TrickyPickle and danielsangeo, agreed. You can’t budge those who don’t want to play nice. But the moderates DO outnumber the radicals on both sides, and my experience with Islam is that moderates truly do want to have a constructive and peaceful relationship with their neighbors near and far. It is completely reasonable and appropriate for our president to reach out to them – despite what the extremists here or there say.
