Obama to Muslims: Put Up and Shut Up
Antiwar.com / Paul Craig Roberts

"I’ve come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United
States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and
mutual respect."Cairo is the capital of Egypt, an American puppet state whose ruler
suppresses the aspirations of Egyptian Muslims and cooperates with
Israel in the blockade of Gaza.In contrast to the Islamic University of Al-Azhar, Cairo University
was founded as a civil university.  Obama’s Cairo University audience
was secular.

Nevertheless, Obama said startling words that many Muslims found
hopeful.
He said that colonialism and the Cold War had denied rights and
opportunities to Muslims and resulted in Muslim countries being
treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations.  The
resulting blowback from "violent extremists" bred fear and mistrust
between the Western and Muslim worlds.
