According to someone who is supposed to know, with whom I spoke today,
State does a lot of similar "public diplomacy"-type stuff that often gets
the rightwing blogs into a lather... this looks like one of them. It's
part
of State's outreach program since most int'l Muslims interaction with the
US gov't comes by way of the military.

It's called PR, outreach, what have you. SOME Moslems do cooperate with
the US, you know. Just as some Moslems cooperate with Israel. Otherwise the
US could not operate in Iraq or Afghanistan except to bomb them to kingdome
come. Yes. I know it sounds appetizing to some here... fortunately, there
is more going on that just bombing.

Does "outreach" have to = "dhimitude"?

You don't like the idea of a calendar with mosques in America? How does that
hurt (or "dhimmi") America? Granted, I don't want this calendar on my wall
either, but then I don't like scenes from the Grand Canyon either. But
there is nothing wrong with it. There are millions of Moslems who are good
and loyal American citizens. Would you object to a calendar about churches
or synagogues as well?

Jay the point is that it was arm of the United States _Government_
who put it out. You see that when it was "caught" they tried to hide
it.
