(6 Apr 2009) HEADLINE: Obama declares US not at war with Islam
CAPTION: Barack Obama, making his first visit to a Muslim nation as president, declared Monday the United States "is not and will never be at war with Islam." AP's Mark Smith reports from Ankara. (April 6)
[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE]
NB. THIS IS A VOICEOVER TRANSCRIPT, NOT A FULL SHOT LIST.
((Obama and Abdullah Gul on red carpet with troops and music? FONT: Ankara, Turkey))
With gestures like these, Barack Obama is reaching out to the Muslim world ...
((working receiving line with Turkish officials))
... opening two days in Turkey on his FIRST overseas trip as president ...
((wreathlaying))
... honoring modern Turkey's founder, Ataturk, at his tomb...
((fotoop))
... holding talks with Turkey's present-day leaders ...
((To newser walkout or cutaway))
... and hailing a country that's both in Europe AND Asia as a bridge between East and West.
OBAMA SOT: (3:45 from start of Obama/Abdullah Gul newser) "I'm trying to make a statement about the importance of Turkey not just to the United States but to the world."
((Street scenes from Jason, including woman with headscarf))
But that approach has a practical side. As a key Muslim ally and longtime NATO member ...
((File footage Afghanistan))
... Turkey's backing is crucial to the fight in Afghanistan, where Obama's about to surge more troops.
((Angry Iraq file))
Yet the Turks are still seething over Iraq, invaded over their objections.
((To parliament speech FONT: Turkish Grand National Assembly))
Speaking to Turkey's parliament, the president acknowledged the anger.
OBAMA SOT: (Approx 20:30 from start of speech) "I know there have been difficulties these last few years. I know that the trust that binds the United States and Turkey has been strained"
((Cutaways Parliament))
And he spoke directly to Muslims who think the war on terror is aimed at them.
OBAMA SOT: (Approx 21:00 from start) "So let me say this as clearly as I can: the United States is not at war with Islam."
((To MORE street scene from Jason's footage))
Among the proud Turks, Obama's outreach went down well.
VOXPOP SOT: "Turkey is a model for the Muslim world, as a matter of fact. America should give more importance to Turkey." FONT: Artugurl Nas, Ankara resident
((Cutaways))
This Turkish couple has high hopes his approach heralds a new day.
VOXPOP SOT: "We like him very much. He's a good person. He's a good guy. He's a good guy."
((Standup close))
The president has made repairinig ties with the Muslim world a top priority. In fact even AFTER this visit, Obama intends a major speech soon in ANOTHER Muslim capital. For many Muslims, after eight years of George W. Bush, THIS kind of attention is a breath of fresh air.
