Michelle Obama will spend next week in Qatar and Jordan to promote her global education initiative for girls, the White House announced Wednesday. It will be her first official visit to the Middle East.

In Doha, Qatar, Mrs. Obama is scheduled to speak about the Let Girls Learn initiative at the 2015 World Innovation Summit for Education, which draws education leaders from the region and around the world.

She will also visit service members stationed at Al Udeid Air Base as part of her separate initiative to support U.S. military families.

In Amman, Jordan, the first lady will tour a school that was built with money and technical support provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development, as well as meet with adolescent girls who are students there.

President Barack Obama and the first lady launched Let Girls Learn this year to encourage the leaders of other countries to provide opportunities for education to the estimated 62 million girls around the world who do not attend school.

Khan: I can kind of see where you're coming from...a few years back, i wouldn't have agreed, but i do feel there is now a pretty widespread global agenda against Islam...I see it in the West and I see it in my own country...even if you srt Islam aside, any rational person will concede that the West has no business meddling in these Arab countries...their own people want the wars to stop...but its all down to oil primarily i feel...the middle east has to be kept unstable for oil prices to remain high...so either stir up religious conflict or straight out bomb the hell out of the oil countries...the west and its allies are criminal, any fair person will agree...

However, khan, muslims are not blameless either...the rulers are self serving and unjust and the people have deviated from the TRUE islam...another thing, god tells us that when hardship afflicts us, it is either punishment or a test...so we need to first analyse whether we have done anything to deserve punishment...only if we deeply feel we havent, can we then take it as a test...i feel you are misdirecting your anger at the obamas...the problem is basically capitalist greed vs religion..all religion...theyve pretty much destroyed christianity in the west and want islam next...you wont be able to hear the vile things ive heard them say about their own bible and their own prophet who we too revere so much...it is not world against islam...its capitalism against god and islam is the current agenda...but those who belive in the one god know only he wins...always...so lets be patient, look at ourselves and leave the bigger picture to god...the west, IS, Muslim leaders and all these murderers are gods creation too and will stand before him too...take it easy man....

Your logic fails since Muslims are killing Muslims all around the globe

In the life of Barack Hussein Obama, the American President we have a moral to learn.

The dead father of the current American President Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim.

Atleast he was born in a Muslim family and his name proves this without doubt.

But he did a big mistake due to which lives of other became in trouble.

Yes a Muslim made a bid mistake due to which lives of Millions of Muslims has been lost in the past and still loosing at present.

Yes…What is that Mistake?

The Mistake that the muslim father of the current American President Barack Hussein Obama did did not teach his son what is Islam. He did not teach him there is no God but Allah. He did not teach him that Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them; and that Allah has power over all things. The Muslim father of Obama did not teach him that life is a continuous exam and he will be questioned for all our actions. How can Obama justify for the command he gave to kill and that too a group that Allah loves.

Here We have a lesson to learn.

It is extremely important that we Muslims must teach our Children what Islam is. Otherwise they will become Obama. Distribute weapon to Israel and shake hand with Saudi Arabia.

Thank you Mr. KHAN for all your comments.... and whatever you mentioned about US is 100% bitter truth... there policy is very simple divide and rule....Last week Mr.Trump USA presidential candidate for Next election and Mr.Tony Blair is said WORLD WOULD BE BETTER PLACE if Saddam husain and Gadafi stay in power. after destroying both countries for the sake of OIL and they succeed. now they are telling the war against iraq was mistake. same theory was done against IRAN and IRAQ war and so on.....

Khan, IF Jesus would return the CIA or the NSA would arrest him, and he would be crucified again. People don't recognize their saviors. They never did, and they never will, because for the ruling people he will always pose a danger!

I love and respect all people irrespective of whether he is a muslim or a non muslim. Infact we are all children of same father and mother. Do not shed of your brothers and sisters. All Mankind have a common origin..a same father and same mother. If people realize this people will love each other never fight each other.

Do you know that the same person and his wife is mentioned in Holy books of Hindus, Muslims, Jews and Christians. Here its is..

He is called Brahma by Hindus, Muslims call him iBrahim, Jews and Christians call him aBraham . His wife is called SARA by Muslims, Christians and Jews and interestingly SARAswati by Hindus .

You can see these two words Brahm & SARA repeating in all of them.

Allah is not the God of Muslims only but Allah is the God of all people whether they are Hindus, Muslims, Jews and Christians. Monotheism is present in all their Holy scriptures.

We never existed before 100 years nor will exist after 100 years. If you consider that you sleep 8 hours a day, it is one third of the day and calculation for the whole life it will be one third of a person’s age. Hence there is no time to waste time in vain talks and disputes. Help the poor and do good to your parents and be thankful to God, He gave you free, the air you breathe, the water you drink, fruits and vegetables, most importantly your Life for free. Our life is a continuous exam until we meet God and it is when he will question you for your time, youth , money , actions etc . People reject God but can they escape Death? . Don’t forget you are nearing your death every second.

I dream of a day, when this war will stop, when Jesus will return. Yes Islam confirms Jesus will return to this earth . Jesus (the Messiah) عليه السلام will descend from Heaven and bring peace and brotherhood to the World. May be I donot live upto that day. But atleast I cry today and pray for my brothers......Help my brother...save his life...Nobody is interested. The Saudi Arabia is not taking any interest in saving the lives of Palestine. The Saudi-led coalition should be sent to Palestine instead of Yemen to protect Islam's holy mosque from destruction and protect the lives of my Muslim brothers and sisters.

Well, if their "tricks" work, then those wo fall for them must be quite stupid.

These Americans use trick to deceive people to get thing done.

I will tell you an example. Consider following story:

Dad: I want u 2 marry a girl of my choice.

Son: No

Dad: The girl is Bill Gate's daughter.

Son: then Ok.

Dad goes o Bill Gates.

Dad: I want your daughter to marry my son.

Bill Gates: No

Dad: My son is the CEO of the World Bank.

Bill Gates: Then ok

Dad goes 2 the President of the World Bank.

Dad:Appoint my son as the CEO of your bank.

President:No

Dad:He is the son-in-law of Bill Gates.

President: Then OK

That's business...These American are good in playing tricks to get things done.

The truth is that Israel is killing Palestinians with weapons made in America and supplied to them by America.

Sadly, many people don't make the effort to read / learn / understand world politics. It is all too easy to be self righteous

"She and her husband tells Muslims to kill Muslim." Let them talk.

Why do the Muslims listen to them? They can say "NO", can't they? But they don't. Don't blame them for talking, blame the Muslims for doing.

I wonder if she'll meet Muhammed the Clock Boy

What is she going to do.

She and her husband killed my muslim brothers and sisters.

She should be tried for murder in the court in Doha.

She and her husband support Israel and arm Israel with weapons to kill my Palestinian brothers and sisters.

She and her husband whisper into the ear of Saudi that Iran is your enemy.

No no muslim can be an enemy of another muslim.

Prophet has forbidden a war between Muslims.

Muslims-who-fight-each-other-will-both-be-in-hell

Even carrying a weapon against another Muslim is Forbidden in Islam.

Fighting between Muslims is not Jihad. It is cowardice and an act due to Ignorance.

I remind all of you to a saying of our Prophet with warning that both the Killer Muslim and Killed Muslim will both be in hell for fighting each other with weapons.

(Ref: Bukhari - Volume 9, Book 88, Number 204)

Abu Bakra Narrates: I heard Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) saying, "If two Muslims meet each other with their weapons then the killer and the killed are are both bound for the (Hell) Fire." I said, "O Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) It is alright for the killer, but what about the killed one?" Prophet said, “Because the killed one intended to kill just as much as the killer."” [Bukhari & Muslim]

She and her husband tells Muslims to kill Muslim. The war between Muslims results in the killing of each other, reduction in their population, destruction of their infrastructure, a push-back on their economy, a drain on their reserves let alone the breading of hatred. Who gains from this? She and her husband who want to sell their guns and grenades, bombs and bullets, mortars and missiles. Had this money for war used by Muslim countries been used for constructive purposes, it would have changed the destiny of poor Muslim countries. Then when a war comes to an end, it is these very same world powers and developed nations who take over the role of reconstruction and churn out money from big projects bringing in their manpower and material. They earn both ways.

Now she is coming to build the Muslim countries. Very nice
