Trump notes Muslims are greatest victims of Islamist terrorism
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTrump: “In sheer numbers, the deadliest toll [from terrorism] has been exacted on innocent people from Arab and Muslim nations. Some estimates hold that more than 95% of the victims of terrorism are themselves Muslim.”
“We now face a humanitarian and security disaster in this region that is spreading across this planet. It is a tragedy of epic proportions. No description of the suffering and depravity can begin to capture its full measure.”
He names terror groups that include the Palestinian Hamas: “ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas,” whose victims “must be counted not only in numbers of dead, but in vanished dreams.”
“Middle East should become one of the great centers of commerce and opportunity, not from which refugees flee but to which people flock.”
