Obama in good standing as Ramadan begins

Egyptian fruit sellers name best dates in tribute to U.S. president

updated 1:48 p.m. MT, Fri., Aug 21, 2009

CAIRO - For the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Egyptian fruit sellers have named their best dates of the year after President Barack Obama in a sweet tribute to the American leader for his outreach to the Muslim world.

Dates are a traditional food for Ramadan — which begins Saturday in most of the Islamic world — since the Prophet Muhammad is said to have used them to break the month's sunrise-to-sunset fast each evening.

During the lunar month of Ramadan, observant Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, smoking and sex from sunrise to sunset. It is believed that God began revealing the Quran to Muhammad during Ramadan, and the faithful are supposed to spend the month in religious reflection, prayer and remembrance of the poor.

Yeah, I fail to see how someone would actually get paid for such an irrelevant news story or why someone would take the time to investigate the practices of Egyptian fruit sellers.

We should all be glad that Obama has reached out to parts of the Islamic world.

Dialogue and mutual understanding can go along way toward healing the past administrations blunders.

Completely agree Sunni Man. Obama's programme of repairing relationships with the Muslim world is excellent international relations policy. It's common sense really but it takes guts to pursue it when the opposition is so reliant on demonising Islam, Muslims and countries that are majority Islamic. We'll probably see the evidence of how the reactionaries demonise Islam, Muslims and countries that are majority Islamc very shortly.

Fewer Iranians favorable to U.S. under Obama than under Bush: So much for apologies and pretty words

Look how the Associated Press reported the results of a poll conducted by Terror Free Tomorrow, a bipartisan group that tries to undermine support for terrorism, and for the New America Foundation, a nonpartisan public policy institute.

Few Iranians have favorable opinions of the United States, a view that has changed little since the election of an American president who has expressed a willingness to talk to Tehran, a rare poll of Iranian citizens showed Monday.

Got that? Iranians hate us just as much as they always have. Except for one thing – when you actually read the results of the poll, it turns out they hate us more now than they used to.

Just 29 percent of Iranians said they have favorable views of the United States in the latest poll, which was conducted last month. In a similar survey in February 2008 — nearly a year before Barack Obama became president — 34 percent had positive opinions about the U.S.

Our interpretation of those numbers is different than AP’s. They say Iranian opinion “has changed little.” But from our jaundiced point of view, the number of Iranians who hate us increased 17% over when George Bush was president.

How is that possible? Where has the sweetness and light gone? What about all those beautiful words The One has spoken? What about all those lovely apologies he’s given?

[Sunni Man]

There are 1.1 billion muslims in the world

Iran is only one muslim country with a population of 66 million.

I am not great at math, but that's approximately 4% of the worlds muslims.

Your argument now sounds kinda weak Pale Rider

Credit where it is due, though. Bush celebrated Ramadan all along at the White House. It used to drive Captain America insane. (previous message board)

How about everyone waits to see if the policy position Obama has taken begins to work. I know the reactionary right wants him to fail simply because of their own ideology but let's wait a while.

And I just gave "one" example, just to show you your theory that now all the worlds muslims love us because obama went on his "bowing, apology tour" has major flaws.

My "argument" is rock solid. obama isn't even a fraction of the miracle worker you think he is.
