Abstract: The article reports on the selection of Egypt by U.S. President Barack Obama as the venue where he will deliver his speech to the Muslim world on June 4, 2009. It recalls that Obama has made a promise to deliver a speech in a Muslim capital within his first 100 days of serving as president. Presidential Press Secretary Robert Gibbs considers the speech as a chance for Obama to talk about Muslim relations. White House officials stress that the selection of Egypt does not reflect an endorsement of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and his government.
