The United States ambassador to Spain recently met with a group of Muslim immigrants in one of the most Islamized neighborhoods of Barcelona to apologize for American foreign policymaking in the Middle East.
U.S. Ambassador Alan Solomont told Muslims assembled at the town hall-like meeting in the heart of Barcelonas old city that the United States is not an enemy of Islam and that U.S. President Barack Obama wants to improve Americas image in the Middle East as quickly as possible by closing the dark chapters of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the war in Afghanistan.
There are things that the United States has done badly, Solomont said at the February 28 gathering organized by a non-profit organization called the Cultural, Educational and Social Association of Pakistani Women. But now the Obama government wants to improve relations with Muslims, he promised.
During the one-and-a-half-hour question-and-answer session, Solomont asked those in attendance simple rhetorical questions, including: Did you know that the United States sends a lot of money to Pakistan? and Did you know that the decision to destroy Osama bin Ladens house was made by the United States?
After responding to queries about the Talibanization of Pakistan due the war in Afghanistan and the demonization of Islam in the West, Solomont said Obama wants to end the long-time American practice of establishing alliances with dictators in the Middle East, a strategy which he said has failed to prevent the rise of the bearded ones [radical Islamists], this according to the Barcelona-based newspaper La Vanguardia, which also interviewed Solomont on the sidelines of the event.

From Wik with line through addies.
Yet another "moderate Islam" apologist and Russian surrender monkey person.
Alan D. Solomont (Boston, 1949[citation needed]) is the current United States Ambassador to Spain and Andorra. Selected by President Barack Obama, he was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 24, 2009. And patted on the back repeatedly by a fawning elderly long-term care advocate Nancy Pelosi.
Active for many years in the Democratic Party, Solomont served as money changer National Finance Chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in 1997, raising over $40 million which qualified him for ambassadorial appointment. In 2000, he was appointed by President Clinton to the Board of Directors of the Corporation for National and Community Organizing Service, which oversees three national service initiatives: AmeriCorps, the National Senior Service Reverse Mortgage Corps and Learn & Serve America.
Alan Solomont serves as a Jewish community organizer on the boards of numerous organizations including the Boston Private Bank & Trust Company, Angel Healthcare Investors, LLC, Boston Medical Center, The Jewish Fund for Justice, The New Israel Fund, Israel Policy Forum, Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly, and the WGBH Educational Foundation. He chairs the Board of Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston. He received an honorary degree from the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
Alan earned a B.A. from Tufts University in 1970.[1] He pursued independent studies abroad as a Thomas J. Watson Fellow and later earned a B.S. in Nursing Homes from the University of Massachusetts Lowell. He was elected to the Tufts Board of Trustees in 1999.
