In his celebrated speech at Cairo University, Barack Obama’s main message was that we should focus on those things that unite us, not those that divide us. To quote, “It’s easier to start wars than to end them. It’s easier to blame others than to look inward. It’s easier to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share. But we should choose the right path, not just the easy path. There’s one rule that lies at the heart of every religion — that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us.”
Unfortunately, many refuse to listen and instead, pursue their own extremist agendas. And this is not limited to followers of Al-Qaeda or the leaders of Iran. Self-appointed protectors of the West from Jihad also managed to pick apart Obama’s speech, ridiculing every sentence, responding to every request to find that which is common by rejection and calls for hatred.
Fortunately, members of this particular nuthouse no longer run the show in the White House.
