Say what you want about our new President, check out this slice of the inauguration speech. Says it better than I could have.

I like him.

'To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect.

know that you  are on the wrong side of history;

but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.'

 

Then, a week later, he reaches out a hand to them-
