we're living in amazing times when the
leader of the free world is able to
condemn evil and terrorism and violence
in the way that President Trump
explained it to the leaders of the Arab
world recently take a look at this
incredible speech
65% of its population is under the age
of 30 like all young men and women they
seek great futures to build great
national projects to join and a place
for their families to call
home but this untapped potential this
tremendous cause of
optimism is held at bay by bloodshed and
terror there can be no coexistence with
this violence there can be no tolerating
it no accepting it no excusing it and no
ignoring it every time a terrorist
murders an innocent person and falsely
invokes the name of
God it should be an insult to every
person of faith terrorists do not
worship God they worship death
if we do not act against this organized
terror then we know what will happen and
what will be the end result terrorisms
devastation of life will continue to
spread peaceful societies will become
engulfed by violence and the futures of
many generations will be sadly
squandered if we do not stand in uniform
condemnation of this killing then not
only will we be judged by our people not
only will we be judged by history but we
will be judged by God
this is not a battle between different
faiths different sex or different
civilizations this is a battle between
barbaric criminals who seek to
obliterate human life and decent people
all in the name of
religion people that want to protect
life and want to protect their religion
this is a battle between good and evil
when we see the scenes of destruction in
the wake of terror we see no signs that
those murdered were Jewish or Christian
Shia or Sunni when we look upon the
strains of innocent blood soaked into
the ancient ground we cannot see the
faith or sect or tribe of the victims we
see only that they were children of God
whose deaths are an insult to all that
is
holy but we can only overcome this evil
if the forces of good are united and
strong and if everyone in this room does
their fair share and fulfills their part
of the burden terrorism has spread all
across the world but the path to peace
begins right here on this ancient soil
in this sacred
land america is prepared to stand with
you in pursuit of shared interests and
common security but the nations of the
Middle East cannot wait for American
power to crush this enemy for them the
nations of the Middle East will have to
decide what kind of future they want for
themselves for their country and frankly
for their families and for their
children it's a choice between two
futures and it is a choice America
cannot make for you a better future is
only possible if your nations drive out
the terrorists and drive out the
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
forceful words worlds spoken brilliantly
i find it interesting that some of the
biggest
genocides of recent history were
committed by atheists when you think of
Stalin Mussolini and of course Hitler
these are people who openly rejected the
belief in God what President Trump was
doing in the speech he was speaking to a
group of religious people these Arabs
are believers in Allah they believe in
one God and by invoking in their in them
their faith he's helping them realize
that when you believe in God it's then
that you believe in every human being
created in the image of God an atheist
doesn't believe in God and therefore
doesn't necessarily believe that every
human being has the right to exist but
what the president of the United States
was doing in the speech was allowing
these leaders of the Arab world to
realize that if you truly believe in God
then it's God who created us all in his
image and not only those of us who
subscribe to their brand of faith and if
we could only accept our faith with
strength instead of
insecurity not being threatened by the
faith of others it's then that we can
see the divine presence of God in every
single human being allowing for a
brighter and better world ahead of us
all Tomorrow
