So, what did Triangle-area Muslims think about Barack Obama’s speeches in Cairo and the Middle East?

I’ve read this N&O story three times and still do not know. It evidently involves changes in U.S. policy in the region, but beyond that I cannot tell.

The question is, could the reporter? The persons she interviewed seemed very informed and I, for one, would have liked more details on what specifics they thought might “mend ties between the two worlds and to resolve the conflicts raging in Afghanistan and Iraq and between Israelis and Palestinians.”

The story as written makes me suspect that specifics were mentioned, but were edited out either by the reporter on the fly or by an N&O editor.
