Will Islam Return Obama's 'Respect'?
By DANIEL HENNINGER ...This week was an opportune time for President Barack Obama ... In Turkey he spoke of seeking engagement with Islam based on "mutual respect." ... the status of minority faith groups...living inside Islamic countries. That status is poor....verges on extinction,...review what Mr. Obama said of his goals for living with Islam:...The United States is not, and will never be, at war with Islam. . . . ****This ignores the question: Is Islam at war with the U.S.? WE defended Muslims in Kuwait, the Balkans and other places. WE didn't use the (first) Gulf War as an excuse to topple Saddam when we could ( and should )have; a Saddam responsible for the deaths of >1Million Muslims. Muslims have attacked US since the days of the Barbary pirates ( ah, the lessons of history ), the kidnapping of Perdicaris, making common cause with Hitler until it was clear he was losing, the Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon, the first WTC bombing in 1993, etc etc. Is the West intolerant of Islam? Is Islam intolerant of the West, Westerners, and Western institutions? ****
Why was Obama bowing to the Saudi king? Video clips gainsay the Administration's denials of any obeisance. Perhaps it was Obama's Muslim upbringing in Indonesia reflexively giving special respect to the "Guardian of the Two Shrines," for a thousand years a special place in the Muslim world.

N.B. An "anonymous" source denies the bow because no-one would admit to making such an absurd claim.
