So much for his outreach to the Muslim world.

Following the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq on December 15, 2011, an Islamist weekly magazine in India published a cover-page article titled “Can Bush and Obama Be Tried for Holocaust-Genocide in Iraq?” The magazine, Radiance Viewsweekly, belongs to a group of Islamist publications in India which owe their ideological allegiance to the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, the country’s leading religious organization:
“The readers may recall that Mr. Dennis Halliday was the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq from Sep 1, 1997, until 1998. He resigned after 34 years with the UN, including being U.S. Assistant Secretary General over the sanctions imposed on Iraq, characterizing them as genocide.
“One may ask here: what is genocide? Genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group: a) killing members of the group; b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; c) deliberating inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; d) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; e) forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
“Conscientious media persons are blunt when they aver that Mr. Obama is ‘currently the world’s No.1 violent extremist, the world’s No. 1 killer of children and the world’s No. 1 holocaust denier because he absolutely ignores the horrendous human cost of the U.S.’ invasions, occupations and devastation in the Muslim world.'”
