So, we have Farah Pandith as the special U.S. envoy to Muslim communities. We now have another one – Rashad Hussein who has been appointed as the envoy to the Organization of Islamic Conference. Apparently, he will:
…work to strengthen cooperation between the United States and the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the White House said. In addition, he will seek to counter any disparaging images of the United States in the Muslim world, and in particular will look to correct distortions of Americans disseminated by Al Qaeda.
Pandith’s job description:
she will play a leading role in our efforts to engage Muslims around the world
So, basically, each will be stepping on the other’s toes, just as bureaucracy is designed to do.
