Obummer speaks at the Cairo University in Cairo, Egypt Thursday, June 4th, 2009. Speaking in the ancient seat of Islamic learning and culture, and quoting from the Quran for emphasis, Obummer called for a “new beginning between the United States and Muslims”, and said together, they could confront violent extremism across the globe and advance the timeless search for peace in the Middle East. “This cycle of suspicion and discord must end,” Obummer said in the widely anticipated speech in one of the world”s largest Muslim countries, an address designed to reframe relations after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11th, 2001, and the U.S. war in Iraq.
