If they IM'd: Barack Obama and the Muslims

Apparently, Muslim Americans are not feeling very "Yes We Can" these days. Obama's efforts to battle accusations of his being a Muslim has been kind of a turn-off, and Muslim leaders complain of feeling snubbed. They don't like that Obama's website refers to the accusation of his being a Muslim as a "smear," and they really don't like that Muslim women in headscarves are getting pushed out of Obama photos. They just want a little love from Barack, it sounds like. Perhaps these two should sort things out via IM...
