Obama in Egypt
by John Romano“I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”
What part of the Constitution gives that responsibility to our commander and chief?
We didn’t do this kind of “outreach” before 9/11. Whether we want to admit it or not, today was a huge dose of appeasement to the radical wing of Islam. We got sucker punched in 2001 and in a way today proved that the said sucker punch was effective.
Forgive me for being harsh or cynical, but I’ve yet to see an example in history where appeasement didn’t lead to further pain and misery for the appeaser.
There are many millions of Muslims around the world working for peace. That is true. Those Muslims already know the truth about America and how good freedom is for the world. Of what purpose did today’s speech serve to them?
The President claims that the extremists of Islam are driving a wedge between the West and Islam. The question is what qualifies as extreme to President Obama?
It is a dangerous game to go to Egypt, a place where political dissidents are jailed at will, and offer an olive branch to an ideology that has caused the death of so many Westerners. Is it not extreme for the rulers of Saudi Arabia to prohibit Christian churches? Is it not extreme for the Iranian government to call for Israel’s destruction on a daily basis? Let’s not even mention the rights of women, criminals, and gays under Islamic governments.
Offering a de facto apology for America’s reaction to 9/11 (Iraq, Gitmo, etc.) while only symbolically taking the Islamic world’s governments to task on human rights is a terrible mistake in my book.
Today’s speech may embolden our enemies. They will find a way to either get angrier with the United States and the moderate Arab regimes (if you want to call them that) or see today as a sign of genuine weakness of American willpower in the Middle East and get ready for another round of terror.
Liberty and freedom will prevail in this world. The question is: how much needless suffering will take place before radical and intolerant Islam is ultimately defeated?
