Obama's major speech on Muslim relations in Cairo

The speech is getting very positive early reviews.

I'm sure it's only hours before Hannity, O'Reilly and Limbaugh rip it, but Muslims in the Middle East are giving the President favorable reviews.

President Obama concluded his remarkable Cairo address by highlighting the individual mandates for peace in each of the major Abrahamic religions.

He said that, "The Holy Quran tells us, 'O mankind! We have ... made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another.' ... The Talmud tells us: 'The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace. ...'"

"The Holy Bible tells us, 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.' ... The people of the world can live together in peace. We know that is God's vision. Now, that must be our work here on Earth."
