The speech

The speech pandered to the victimhood of Arab nations. It questioned the sovereignty of the U.S. and encouraged Muslims to let women gain an education. Gee, that sounds modern, doesn't it. 

Note that all but one of the factors Obama cites or suggests have Muslim countries as the victims of the wicked West. The only other factor, terrorism, is described by Obama as merely a reaction to the West’s aggressive values, and even then he seems to say that the West’s fear of terrorism is a bigger problem than the terrorism itself.

This is profoundly wrong and almost certainly dishonest. Missing from this part of Obama’s analysis is the aggressive wars launched by Muslim nations on each other, on Israel and, covertly, on the West through sponsored terrorism such as the Lockerbie bombing. Missing is the tyranny imposed for so long on most Muslims by their own leaders, and the manipulation of the resentment of citizens into hatred of Jews and the West. Missing is the failure of so many Muslim nations to educate their own citizens and make them wealthy, leaving them to resent the richer West.  Missing is that the Muslim world has tense relations not only with the US, but with Israel, Russia. India and Europe.
