Obama: Don’t let terrorists make us revoke rights for security
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleObama says defeating the Islamic State will take more than increased work by security forces, i.e. not succumbing to fear.
“We cannot allow fear to divide us, that’s how terrorists win,” he says, saying they won’t change the way Americans live their lives.
“We’re vigilant, we take precautions, but we go about our business,” he says. “Americans will not be terrorized.”
He continues that what this means is keeping in place freedom of religion and equality before the law, opposing increased security measures that would clamp down on rights.
He defends his program to bring in Syrian refugees, saying they go through vigorous vetting, and says the US is happy to share its expertise with France, which will also continue to take in refugees.
