In Cairo Egypt today President Obama said, in his
Speech,today "I've come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect, and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap and share common principles, principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings."
What a refreshing change from the "us and them" doctrine of the Bush years.
President Obama mentioned that the Cairo University represented tradition and progress.
He mentioned the tension between Islam and the West.
As long as as Islam and west exist by their differences there can be no progress.
There must be Conscious effort to listen to each other.
We now have a President that will be slow to anger and quick to speak the truth to all people.
Change has come.
