"I found it unpleasant to see Obama lecturing the Arabs"

was he really lecutering "arabs"? i think in his whole speach he was addressing muslims and not arabs.
why do i feel like there is a great work from all leaders trying to reidentify this fighting between /west and east /east israel / iran and the gulf area / as a religious war?
is it really a religious conflict?!!
i don't understand what the hell he was trying to do with quoting verses from quraan!!
we are so pathetic, the moment we hear somone sayin السلام عليكم , our mind burst with joy.. but yeterday , it was both السلام عليكم and verses of quraan as well!!
well he goes to the kennisit and say, shaloum there, maybe he will quoto verses from التوراة .

what are they doing?? they are reidentifying the conflict into a religious one!!
