Obama's speech will be an important part of his engagement with the Muslim world, which began in his inaugural and has continued through venues such as his interview with Al Arabiya, his Nowruz message, and his speech and town hall in Turkey, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said yesterday. Giving a brief preview of the anxiously awaited speech, Gibbs said President Obama would discuss how the US and Muslim communities around the world can bridge some of the differences that have divided them. He will review particular issues of concern, such as violent extremism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He will discuss new areas for partnership going forward that serve the mutual interests of our people, Gibbs told reporter during a teleconference organized by White House on Obama's upcoming trip to the Middle East and Europe next week. During the week-long trip the US President would be visiting Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Germany and France.
