President Obama’s charm offensive continues as he attempts to woo the Muslim world in a visit to Ankara:
“Let me say this as clearly as I can: the United States is not – and will never be — at war with Islam,” Obama said in remarks delivered in Ankara. “In fact, our partnership with the Muslim world is critical not just in rolling back the violent ideologies that people of all faiths reject but also to strengthen opportunities for all people.”
It’s a welcome change from Bush’s crusade gaffe. More news from Turkey after the jump.
