Obama appoints Muslim envoy

clipped from www.onenewsnow.com An Islamic critic and terrorism expert says President Barack Obama should not have named a special envoy to an Islamic organization that is an absolute enemy of the United States. President Barack Obama has named White House lawyer Rashad Hussain as his special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), which represents 57 Muslim countries. The president claims Hussain is a "hafiz of the Quran" -- one who has memorized Islam's holy book. He also contends that Hussain will continue working to repair U.S.-Islamic relations and develop the types of partnerships Obama called for last year in his address to the Muslim world in Cairo.  Spencer adds that the president should not be sending an envoy to a group like the OIC, as he believes "it is waging a war against free speech at the United Nations and elsewhere, trying to stifle critics of Islam and Jihad, trying to vilify and smear anybody who speaks honestly about Jihad activity as a hateful bigot and so-on."
