The Trump Road Tour--Arabia, Israel, Europe

While I didn't hear him deliver it at least he wasn't afraid to stand up and tell 'em like it is like he promised!

Quote:President Trump urged leaders of Muslim countries to stand up against what he calls "Islamic extremism" on Sunday, adopting a tough stance on terror that nonetheless attempts to soften the anti-Muslim rhetoric of his campaign for president.


The use of that terminology appears to be something of a compromise: During the presidential campaign, Trump criticized President Obama for refusing to utter the words "radical Islamic terrorism" — a phrase Obama said would alienate the Muslim allies that the United States most needs to combat terrorism.

In an ornate conference hall in the Saudi capital, and speaking to a group of leaders from 50 Islamic nations, Trump called on Muslims to confront "the crisis of Islamic extremism and the Islamist and Islamic terror of all kinds."

That means "standing together against the murder of innocent Muslims, the oppression of women, the persecution of Jews, and the slaughter of Christians," Trump said at the Arab Islamic American Summit.

“Religious leaders must make this absolutely clear: Barbarism will deliver you no glory – piety to evil will bring you no dignity,” Trump continued. "If you choose the path of terror, your life will be empty, your life will be brief, and your soul will be condemned."

Calling on people in Middle Eastern countries to decide what kind of future they want for themselves and their children, Trump said, “a better future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and extremists. Drive them out.  Drive them out of your places of worship.  Drive them out of your communities.  Drive them out of your holy land, and drive them out of this Earth."

But Trump also rejected the "clash of civilizations" rhetoric espoused by some of his more nationalistic advisers. His chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, has called Islam "the most radical religion" in the world and warned of a "major shooting war" in the Middle East.


"This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilizations," Trump said. "This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people all in the name of religion... This is a battle between good and evil."

I like his approach.

I also get a giggle out of the bully softening his approach when in front of the people he was gonna give it to.

And then took money from them.

And so did his daughter.

MAGA!
