If you only read one thing this week…

The  transcript from President Obama’s speech in Cairo on June 4th  is well worth reading. It is a passionate presentation of the future direction for US policy with Islam and touches on five key areas: violent extremism; the situation between Israelis, Palestinians and the Arab World; nuclear powers; democracy; and women’s rights. It sets a very different tone and lays out a different agenda to the one followed by the previous administration.
