You betcha.  All in the name of understanding and tolerance.

Barack need to brush up on his history, starting with Chamberlain and
Santayana.

So you haven't listened to his speech in Cairo, I take it?
A few excerpts:

  Violent extremists have exploited these tensions in a small
  but potent minority of Muslims. The attacks of September 11th,
  2001 and the continued efforts of these extremists to engage
  in violence against civilians has led some in my country to
  view Islam as inevitably hostile not only to America and
  Western countries, but also to human rights.

  The first issue that we have to confront is violent extremism
  in all of its forms.

  I am aware that some question or justify the events of 9/11.
  But let us be clear: al-Qaida killed nearly 3,000 people on
  that day. The victims were innocent men, women and children
  from America and many other nations who had done nothing to
  harm anybody. And yet al-Qaida chose to ruthlessly murder
  these people, claimed credit for the attack, and even now
  states their determination to kill on a massive scale. They
  have affiliates in many countries and are trying to expand
  their reach. These are not opinions to be debated; these are
  facts to be dealt with.

  Make no mistake: we do not want to keep our troops in
  Afghanistan. We seek no military bases there. It is agonizing
  for America to lose our young men and women. It is costly and
  politically difficult to continue this conflict. We would
  gladly bring every single one of our troops home if we could
  be confident that there were not violent extremists in
  Afghanistan and Pakistan determined to kill as many Americans
  as they possibly can. But that is not yet the case.  That's
  why we're partnering with a coalition of 46 countries. And
  despite the costs involved, America's commitment will not
  weaken. Indeed, none of us should tolerate these extremists.
  They have killed in many countries. They have killed people of
  different faiths –- more than any other, they have killed
  Muslims. Their actions are irreconcilable with the rights of
  human beings, the progress of nations, and with Islam.

Those are just a few excerpts.  You should read the whole thing.
He did a pretty good job of telling them they need to get their
act together in a way that might actually be heard.
