A Muslim lawyer offered to pay for Obama to take a tour of Muslim regions of the world so he can learn more about how Islam is a "religion of tolerance…and acceptance."
Emirati lawyer Eisa Bin Haidar tweeted on Sunday, "President Obama, I offer you a job in my office, salary housing tickets and travel to Arab countries," and then added, "to get closely acquainted with the meaning of tolerance of Islam."

To get closely acquainted with the meaning of tolerance of Islam
Haidar noted later that his offer "is a little bit weird," according to Al Arabiya English, who translated the Arabic tweet.
Haidar later told Gulf News that the Western media "has constantly profiled Islam as a religion of terror and categorized Muslims as terrorists."
In the past, Obama has called Islam a religion of peace, and warned Americans not to blame terror acts committed by Muslims on the Muslim community as a whole. Obama visited a US mosque for the first time in February, and used the opportunity to speak about the dangers of Islamophobia.
