S.A. Miller at the Washington
Times offers a piece on President Trump speech to Muslim leaders.
President Trump called on
Muslim leaders Sunday to begin stamping out radial Islamic terrorism within
their own countries, giving a blunt assessment to the poisonous ideology within
their religion and offering a path forward to peace.
In a historic speech to
leaders from 50 Muslim countries, Mr. Trump described the struggle against
Islamic extremists as a “battle between good and evil.”
“There can be no coexistence
with this violence. There can be no tolerating it. No accepting it. No excusing
it and no ignoring it,” he said in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. “They
don’t worship God. They worship death.”
He offered a partnership with
the U.S. to defeat terrorist groups such as the Islamic State, but he said they
must take the lead to end the bloodshed and violence it is spreading in their
own homelands.
The president also called for
a unified front to combat Iran, which supplies weapons and training to
terrorists and spreads destruction and chaos across the region.
