The hope Obama talked about in Cairo has been taken with a pinch of salt by the Muslim world hoping actions by the US administration will match Obama's words and promises regarding the Muslim world.
US President’s passion for peace and reconciliation seems to have meant little to the hawkish elements in his administration.
There should be some clear signs of a reversal of previous policies. Guantanamo Bay, for instance, has not been closed down yet and Israel's expansionist designs continue to guide its foreign policy.
The US has not yet accepted Hamas with open heart.
The issues such as Israel's nuclear stockpile and its settlements in the West Bank and Gaza have implications for the whole world.
R. A. CHUGHTAI President of Islamic United Council ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN
