionment, a recognition that the president hasn’t remade the political landscape for Muslims. (American Muslim opinions mirror international opinions. A Pew survey released Tuesday finds that citizens in majority Muslim countries remain skeptical of Obama.)

As soon as I saw that CAIR was quoted as representing the Muslim community I new that this was a terrorist appeasement piece. President Bush did us a disservice when he enabled this terror supporting group to be recognized as representing Muslims. The truly peaceful Muslims, who we rarely hear from, were silent and are silent on disassociating themselves from CAIR.
CAIR is a Terrorist front group but is is too frequently a spokes group for American Muslims. Is there a prominent, well known peaceful Muslim leader?

‘’Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, and seize them,
beleaguer them and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war...” (Quran
9:5) || “O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for
friends; for they are friends but of each other; and whoever amongst you
takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does
not guide the unjust people.” (Quran 5:51)

They all read the same book! n/s
