Islamabad:

A couple of days ago, US President Barack Obama tried to reach out to the Muslim world by making a speech at the Cairo university. The Taliban has reacted saying the speech was full of "deceptive slogans" and did nothing to change relations between America and Muslims.

In a message posted on Islamist websites, the Taliban has said that the speech has nothing substantial in terms of content to reduce the dissonance that has reached its peak between Muslims and America.

"His occupation and transgressing forces continue to kill, torture and arrest Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq, trample upon their deserved rights with their feet, mercilessly kill them for defending their rights and throw them in the most horrible prisons in the world," said the Taliban.
