Obama, proving once again, that he never attended Madraaaassssaaaaa and that he really has nothing but contempt for Islam. Please believe him: "He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school." And then Mr. Kristof (the man who turned Darfur into kitsch and who commercialized the suffering of the people of the Sudan, and who organized tours for celebrities in Darfur, and who represents in his person all that I dislike about American liberalism: humorless, boring, inconsistent, politically cowardly--especially on Palestine--, and that famous narrow angle from which US empire is criticized) says this: "Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent." Now Kristof does not know Arabic, so how on earth does he offer comments about the Arabic accent? This is like me commenting on people speaking Russian.
