The myth of a 'Muslim world'

By Ramzy Baroud
Asia Times

"......If President Barack Obama continues to approach Arabs and Muslims as a single collective ready to be manipulated with bogus promises, fancy rhetoric and impressive body language, then he will surely be disappointed. Highly politicized, skeptical and fed-up societies refuse to be reduced to a mere percentage in some opinion poll that can be swayed when Washington determines the time and place.

It's that incessant lack of depth that has caused the US so much grief in the Middle East, and will cost it even more if such imprudence persists."
