Obama's Speech in Cairo - Video

''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. ''
(...)

''And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.''

(...)

''And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.'' (Applause.)

''But that same principle must apply to Muslim perceptions of America. (Applause.) Just as Muslims do not fit a crude stereotype, America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire. ''

(...)

''Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one's religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state in our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That's why the United States government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab and to punish those who would deny it. ''
