In a historic speech from Egypt on Thursday, President Obama called for a new beginning between the United States and the Muslim world, after years of mutual and deepening anger, resentment and hostility fueled by terrorism and two wars.
People all over the the Middle East — from leaders and radical groups to students and shopkeepers — reacted to Obamas speech.
Shibley Telhami, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and the Anwar Sadat Professor for Peace and Development at the University of Maryland, joins Martin Savidge to discuss the speech, its intended audience and Obamas other efforts to reach out to the Muslim world.
