Barack Obama plans to reach out to Muslim world
Source: Chicago Tribune

In exclusive interview, he says he plans to be sworn in like every other president, using his full name: Barack Hussein Obama

Barack Obama says his presidency is an opportunity for the U.S. to renovate its relations with the Muslim world, starting the day of his inauguration and continuing with a speech he plans to deliver in an Islamic capital.

"I think we've got a unique opportunity to reboot America's image around the world and also in the Muslim world in particular,'' Obama said Tuesday, promising an "unrelenting" desire to "create a relationship of mutual respect and partnership in countries and with peoples of good will who want their citizens and ours to prosper together."

The world, he said, "is ready for that message."

It is a good step toward promoting peaceful solutions to places like Afghanistan and Pakistan.
