To the Point
Barack Obama and the Muslim World
President Obama today called for "a new beginning" for the US and Muslims around the world. Was there a call for actions to back up his words? Also, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, Newt Gingrich and the claims of "racism."
President Obama today called for "a new beginning" for the US and Muslims around the world. Was there a call for actions to back up his words? Did he reach young people on the Arab street? Will his words make a difference to Israelis and Palestinians? What about Muslims in other parts of the world? We sample reactions from a variety of sources. Also, Newt Gingrich has thought better about calling Sonia Sotomayor a "racist." We look at what she said eight years ago and what her audience thought then.
