US appoints envoy to Muslim world

Source: BBC

The US State Department has appointed its first Special Representative to Muslim Communities.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Farah Pandith would play a leading role in US efforts to "engage Muslims around the world".

She said Ms Pandith, who was born in Indian-administered Kashmir, would bring years of experience to the role.

The appointment is part of President Barack Obama's attempts to improve relations with the Muslim world.

So Muslim leaders can expect to find a willing ear for their opinions -- the ear of a woman. Interesting.

1. It is appropriate that a woman is chosen. The Muslims in the more secular

countries recognize the value of women. The others need to either get their mysognistic acts together or go back out to nomad's land.
