SUBJECT: MOZAMBICAN MUSLIMS RESPOND FAVORABLY TO PRESIDENT 
OBAMA'S SPEECH 
 
REF: A. MAPUTO 90

     C. 08 MAPUTO 1085 
     D. 08 MAPUTO 637 
 
1.  (SBU) SUMMARY:  Nearly fifty Mozambicans attended a live 
broadcast of President Obama's June 4 speech from Cairo, 
among them prominent Mozambican Muslims including Imam Nazir 
Lunat from the Grand Mosque in central Maputo, and several 
Ambassadors from Muslim countries, including Egypt.  The 
President's comments were warmly welcomed, with many 
participants expressing admiration for the policy statements. 
 In a discussion led by the Charge that followed, Muslims 
including Sheikh Abdul Karimo, expressed guarded optimism. 
Separately, well-known editor Fernando Lima contributed to 
analysis and commentary of a live broadcast of the speech on 
independent T.V. station TIM.  President Obama's speech 
provides a perfect opportunity to engage the Mozambican 
public, particularly its significant Muslim population on 
U.S. policy.  The overall positive comments of prominent 
Muslims, many who are skeptics of U.S. policies, bode well 
for our continued efforts to reach out to the Muslim 
community in Mozambique.  END SUMMARY. 
 
------------------------- 
MUSLIM COMMUNITY INTEREST 
------------------------- 
 
2.  (SBU) Forty-four Mozambicans, including prominent members 
of Mozambique's Muslim community, accepted an invitation from 
Embassy Maputo to view and discuss a live broadcast of 
President Obama's "A New Beginning" speech broadcast live 
from Cairo.  Among the prominent Muslims present were 
Algerian Ambassador Ahmed Lakhdar Tazir, Egyptian Ambassador 
El Sayed El Tantawi, Muslim scholar Sheikh Abdul Karimo, and 
Imam Nazir Lunat of the Grand Mosque in downtown Maputo. 
 
------------------------------------------- 
PUBLIC AFFAIRS HOSTS FOR PRESIDENT'S SPEECH 
------------------------------------------- 
 
3.  (SBU) The participants reacted warmly to the President's 
greeting in Arabic, with many replying to the television. 
Throughout the speech, they responded favorably to President 
Obama's calls for religious tolerance, and appeared 
particularly impressed by the President's decision to quote 
repeatedly from the Quran.  During discussion following the 
speech, the Charge highlighted the opportunities for the 
Embassy in Mozambique to expand our existing outreach 
efforts, in order to build not just a bridge between Muslim 
and Western culture, but as the Egyptian Ambassador observed, 
greater trust among nations.  The largely-Muslim audience 
overwhelmingly expressed support and admiration for the 
President's initiatives, noting with pleasure the thematic 
parallels between the speech and the Quran, particularly in 
regards to tolerance, peace, and equality. 
 
-------------------------- 
MOZAMBICAN MUSLIM ANALYSIS 
-------------------------- 
 
4.  (SBU) The presence of Imam Lunat and Sheik Karimo was 
especially noteworthy.  Lunat, a rare attendee of Embassy 
events, is known as an opponent of U.S. policy in Afghanistan 
and a fiery speaker whose Friday sermons at the Grand Mosque 
are so popular they are often recorded and distributed around 
the country.  During the discussion session, he carefully 
observed that no one man can effect change on the scale 
proposed by President Obama, and that significant USG 
follow-through would be needed to achieve the goals stated. 
Sheik Karimo, alluding to Afghanistan, gently noted that 
waging war was an unlikely means to peace.  In informal 
conversation following the discussion session, he added that 
he viewed as contradictory the President's reference to Black 
Muslim Americans using non-violent means to achieve a measure 
of political, social and economic parity, and his support of 
a military solution in Afghanistan and Pakistan.  One younger 
Mozambican Muslim woman told the Charge that she greatly 
admired the President's initiative, and would look forward to 
seeing how the speech would inform policy.  She also 
especially noted how the President's usage of the Quran 
"makes us as Muslims feel more comfortable," and evidenced 
that he, or his speech writers, had evidently studied Islam.

LIVE ANALYSIS FROM INDPENDENT T.V. TIM 
-------------------------------------- 
 
MAPUTO 00000636  002 OF 002 
 
 
 
5.  (SBU) There was great interest in the speech among 
Mozambicans in general; with independent television station 
TIM carrying a live feed with simultaneous commentary and 
analysis from poloff, Professor Silveiro Rouguane, and 
award-winning Editor of independent weekly Savana Fernando 
Lima.  The commentators voiced their admiration for the 
President's statements, marking what was described as a new 
open "policy of goodwill."  The President's statements on the 
two-state solution, affirmations of a return to the high 
principles that the U.S. is known for, the value of human 
rights and transparency, and overtures towards Iran drew 
praise, with Lima agreeing that President Obama was making 
good on his campaign promises, but raising concerns about the 
practicality of finding solutions to these difficult issues. 
Lima was skeptical of the assertion that violent extremists 
made up a small minority of the Muslim world, suggesting that 
their impact had been extremely significant. 
 
--------------------------------------------- - 
COMMENT: SPEECH WELL RECEIVED, EVEN BY CRITICS 
--------------------------------------------- - 
 
6.  (SBU) Mozambique, with a significant Muslim population 
numbering over four million, pays careful attention to U.S. 
policy towards the Muslim World.  The overall positive 
comments of prominent Muslims, many who are skeptics of U.S. 
policies, bodes well for our continued efforts to reach out 
to the Muslim community in Mozambique.
