Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Obama Addresses U.S.-Muslim Ties in Indonesia Speech

HeadlineNov 10, 2010

President Obama has arrived in South Korea for the G20 leaders’ summit after a brief stop in Indonesia. In what was billed as an update to his 2009 Cairo speech on U.S. relations with Muslims worldwide, Obama addressed a large audience at the University of Indonesia in Jakarta.

President Obama: “Innocent civilians in America, in Indonesia and across the world are still targeted by violent extremism. I’ve made it clear that America is not, and never will be, at war with Islam. Instead, all of us must work together to defeat al-Qaeda and its affiliates. We have no claim to be leaders of any religion, certainly not a great world religion like Islam. But those who want to build must not cede ground to terrorists who seek to destroy. And this is not a task for America alone.”
