On the morning of June 4th, 2009, Barack Hussein Obama spoke to a diverse audience of Muslims at Cairo University. He spoke of a “New Beginning” between Muslim countries that have endured hardships like colonization and torture at the hand of those who would see them oppressed. The United States, the hated nation of torture and tyranny, finally owned up to its transgressions under the abhorrent Bush regime.

Barack Obama, the bridge between cultures and peoples, built much like that of a famous Alaskan (Carlos Boozer), addressed the world with honesty quite frightening: “Part of my responsibility as President of the United States is to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”
