I've Been Thinking:

For a few days now I have been thinking about the speech Barack Obama delivered at the AIPAC convention in Washington
and about his follow up interview on CCN
and about the follow up to the follow by Obama staff and their quick response qualifying the statement "eternal capital" in reference to Jerusalem and Israel.

The Arab press was shocked by the Obama statement.
One after the other they could not believe Obama would say that.
After all, Obama was their candidate.

Some papers referred to the entire episode as a slap in the face to Islam.
Some papers emphasized his status as a murated an apostate, someone who was once a Muslim and has now left the fold.
Being an apostate is a crime punishable by death in Islam.

Even the characters who originally endorsed Obama were baffled.
Hamas and Hezbollah were shocked - Hamas really does not understand America and does not realize that because Obama disagrees with Bush it does not necessarily follow that he will break off a historic and special relationship with Israel.

One prominent Arabic website put it in perspective for the Arab world by saying: "They forgot that he is an American Zionist who turned his back on Islam and that he is hostile to Islam more than the infidels the Christians and the Jews."
