Obama names special envoy to global Islamic group

This is so bass-ackwards...I think it is the global islamic community who must restore the faith and confidence of the US...What the heck is Obama thinking!!!!???

I agree with sharky. It's the world's Muslims who need to make efforts to repair relations with the U.S.

"What the heck is Obama thinking!!!???"

The man-child thinks the U.S. is to blame for the world's problems and bad relations with Muslims.

Sorry Sarge, he's not the only one. Many here on JT think the same thing. He's only towing a line of muslim appeasment. There will be no solution as the muslim world already does not trust the US and even celebrated after 9/11. I think we should just not trust this bunch at all. I mean why is a "special envoy" needed at all? To appease. that is why. We are becoming more and more like Britain. This has to stop.

One person gets employment and US unemployment count is down by one, that is the only significance.

Screw pride. If the US wants to undermine Muslim support to Al-Qaeda, they'll gonna have to do stuff unconventionally.

You all over estimate Muslims. I grew up with muslims in both, the US and Middle East, and the majority of these peopele only care for is food to eat, place to sleep, and a little fun at the end of the day.

None of them care about- taking over the world, jihad, politics, advancement, climate. They live for today with yesterday in mind.

Seriously think about it, if a good portion of 1.5 billion muslims or 300+ million Arabs thought like most of you think they think, don't you think things would be a tad worse than they are?

GWB appointed a similar envoy, as the story says. Was he being 'bass-ackwards'? If you believe so, then that's fine, but if not, that makes you a blind Obama-hater.

Silly Obama still thinks the force of his personality will magically win the war on terror.
