Some excerpts from Barack Obama’s speech at Cairo University on June 4, 2009:

“So long as our relationship is defined by our differences, we will empower those who sow hatred rather than peace…”

“…we can recall the words of Thomas Jefferson, who said: I hope that our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be.”

“We cannot disguise hostility towards any religion behind the pretence of liberalism.”
