As Muslims, let us begin by acknowledging that President Obama is saying all the right things, and hope that his words will soon translate into good deeds on the ground. He's only been in office just a few months, let's give him a little more time before we pronounce judgment on his performance.

As to the reaction across the border in India, it is well known many Indians loved Bush and cheered him on in his failed policies of war against the Muslim world. In fact, Bush's popularity was much higher in India than anywhere else, including the US. So it is not a surprise that many Indians do not like Obama's new and enlightened approach to find success in dealing with the Muslims.

I admire Obama for doing this speech. Brilliant speech, it was a fantastic speech.President Obama has been willing to speak hard truths over and over--in Philadelphia during his speech on race, at Notre Dame when he spoke about abortion, and now in Cairo as he described the state of relations between Muslims and America.
"Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall see God".
President Obama is a peacemaker and a good and honest man, and one of the most intelligent men ever to hold the presidency.
In a troubled world, a soothing sane voice indeed! Coming as it is from the most powerful man in the world, it is reassuring. As expected,President Obama has clearly laid out his vision in his speech. Obama's Cairo address to the Muslim world offered a 'vision of a better world.

The Mrikan policy towards Muslims and their wealth will remain unchanged no matter who talks or quotes the Qur'an dressed as a sympathizer!
