"Leave Afghanistan to Osama"... was followed immediately with asking people to think from the perspective of American people, and how their leader will think of that situation. The line was an attempt to explain the context and background that a President of this country must reckon with. I know it's useless to try to explain or clarify anything, as the haters have their minds already made up. They offered almost no intelligent commentary on the speech itself, but took it in all tangents. The post was NEVER intended to be an evaluation of Obama's performance. That will take a lot more time and thought. It was simply a quick review of a speech brilliantly done. But I wanted to make sure I clarify this out-of-context comment for those sincere about moving the discussion forward, and those who don't live in a paranoid world of conspiracies and conjecture.

I am surprised how u would maintain ur polarizing attitude in this part of world, but it's up to u. please don't patronize others... we follow people of knowledge who have dont have black and white view world. This attitude of condasending others is not healthy and turns people off, as it is similar to what destroy many dawaah efforts in west. anyway, my argument is not with you. may allah bless you for your efforts. i hope you will see others view points for their proofs. may allah forgive me for my sins, and forgive u for ur sins.

Alhamdulillaah I have made more of a contribution to society than just zero! Your tone is despicable! girls-school destroyers?! What are you talking about?! The organizations you mention are well known to me. I grew up in Canada and know well what their contribution has been and continues to be in corrupting the youth and masses in N. America. I have been seeing it for over 35 years. I am not a keyboard jihadist nor a coward who sits behind the keyboard. I have no axe to grind with CAIR because of what they did or did not offer to do for me with the situation with the yahood came up. As a matter of fact, I did not ask anything of them (they offered me) and would not go to them if they were the last organization around (as long as they remain upon the deviation they are upon). They are treacherous and do not represent Islaam. My reality is known Inshaa Allaah. That I am an ally to Muslims and disavow the kuffaar as my Lord has commanded. Clearly you have an issue with the Book of Allaah! stop-the-trolls,
