President Obama outlined a comprehensive framework and vision for partnering with Muslim communities based on mutual respect, traveling to and addressing the Muslim World in Turkey and Egypt in 2009 (read transcript of his Cairo speech) and Indonesia (2010).

As part of that vision, the US has engaged in extensive outreach with the Muslim world in areas such as education, entrepreneurship, and health, science and technology (particularly the Science Envoys program), governance, civil society, and civil rights, and interfaith cooperation and charitable giving.

The Administration has also encouraged programs such as the Viral Peace program and the Generation Change event which are aimed at engaging younger generations of Muslims using entrepreneurship initiatives, social media, and entertainment.
