Being Obama Means Always Having To Say, "I'm Sorry"

Will Islam Return Obama's 'Respect'? - WSJ.com:
"'We seek broader engagement based on mutual interest and mutual respect. We will listen carefully, we will bridge misunderstandings, and we will seek common ground. We will be respectful, even when we do not agree. We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith. . . . Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority country. I know, because I am one of them.'

This is an eloquent description of ecumenical civility. In reality, the experience of Arab Christians living now amid majority Islamic populations is often repression, arrest, imprisonment and death."
Hat Tip for the Being Obama... line. Apparently, the problem is that we in the US are not respectful of minority groups. We should learn from the Islamic states.
