Is BHO trying to designate America as Dar al Islam?

AOW, that’s the question I was alluding to my question 4) when I wondered which “house” Barack was identifying the U.S. as inhabiting. Something we should be aware of too as we try to project the Administration’s future policies.

Is BHO trying to designate America as Dar al Islam? Something to consider in all of this, I think.

Apologizing in the Muslim world will accomplish nothing.

Apologizing is regarded in the muslim world as a sign of weakness. Not only won’t it accomplish anything, it may even make things worse.

In that same vein, does the phrase “I am a jelly donut!” ring a bell? I wonder how many Arabs in the world are hearing (metaphorically) that Big Zero and the United States are jelly donuts?

Apology tours are wearing thin – even in the Islamic world. Obama had several objectives for His trip ( http://firstconservative.com/blog/political-humor/political-humor-obama-abroad
) but the most significant of these was to ease Muslim distrust of America.

Apologizing in the Muslim world will accomplish nothing. Surrendering Israel to those that want another holocaust just might make the radicals happy – at least for a while. After Tel Aviv, New York is pretty high on the target list.
