This is not a complicated subject. If Obama is to succeed in reversing the massive Moslem anti-American hatred caused by the Mideast policies of George Bush and the War on Terror then he must do two things: turn against Israel and return Iraq to Sunni control.
Obama can stress his Moslem roots call himself Hussein and praise Islam to the sky but it will do nothing to repair US-Moslem relations and his initiative will fail. Israel's existence on the Arabian Peninsula, the birth place of Islam, is profoundly anguishing and humiliating to Moslems everywhere and to Arab racial pride in particular. Moslems want a one state solution in "Palestine" with Israeli Jews living in oppression under Arab Moslem rule in accord with Islamic Law. Moslems will settle for nothing less than Israel's demise and for Obama to want anything less makes him look like a Zionist stooge in bed with Islam's enemies (see note 1).
However, even if Obama were to desert Israel and join her enemies in replacing the "Zionist entity" with a Palestinian Moslem State it would not fully placate the Sunni world and its bitterness over the loss of Iraq to Shiite heretics. Unless Obama joins the Sunni cause to return Iraq to the status quo ante of Sunni control Sunni resentment of America-even with Israel gone-would remain a powerful force (see note 2). Obama has no rational choice but to continue the policies of George W. Bush which kept us safe for seven years, Moslem hatred and all; or seek a peace rejected by Islam (a two state solution) and lead Israel, the Palestinians and the region into greater instability and turmoil (see HOW OBAMA CAN WIN THE LOVE OF ISLAM
and HAMAS LEADER SEEKS TWO STATE SOLUTION ).
NOTES
1. Arab Sunni leaders: the Saudis, King Abdullah, Mubarak and Abbas call for a two state solution while demanding the right of return for all Palestinian "refugees" which would effectively destroy Israel's existence as a Jewish State.
2. For Obama to appease the powerful Wahabis of Saudi Arabia he would have to abandon the democratically elected government of Afghanistan and allow the return of their allies the Taliban to power.
