Depends on what you mean by "pro-Muslim". If you mean treating Islam
as a "preferred religion" and encouraging Islamization of America, I
don't think that's going to happen.
If you mean trying to "normalize" Islam and treat them as an equal
member in a pluralistic world, then yes, I agree that's what Obama is
trying to do. Which is pretty much what GWB was trying to do, too.
As usual, Obama is arguably just more effective, not necessarily
different in philosophy. :-/
