Obama's Interview with Muslim Media
A great communicator and unifying figure.
7:32 long. Obama speaks from about 1:30 to 4:30.
Reza Aslan speaks at about 6:00. He's amazing.
Interesting that America was respected for being the only Western power without a colonial past.
Reza: "He's setting himself up as a bridge between the West and the Middle East. . . .I'm sure that . . . . Bin Laden [is] scrambling to answer this comment. When the President of the U.S. says 'my family is Muslim,' how do you respond to that?"

You have been blogging up a storm these last few days. I felt compelled to post a whole pile in order to keep up.
ReplyDeleteI like all this talk about respect. Finally. Treat people like people and they respond as such.
ReplyDeleteWhat's that Norwegian proverb that Sherilyn says? I think it goes something like, "In every woman there is a queen. Speak to the queen and the queen will answer."
