ANKARA, Turkey, April 6 -- President Obama made his most direct outreach to Muslims around the world Monday, telling Turkey's Grand National Assembly that the United States "is not and never will be at war with Islam."
"Our partnership with the Muslim world is critical in rolling back a violent ideology that people of all faiths reject," Obama told the assembly. "The future must belong to those who create, not those who destroy. That is the future we must work for, and we must work for it together."

During his campaign, Obama consistently played down connections to Islam, rarely mentioning his middle name, Hussein, or his childhood years in an Indonesian state school. The tactic helped fuel false Internet-driven rumors that Obama, a Christian, had once been Muslim. But in his appearance Monday, the president noted the contributions that Muslim Americans have made to the United States, saying that many Americans "have Muslims in their family, or have lived in a Muslim-majority country."

"I know," Obama said, drawing applause from the lawmakers, "because I am one of them."

There is no doubt that all this bootlicking, bowing and scraping and a** kissing to Islam is making the rounds in the Islamic world. No doubt they are getting the message.
I would love to see a webcam shot of a cynical WashPost editor smirking while writing these ludicrous headlines.
Yup.
Tangential question: How do boots taste? .. Maybe we should ask Obama.
Nah! Zero is a fudgepacker.
The Headline shouold read:
"In Turkey, Obama Reaches AROUND to the Muslim World."
Thats more accurate IMHO.
Zero be takin it big time from the rear.
Bush essentially said the same thing.
Last Sunday being Palm Sunday, I saw no reports of our Christian President going to any services, did any one else? Maybe I missed it...
This guys talking in code. THEY understand.
No he did not. He was waaay overly nicey nice about Islam. But he never said what 0bama the steaming pile said - “I’m one of them”, never bowed down to the Saudi King, and never praised Islam as fulsomely.
I think that Bush said nice things about Islam for political reasons and because he is (too) nice a man. I disagreed with Bush about many things and his niceness about Islam is one of them. But IMO his statements about Islam were because the US was working with Muslim countries.
0bama the steaming pile, OTOH, is quickly trying to destroy the US, not protect it in any way. As imperfect and faulty as Bush was, he was a noble leader and great man compared to the lying steaming pile thug jihadi sympathizer commie bisexual crackhead lying fraud going by the name of 0bama.
Since 0bama and his consort the Black Widow Spider quit going to Jeremiah Wrights’ Church of Hate Whitey, they never attend any church. They aren’t even pretending to be Christians. I suppose at least they aren’t duplicitous about it; unlike Clintoon carrying the huge Bible to church during the Lewinsky stuff.
Doesn’t The Zero realize that the only “peace” Islam accepts is when the whole world is Muslim?
I’m sure he is well aware of that.
It is true, we are not at war with Islam, just RADICAL Islam
where I dissagree is that Islam does not denounce RADICAL Islam and that makes them complicit, and guilty of aiding and abetting terrorism within their "culture"
No taxation without *documented* representation.
PING
This is Obama putting the Muslims on notice that it is now safe to take over America.
Bush didn't bow, he just held hands with King Abdullah.
