Saudi Arabia (for example) is an orthodox Islamic state which some would call fundamentalist, or at least exporting fundamentalist views (Wahabism). If Obama is considered an apostate from Islam then any contact between him and Saudi Arabia will have that hanging over the meeting. As an Islamic state, they would HAVE to offer him return to the religion or (according to strict interpretation) death.
Remember that we're talking religion here and in modern times we've seen that Muslim fundamentalist are more than happy to kill and die for their religion. An apostate president is a double target. An Islamic state that allows contact with an apostate president is asking to be attacked by fundamentalist physically, politically, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 9:16 PM, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > why does this matter?
