Trump urges Moslem world to confront islamist terrorism
U.S. President Donald Trump said the war on terrorism is not
a fight between faiths but “a battle between good and evil.”
“This is not a battle between different faiths, different
sects, or different civilizations,” Trump told leaders of Arab and
Muslim-dominated countries during a high-stakes speech on Sunday at a summit in
Riyadh.
“This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to
obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect
it. This is a battle between good and evil,” he said.
Trump also told Muslim leaders gathered in the Saudi capital
that he was “not here to lecture” others about their faith and lifestyle.
Instead, the US seeks “to offer partnership – based on
shared interests and values – to pursue a better future for us all.”
The Arab Islamic American Summit in Riyadh is the highlight
of Trump’s two-day visit to Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam and the first
stop on Trump’s inaugural multi-nation tour as president.
U.S. and Gulf Arab countries agreed on Sunday to coordinate
their efforts against the financing of terrorist groups.
