In Pres. Obama’s Inaugural Address, he told the Muslim world and its leaders that, “…your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.” He told them that, “…we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your first.”

Today, the President conducted his first television interview since taking office with Al-Arabiya. He said, “My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.”

He also affirmed his support for Israel.
