It's important to remember, amid all the Western paranoia, that a party with "Muslim" in its name isn't necessarily any kind of militant or fundamentalist, any more than the many European parties with names like "Christian Democrat" and "Christian Socialist."

Obama knew what he was doing when he came out on their side.
