In June 2009 President Obama stood in Cairo and offered up nothing less than the opening salvos of the later-vaunted Arab Spring. In fact, he allowed the Muslim Brotherhood to attend that speech; they received official invitations
Obama said the United States and Muslim countries around the world would never mend broken fences by focusing on our differences, instead of commonalities.
