Obama delivers speech to Muslim world in Cairo

U.S. President Barack Obama says it is time for a new beginning in relations between America and the world's Muslims. The president said they should unite to confront violent extremism and promote the cause of peace.

Fresh start

President Obama says, after decades of frustration and distrust, it is time for candor ... for dialogue ... and a fresh start.

"I have come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect, and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition," the president said.
