tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims....
The attacks of September 11, 2001, and the continued efforts of these extremists to engage in violence against civilians has led some in my country to view Islam as inevitably hostile not only to America and western countries but also to human rights
I also know that Islam has always been a part of America's story
... let there be no doubt, Islam is a part of America
In Ankara, I made clear that America is not and never will be at war with Islam.
Unlike Afghanistan, Iraq was a war of choice that provoked strong differences in my country and around the world...I also believe that events in Iraq have reminded America of the need to use diplomacy and build international consensus to resolve our problems whenever possible.
Six million Jews were killed, more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today. Denying that fact is baseless. It is ignorant, and it is hateful.
Palestinians must abandon violence...For centuries, black people in America suffered the lash of the whip as slaves and the humiliation of segregation.
Hamas must put an end to violence, recognize past agreements, recognize Israel's right to exist.
The question now is not what Iran is against but, rather, what future it wants to build.
Now, I understand those who protest that some countries have weapons that others do not... No single nations should pick and choose which nation holds nuclear weapons.
Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.
The sixth issue -- the sixth issue that I want to address is women's rights.
we will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities
we will create a new core of business volunteers to partner with counterparts in Muslim majority countries.
We will open centers of scientific excellence in Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia and appoint new science envoys to collaborate on programs that develop new sources of energy, create green jobs, digitize records, clean water, grow new crops
