Why is Obama pandering to muslims around the world?
Because there are millions of muslim voters in America and they unanimously vote Democrat. That's why!
Muslims did an act of war on the USA on September 11 2012 and Obama has already surrendered.
Obama is a rotten sonofabitch. Period. End of argument.

Yes, I agree with the poll. I'd much rather hang out with Amadenajad than our muslim president.

He didn't surrender as much as simply say "meh".

The Iranian state press picked up that article from the Onion, thinking it was legit.

Here's an excerpt from Fareed Zakaria's interview with Ahmanidejad showing he shares the Onion's outlook:

Zakaria: I want to ask you if you recognize why people get so nervous by your comments about Israel? Because you're the president of a country. Presidents of countries do not speak like this. They do not speak about the elimination of another member state of the United Nations. They don't speak about wiping it off the map. And when you take that rhetoric and you add to it the fact that Iran is developing a nuclear program, it makes many people, in the United States, outside the United States, worried that the intention of Iran is to use that nuclear capacity to eliminate Israel, to wipe it off the map.

Ahmanidejad: So really, the people of the United States are concerned? They are shaking? Where do you – what do you base this on? The rest of the nations are worried, preoccupied and trembling at this thought? What for?

We are friends with all nations. Yourself, as a reporter, you must know as a member of the media, you must know that Ahmadinejad is quite popular is quite loved, and loves everyone equally...For seven years, I have been answering this for you.

Zakaria: Every time you answer it in a way which raises more doubts. The problem that people have is that you talk about elimination. You talk about wiping off –

Ahmanidejad: Now how do you – how do you pretend to speak on behalf of the people? It raises doubts and it stirs doubts in whom? People have given you their vote of confidence in order to represent their all encompassing view?

You are representing a media outlet and representing their views. Let's go to the streets of New York tonight, right now. And let's interview the people and find out what they say.

I would say that Ahmadinejad owned the little plagiarist finocchio.
