Obama speech to Muslims "deceptive," Taliban says

LONDON (Reuters) – The Taliban said on Saturday that U.S. President Barack Obama's speech to the Muslim world was full of "deceptive slogans" and did nothing to change relations between America and Muslims.

The speech, which Obama delivered at Cairo University on Thursday, "had nothing substantial in terms of content in order to reduce the dissonance that has reached its peak between Muslims and America," the Taliban leadership said in a message posted on Islamist Internet forums and translated by SITE Intelligence Group.

"His occupation and transgressing forces continue to kill, torture and arrest Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq, trample upon their deserved rights with their feet, mercilessly kill them for defending their rights and throw them in the most horrible prisons in the world," the message added.

Obama's address, lasting almost an hour, was merely the "continuation of the previous deceptive slogans of America," the message said.

Violence in Afghanistan has surged to its highest levels since the 2001 U.S. invasion toppled the Taliban, which had harbored the al Qaeda network responsible for the September 11 attacks on the United States.

Washington also is worried about the stability of nuclear-armed Pakistan in face of a growing insurgency and has urged action against militants to help defeat al Qaeda and disrupt support for the Taliban in Afghanistan.

3. The idiots would do well to pay attention to how Obama is plucking half-reasonable republicans...

leaving their party with a few jackasses that nobody likes.

Obama's doing the exact same thing to the Taliban. Suckers.

4. Appeal to moderate Muslims. Bush could never get the difference.

Seems like its working and the Taliban and Al Quaeda don't like it. "Bizitches".

[Arkana]

5. Obama got every Muslim in the world with an ounce of sanity to listen to him

and that infuriates al Qaeda because he's just made it that much harder for them to recruit more "martyrs".

6. The Taliban is finding Obama's America much harder to convince people to hate. nt

8. The GOP's worst fear is that Obama wins "the war on terror" (insofar as there is one).

Then what will they do?

That's no exaggeration.

The best of all worlds.

14. Pretty much!

15. Deceptive slogans ...

While I tend to agree that a lot of what's in the Torah, the various iterations of the Bible, and the Qur'an constitutes a deceptive slogan, I'm a bit taken aback that the Taliban thinks so.
