President Barack Obama will offer a "personal commitment" to bridge US differences with Muslims in his long-awaited speech to the Islamic world next week in Egypt, aides said.
But White House advisors said Friday that Obama would not shy away from addressing "tough issues" in the speech on Thursday at the University of Cairo which will be co-hosted by Al-Azhar University, an ancient center of Islam and learning.

"The speech will outline his personal commitment to engagement, based upon mutual interests and mutual respect," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.
"He will discuss how the United States and Muslim communities around the world can bridge some of the differences that have divided them.
"He will review particular issues of concern, such as violent extremism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and he will discuss new areas for partnership going forward that serve the mutual interests of our people."
Obama foreign policy advisor Mark Lippert added that the address, which makes good on an Obama campaign promise, would emulate some other speeches by the president which have touched on difficult issues.
"He doesn't hesitate to take on the tough issues in his speech, just harkening back to his Senate career when he delivered a very, very powerful message on corruption in Kenya, " Lippert said.
"He continually raises these issues here with leaders when they come through both in private and through public statements, as well. You have a President who's not afraid to engage on very tough, tough issues."
Asked whether Obama would meet with Egyptian political dissidents during his visit, aides said that people from across the political spectrum would be invited to the speech.

I didn't think he was present in the Senate that often to make a speech on the corruption of anyone or anywhere. Of course it would be Kenya, where else would he pick? He probably has already had secret meetings or talks with Islamic leaders where he said much different things to them than he will say in Cairo. He will say whatever he thinks neccessay to get him on his almighty ring of the ladder.

The question should be, "Is the world too smart for the ultimate 'community organizer?'" This guy wants to be buddy-buddy with everybody. Sure, that's a good goal, but there are serious ancient differences.

I guess what it boils down to is his ego. He thinks he's so great that he can overcome what everybody else in the world has been unable to do since eternity. Nothing like delusions of grandeur.

The true Muslim faith is as pure to them as our is to us. Is it possible that we are safe because President Obama's father and Kenyan family are Muslims? His mother was also well respected in the family & Indonesia. Anything is possible.

Susan, Do you really think that terrorists have put their jihad on hold because of Obama? Stay tuned Susan (I hope you do not live in a large urban area)! they despise him because he denies his Muslim faith, and if they could ,they would ice him, like they tried with George Bush Sr. as an example!

Of course he will!!! HE IS A NARCISSISTIC MUSLIM PERIOD!!! His trips are for the Purpose of Establishing the Military Training & Providing the Equipment necessary to "Legitimize" the "Bastard PLO" in the Gaza!!! He is Destroying the Relationship so Deeply Rooted with Our Friends, the Israeli Nation hoping to Incite a "Major Action" from Israel for which he can Justify breaking off All Relations & the Destruction of the Peoples!!! So AGAIN I ASK, WHO HAS GIVEN HIM THIS POWER??? BY WHAT AUTHORITY IS HE DOING THIS??? WHO IS REALLY BEHIND HIS ACTIONS??? Are we not seeing Scripture Fulfilled before our very Eyes??? John
