Good point. Obama may not be hated as much, but the attitude of the "root cause" crowd will guarantee that he is hated to some degree. The people on the ultra right being against Obama is a given.

The link was directed at Madverts. He/She implied that America was in iraq for "booty". The link was given in response to his/her conspiracy theory.

Easy...the Americans kicked a lot of people out and assumed power. There are a lot of people that want the Americans to leave so that they can take that power. Also, Mahmood is Shia. Most people that live in Iraq are Shia and tribalism flourishes in that part of the world.

The only one trying to revise history is you, with your bias opinion and disregard to facts no matter where they lead.

Do you have a link confirming this booty that was acquired?
Asking for facts and not your opinion (conspiracy theory) is not defending "Bush Co".

How do you think Japanese people feel about America (the former aggressors) today?

Has there ever been war where "invaders" were "invited in"? Is this a historical prerequisite for all armed conflicts in order to be considered "legitimate or are these special rules for America?

What about the first horrific act? Who's image needs to be rebooted for that?

Perception is reality. Obama does a service to America by at less recognizing that America has an image problem among many muslims. Voicing this will lead some muslims to lower their guard enough to actually entertain the idea of finding common ground.
What you don't seem to acknowledge is that non- muslim and some muslim Americans have concerns with the image of Islam and some of its practitioners. Muslims do not have a monopoly on "perception". People know who seem to be the loudest promoters of Islam and they are not the moderates. No amount of denials of that will change Americans' minds.
Obama is acknowledging to the muslims that America has an image problem, who is acknowledging to America that muslims have an image problem?

That's easy... Adam Yahiye Gadahn better known as Azzam the American. He is on the FBI's Most Wanted List, with a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to his capture.

You have a hard sell trying to convince the people of the many countries targeted by radical islamists that there is not a problem with radical islam.

Your status quo solution didn't work very well, just ask Clinton, the people of Australia, and the people of India just to name a few. The referendum on Bush's performances is clearly shown in his poll numbers and in the number of Republicans returning to Washington in January. The America people have spoken
Where is the “out of the box” thinking in your argument? What I hear is “criticism of any muslim is criticism of ALL muslims” from you. That paralyses constructive action and promotes off-topic arguments that go in circles. This doesn't do anything to stop actions like blowing up buddhist statues, beheadings of the infidel, and suicide bombing.

If Beck said to the first-ever Muslim congressman what he is alleged to have said (I did not see the video), then I think it is disgusting and Beck should be called to the carpet for it.
There were 140 victims of anti-Islamic hate crimes in 2007. That is 140 too many but there are approximately 3.5 million muslims in America. Don’t you think that if a large percent of 300 million Americans felt ALL muslims were terrorist, that 140 out of 3.5 million would be a lot higher?
Food for thought

It is amazing that even though most on this board that are critical of the islamic radicals specifically state "Islamic radicals", people like you prompt come to there defense by insulating them with the warm human shield called “all muslims”.
You and smith are the first ones to come here championing the cause of ALL muslims when you are the only people talking about ALL muslims. How about discussing the problem once in a while, that being the Islamic radicals.

Maruku What does your 01:10 AM post have to do with prejudice of Muslims? It is naive to believe that almost everything boils down to oil.

Christians and Islamists have been fighting each other for centuries. Please do not dilute yourself by believing that wars involving Islam are a relatively recent phenomenon.
There's that moral relativism. At what point, after you feel that "Islamic wars" have caught up to the carnage of "Christians wars" will you speak out against "Islamic wars".
