- Hamas is hopeful about Obama
Many Muslim nations are welcoming Barack Obama as the new president of the United States –yet there are also expressions of caution over whether much will really change in U.S. relations with the Muslim world.
Mr. Obama made a special point of addressing Muslims around the world in his inaugural speech Tuesday and reaction has been coming in.
In his inaugural address Tuesday President Obama offered a new relationship with the Muslim world.
“To the Muslim world,we seek a new way forward,based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict,or blame their society’s ills on the West –know that your people will judge you on what you can build,not what you destroy,”President Obama said.
