美国总统奥巴马说，美国希望与穆斯林世界“以相互尊重和相互利益为基础”结成新的伙伴关系。奥巴马在总部设在迪拜的阿拉伯卫视上说，他“要对穆斯林世界做的工作”是显示美国人不是他们的敌人。
奥巴马在首次正式接受直接向穆斯林世界播放的采访中说，他还有责任告诉美国人民，穆斯林世界有很多非凡之人，他们只是想过好自己的生活，并希望子女的生活更好。
奥巴马总统指出，他在穆斯林国家生活过，亲属中也有穆斯林。至于伊斯兰恐怖分子，奥巴马总统说，他们的理念已破产。他说，他们所做的一切都没有能让穆斯林世界的儿童得到更好的教育或更好的医疗保健。
U.S. President Barack Obama says the United States wants a new partnership with the Muslim world “based on mutual respect and mutual interest.” Speaking on Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television, Mr. Obama said his “job to the Muslim world” is to show that Americans are not their enemy.
In his first formal interview — one made directly to the Muslim world — the American leader said his job also is to communicate to the American people that the Muslim world is filled with extraordinary people who simply want to live their lives and see their children live better lives.
Mr. Obama pointed out that he has lived in Muslim countries and has Muslim family members. As for Islamist terrorists, he said their ideas are bankrupt. He said nothing they have done has ensured that a child in the Muslim world is getting a better education, or has better health care.
