→Important point about pronunciation of Pakistan: re
::Obama does not use the "Muslim pronciation" of Pakistan. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 16:08, 29 May 2017 (EDT)

:::The point is that there is a sloppy American pronunciation of Parkistan and there is the pronunciation used in International diplomacy. Neither is indicative of a religion. Diplomats call what I say is the "Ivory Coast" instead "Côte d'Ivoire". Does that make me a Muslim? [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 20:22, 29 May 2017 (EDT)

::::You are all correct but I side with RobS, his foreign influence rather than his American influence dictates his pronunciation. I would think that the way it is said is likely some elitist-preferred talk (look how worldly I am as I say P-o-ckistan.) Is it signify that means he is Muslim? Likely not but I bet Muslim elitists like Fareed Zakaria got a warm and fuzzy feeling from it.--Jpatt 20:31, 29 May 2017 (EDT)
