President Obama could not have delivered a better speech to the Muslim world. He not only addressed the most important issues dividing Muslims and the US but, more broadly, addressed the spirit of the divide by acknowledging the differences and similarities that are often overlooked on both sides. And he crowned it off by NOT visiting Israel while in the region--a subtle yet powerful gesture. There will be people who will be unhappy just because he did it, but on the whole it was an important first step. Well done.

Following President Obama’s speech in Cairo, Egypt, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Spiritual Leader of Iran, released a pre-recorded message. It insisted that development of nuclear bomb is forbidden under Iran's brand of Islam. He reiterated that Iran seeks only to generate electricity. He referred to a religious edict, or fatwa that he had issued at least four years ago in which he declared that the production, stockpiling or use of nuclear weapons was prohibited under Islam.
Khamenei said: "Our nation says we want to have a nuclear industry". "We want to use nuclear energy in a peaceful way. However, the West and America say that the Iranian nation is seeking to make a nuclear bomb. Why are they telling lies?"
"The Iranian government and nation have repeatedly said that we do not want nuclear weapons. We have announced that according to Islamic principles, the use of nuclear weapons is forbidden. It is dangerous to keep nuclear weapons. We are not seeking to have them. We do not want them."
The text of the President's speech was not broadcasted by radios or TVs in Iran. This was a mistake by the Iranian government not to allow the broadcast; but it will be available on the internet. Iranian people have the right to know the entire text of the President's speech. The influence of the President Obama’s speech on the Iranian election for the office of the president of Iran would be of great interest.

I think we need it most in times of recession.Financial crisis affect the health of people so it does bring impact to the concern of government.The financial crisis has taught us a lot. One of the things the financial crisis has taught us is that even giants can fall, and even though he lives down the street, the local banker cares more for a balance sheet than anyone's household. It's been a terrifying ride, and hopefully the whole thing will be back up faster than the fastest rapid payday loans. The financial crunch has put a hurting on many industries and millions of people, and the lessons to be learned for the future are legion. There are now record numbers of people running for payday loans because of unreliable banks during the financial crisis.

In reference to the denial by Iranian president Ahmadinejad that holocaust ever happened, President Obama said in Germany that ’he does NOT have patience with people who would deny history’. Here is some history that President should know and NOT deny either.

The political arm of Islam has been waging terroristic holy war on the rest of the world for centuries. It has waged this war against civilizations that have nothing to do with the West, let alone America. This is why the case of Muslim aggression against India proves so much.

Medieval India, before the Muslim invasions, was a richly imaginative culture, one of the half-dozen most advanced civilizations of all time. Muslim invaders began entering India in the early 8th century, on the orders of Hajjaj, the governor of what is now Iraq. In the aftermath of the Muslim invasions of India from 8th to 11th centuries, in the ancient cities of Varanasi, Mathura, Ujjain, Maheshwar, Jwalamukhi, and Dwarka, not one temple survived whole and intact. This is the equivalent of an army marching into Paris and Rome, Florence and Oxford, and razing their architectural treasures to the ground.

In his book The Story of Civilization, famous historian Will Durant lamented the results of what he termed "probably the bloodiest story in history." He called it "a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex order and freedom can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without and multiplying from within. Muslim invaders "broke and burned everything beautiful they came across in Hindustan," displaying the resentment of the less developed warriors who felt intimidated in the encounter with "a more refined culture." The Muslim Sultans built mosques at the sites of torn down temples, and many Hindus were sold into slavery. As far as they were concerned, Hindus were kafirs, heathens, par excellence. They, and to a lesser extent the peaceful Buddhists, were, unlike Christians and Jews, not "of the book" but at the receiving end of Muhammad’s injunction against pagans: "Kill those who join other gods wherever you may find them."

The massacres perpetrated by Muslims in India are unparalleled in history. In sheer numbers, they are bigger than the Jewish Holocaust, the Soviet Terror, the Japanese massacres of the Chinese during WWII, Mao’s devastations of the Chinese peasantry, the massacres of the Armenians by the Turks, or any of the other famous crimes against humanity of the 20th Century. But sadly, they are almost unknown outside India. The perpetrators of these massacres were not military thugs disobeying the ethical teachings of their religion, as the European crusaders in the Holy Land were, but were actually doing precisely what their religion taught. As has been well-documented, jihad has been preached from the official centers of Islam, not just the lunatic fringe.
