How do you think an Obama Presidency will impact the Islamic World? MADEEHA 29, GRAD STUDENT/COUNSELOR “I’m hopeful that Obama’s election will improve relations between the U.S. and the Muslim world, but I think that he’ll first have to defend Muslims and explain some of the social faux pas that he made during the campaign.” HASAN 20, RESTAURANT MANAGER “I think President Obama will establish a good relationship with the Muslim world because just like any other part of the world, all we need is communication, and Obama is all about diplomacy and communication.  That’s all we need and that’s all we’re looking for.” RUHIYA 38, WRITER/GRAD STUDENT “I think he’s truly diplomatic, and that’s really what we need now to build bridges between many different communities - including the Muslim community - which isn’t just one world, but is instead comprised of many different faces and ways of practicing.  I think by his very nature he can help unite us.” SEQUAN 27, STUDENT “Obama as the face of America will help the Muslim community tremendously because he gives [America] a face that is representative of the diversity in our community.  It might make people more accepting of Islam and might make people think before they judge - and his name being Obama doesn’t hurt either.” http://www.elanthemag.com/index.php/street_talk/
