“It is possible that my level of understanding will allow me to conduct better diplomacy in the Arab world.”
Obama’s “level of understanding? We are supposed to be impressed because he attended school in Indonesia for four years during his childhood. Did Obama actually say this with a straight face? There is little evidence whatsoever that he has a clear understanding of Islamic nihilism. Instead, he seems committed to the notion popularized by Edward Said that the predominantly dark skin Muslims are victims of Western imperialism.
