Obama to reach out to Muslims: major speech abroad

[cyberianpan]

Seems that Obama is in the midst of planning a speech abroad to reach out to the Islamic world:

NYT WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama’s aides say he is considering making a major foreign policy speech from an Islamic capital during his first 100 days in office.
...
The Secret Service won’t like it one bit, but Cairo is no Islamabad. I called the Egyptian Embassy in Washington to ask officials there what they thought. Someone from Mr. Obama’s team had already mentioned the possibility, although embassy officials said Egypt has not been approached about a possible presidential trip to Cairo.

Will this succeed in isolating the extremists ?

Will the people of say Cairo resent the security lockdown ?

I wonder will this be along the lines of JFKs speech in Berlin in 1963?

Well I'd say if Kennedy had have called Egyptians cocktail sausages there would have been trouble. Obama might get away with it

Indonesia would seem like a more logical choice. I heard he doesn’t even have a birth certificate, let alone a US passport. But Indonesia will let him in on his Indonesian passport. He’ll just have to pretend to have forgotten it for every other country he goes to.
