Hard to see why Hellyer would think Obama’s Cairo speech was so much better than Trump’s speech in Riyadh. Hellyer hairsplits about Trump saying Islamic instead of Islamist (Islamist would have been better) but doesn’t seem to mind that the former Kenyan citizen gave an estimate for the number of Muslims in the US that was about three times too high. Obama also made the ridiculous statement that “"since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States” although for a long time the only American Muslims were a tiny minority of African slaves. Presumably, If he had gone on to talk about Muslim regiments that fought under George Washington’s command the men in white coats would have taken him away, but one never knows. Justin Trudeau recently told an interviewer the Conservatives campaigned on a headscarf ban in the 2015 election and he still hasn’t been institutionalized.
