Text - Obama’s Speech in Cairo - Text - NYTimes.com










President Barack Obama delivered a powerful speech in Cairo that some say is one of his best. He reached out to the various religious factions using their own religious text: The Holy Koran tells us, "O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another."

The Talmud tells us: "The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace."

The Holy Bible tells us, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."

President Barack was telling the people that they are serving one God and one mankind, why can't they use their religious convictions to get along and to love one another. Religious should be for the cause of peace and it it is used in any other way it is not the true religion (that's me)
