Hmmm. I take Jennifer Bryson’s point, via Nathaniel Peters, that in his speech President Obama used more precise and defensible terms than “the Muslim world.” Yet, by addressing “Muslim communities,” “Muslims around the world,” and “Muslim-majority countries” within one highly-heralded speech in Cairo, Egypt, I think that Obama was certainly living up to the billing of attempting to address that dubious concept that we, National Public Radio, and every other media outlet are calling “the Muslim world.”
