President Obama's Cairo speech & Muslim’s Reaction!
"President Obama thank you for taking out time for Muslim’ s and also thank you very much for addressing to Muslims.
Yes violent extremists have exploited these tensions in a small but potent minority of Muslims.. Even if the people who plotted, planned and carried the attacks of 9/11 had Muslim names they can never be called as Muslims after their deed of 9/11 according to Holy Quran. Yes all this has bred more fear and more mistrust.
This cycle of suspicion and discord must end. We Muslims are suffering from both ends, by so called Muslim extremists and by so called war on terror.
If you have come to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; then the majority of Muslims are speaking directly from their respective heart’s that we were waiting for a hand of friendship, we accept all your conditions if they are really based on mutual respect and are not simply for oratory but for application
Recognizing that change cannot happen overnight & no single speech can eradicate years of mistrust, nor we want the answer in the time of all the complex questions. Muslim’s have heard you and if you really meant what you said, then we are ready to implement those things.
Thank you for making aware Muslims and non-Muslims alike the contribution of the Islam and Muslims to the science, as even most of the Muslims do not know about this.
Yes first & the foremost issue that we have to confront is violent extremism in all of its forms, whether it may be in form of killing innocent people under the guise of Jihad and Islam, bombing the schools, or bombing innocent civilians for the pursuit of one terrorist, or massacring lakhs of innocent under the pretext of searching WMD’s, or it might be inform of torture of prisoners held in various detention center’s without any charge and proof.
The statement that America is not - and never will be - at war with Islam, had actually lost its credibility due to the deeds of your predecessor. We will relentlessly support you in confronting the violent extremists who pose a grave threat to your security. Because we want to be first in the queue as our faith does not allow the killing of innocent men, women, and children. And it is our first duty as Muslims to protect whole humankind including American people.
We believe that who so ever killed, plotted planned and helped in any form in that attack in which nearly 3000 innocent men, women & children were killed must be punished. But we also believe that to punish that handful of persons we cannot kill another 60,0000 innocent men, women and children.
Indeed, none of us should tolerate these extremists we realize that they have killed in many countries; But every care must be taken that in process of eliminating these extremists large number of innocent lives must not be sacrificed, else the equation might become the innocent people killed by extremists becomes far lower than innocent people killed in process of eliminating the extremists, as we have seen in recent cases. We support your every step whether it might military or investment, until it does not cause adverse affects.
We wished if this thoughts would have came in the head of your predecessor.
Again we really hope that USA will start & then continue to view Muslim countries as partners and not patrons .
We unequivocally appreciate the prohibition of the use of torture by the United States, and your order to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, as it goes against humanity.
The extremists were never welcome in any Muslim country in past nor they are know, nor will be they in future.
Coming to the middle conflict of Palestine & Israel, Do you think if a country states that, we do not believe in Peace treaty, we do not believe in peace road maps, we cannot halt the settlements, we will not recognize the rights of the Palestinians, If the country demolishes the homes of Palestinians, if a country wants people to make a pledge that, if you want to stay in here then you have to take an oath , an oath in which you have to say that its an Jewish state?, If the country keeps more than 11,500 innocent people in prisons, attacks and kills children and women alike, then still will it be ethical to keep the bond stable and unbreakable?
We do not want you to look at this conflict only from one side or the other, we want you to be remain neutral, we want you to be just, we want you to stop supplying weapons, arms and ammunition, we want you to stop providing cluster bombs.
That is in Israel's interest, Palestine's interest, America's interest, and the world's interest. The obligations that the parties have agreed to under the Road Map are clear, know if certain party denies it and if you still say that the bond is un breakable then whole sincerity will come under question mark. May be USA went in Iraq for better lives of Iraqis, but won’t you do anything for better lives of Palestinians? We don’t expect nor we want you to invade Israel, or take any kind of even economic action, what we want is to stop providing weapons that kill innocent human beings.
Yes Palestinians must abandon violence. Resistance through violence and killing of innocent is wrong and does not succeed. We believe that non-violence is the tool to solve the conflicts, as explained by you by various historical events, additional to that I want to add that I personally have experienced as my country has achieved its freedom by non-violence, and that’s one of the reason I am proud of my country India.
Palestinians should be allowed to focus on what they can build. The Palestinian Authority must be allowed to develop its capacity to govern, with institutions that serve the needs of its people.
If America will align its policies with those who pursue peace, and we will say in public what it say in private to Israelis, then we Muslims will never stay back we will take 9 steps if you lift one.
It must be made clear that Islam does not give permission for any kind of WMD’s, as it’s bound to kill innocent human beings. The countries who have started this race must once again start the race to dump also.
Muslim world is waiting for moving forward, we don’t know what the people who are in positions or our representatives think, but surely we common Muslims want that we should move forward and keep our differences aside.
Thank you very much for throwing the light on facts on Islamic tolerance, and it’s worth appreciable as the Islam phobia has reached its heights..
We really thank you for helping American Muslims fulfill their religious duties, we are certainly convinced that this time USA has a president who has knowledge of Islam
Thank you for addressing this issue as Islam too believe that, woman who is denied education is denied equality. Yes we know that there are few who under the name of Islam are bombing the Girls Schools, denying then from there right of education, they must be punished as they are committing sin by going against Islam and denying the female’s from their rights of education.
We want share this responsibility together and we too seek - a world where extremists no longer threaten our people, and American troops have reaching their home; a world where Israelis and Palestinians are each secure in a state of their own, and nuclear energy is used for peaceful purposes; a world where governments serve their citizens, and the rights of all God's children are respected. These are mutual interests. That is the world we too seek. We promise to achieve it together.
We do not want to believe in any flames of division, nor we are ready to listen that its isn’t worth, nor we are skeptical, what we want is now the implementation of your speech. We want to see this eulogy in action as in past we have heard many things but rarely they have been implemented, but this time there is a hope from our internal conscience that this will not be like previous efforts, this are the words of a man who really wants a change, a change for good, this are the words of man who is serious about what he is speaking. We just pray to Almighty Allah that this trust which is starting to build should flourish.
We are looking forward for the new beginning……
