Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDonald Trump will reference the persecution of Jews in his speech about extremism before Muslim leaders in Riyadh set to begin shortly.
The war against jihadist terrorism, he will say “is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect it.”
According to excerpts of the speech released by the White House, he will add, “That means honestly confronting the crisis of Islamist extremism and the Islamist terror groups it inspires. And it means standing together against the murder of innocent Muslims, the oppression of women, the persecution of Jews, and the slaughter of Christians.”
