President Obama is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday in Indonesia as part of a 10-day visit to India, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan. Muslims in Indonesia are pessimistic about the thought of Obamas visit. Ismail Yusanto is a spokesman for the Muslim group in Indonesia. "Obama can talk all he wants in Cairo and in Jakarta, the fact is that he still has his troops in war with Muslims, It's all lip service" Yusanto said. The protests was organized by Muslim group Hizbut Tahrir. About 20,000 people attended the rallies which included men, women and children. "Muslims staged rallies across Indonesia on Sunday to protest U.S. President Barack Obama's planned visit to the southeast Asian nation this week." -CNN World News Protesters were out chanting "No Obama" and held up posters saying "Stop Oppressor." Indonesia is the world's largest Muslim country, More than one in 10 of the world's Muslims live in there. It must be difficult for Obama to go to a country and talk about how he wants to be-friend muslims so that they can join together and look for the true enemy al Queda, when almost 20,000 muslims
don't even want Obama in their presence. "We don't see the differences between Obama and Bush, they both oppress Muslims, they both have blood on their hands," said Yusanto. "That's why we reject Obama and we don't believe that he's reaching out to Muslims."
