"I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect," he said. "America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition."
Well Mr President, I'm all for a new beginning. I'm all for a mutual respect and veneration for for all religions around the world. It's just that the discord with Muslim countries around the world hasn't been one of harmony, fairness, veneration. You're absolutely right, we don't need religious competition. We don't need exclusivity. What we need is an absence in blinded hate, an absence of bred intolerance, and a thirst to kill those infidels who believe a in different God. I'm not sure reciting a few lines from the Koran, using your Muslim middle name during your international introductions, and declaring the United States a Muslim country is going to ameliorate the hatred that is deep seeded in the minds and hearts of people across the world. I believe that Americans are willing to accept and start again with a peaceful and God-fearing Islam, but extremists' heinous acts are hard to forgive and I'm not sure that the peaceful populous is strong enough to set precedence. An abused dog will only come back to you so many times.
