Obama the First “Non-Muslim” to Speak from Mosque

When Ofail announced during the campaign that if elected (he probably said “when elected”) he would give a speech from a Muslim capital, eyes across the country rolled.
Well, it’s going to happen, and the lucky country that gets to host the next stop on the Global Apology Tour is Egypt. But there is one curious thing…
He will be giving the speech not from Egyptian People’s Assembly (their parliament) or somewhere that might have a democratic tone to it. No, he’s going to a more significant location: the Al Azhar Mosque, which is considered the center of the Arabic world.
Curiously, non-Muslims are typically not permitted in mosques; no non-Muslim has ever given a speech from Al Azhar. But apparently they’re breaking this rule for Ofail… or are they?
