So, if you can digest that of Trump, you need to backtrack in your mind and acknowledge the exact same with Obama.

Can you get over your bias enough to do that... if not...you are a hypocrite !!!!
+1 Good point.

We are just happy that Trump has come to grips with it.
Actually you missed it .. President Trump did say this calling out islam and women's rights in the Middle east..
In his speech, the following:

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.

I never said anything about a learning period, I said he is 'brand new to politics and foreign policy' and that he said his 2 best qualities are his listening skills and his flexibility.
Get real... it has already been reported that Trump did not write the speech, the good thing is that he read it and did not deviate and blabber anything that was not in the speech... the speech contained much of the exact same things Obama said and did, when he promoted Diplomacy, and chose not to esclate more wars by going into Libya, and Syria, as Republican had tried to push him to do. Now, Trump is saying the same things, when he is telling the Arab Nations, the EXACT same things Obama said. Which was, they need to take the lead and they need to stay focused and invest in defeating Terrorism.
He did a good job on delivery of the text.

Hopefully he comes into more learning for the unknown time he has remaining.

Did he utter the term "radical Islamic terrorist?" No, he couldn't even say it to their faces.
This is the Transcript of President Trumps Speech as posted in The Hill

More Parsel-Tongue by the American Leftists and Anti-Trumpers. OMG - President Trump did not say these EXACT words!!!! "radical Islamic terrorist".

What he did say is: Later today, we will make history again with the opening of a new Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology – located right here, in this central part of the Islamic World.
This groundbreaking new center represents a clear declaration that Muslim-majority countries must take the lead in combatting radicalization, and I want to express our gratitude to King Salman for this strong demonstration of leadership.

As we deny terrorist organizations control of territory and populations, we must also strip them of their access to funds. We must cut off the financial channels that let ISIS sell oil, let extremists pay their fighters, and help terrorists smuggle their reinforcements.

His Great Sin apparently is that he did not use the word "radical"

I will look for a transcript of King Salman's Speech, which immediately preceded President Trump's Speech - he spoke of the new Terrorist Financing Targeting Center and the agreement they all signed to support it and abide by it's charge - King Salman said that they all agreed to punishments against those in their own Nations that fund these Extremist Terrorists - that's really important because members of their own familiies are among those doing the financing. That is YUGE - as President Trump would say.

Donald Trump's remarks on the Terrorist Financing Center:

I am proud to announce that the nations here today will be signing an agreement to prevent the financing of terrorism, called the Terrorist Financing Targeting Center – co-chaired by the United States and Saudi Arabia, and joined by every member of the Gulf Cooperation Council. It is another historic step in a day that will be long remembered.

I also applaud the Gulf Cooperation Council for blocking funders from using their countries as a financial base for terror, and designating Hezbollah as a terrorist organization last year. Saudi Arabia also joined us this week in placing sanctions on one of the most senior leaders of Hezbollah.

As we deny terrorist organizations control of territory and populations, we must also strip them of their access to funds. We must cut off the financial channels that let ISIS sell oil, let extremists pay their fighters, and help terrorists smuggle their reinforcements.


I see no point is comparing Obama's Cairo Speech to Students and the Muslim Brotherhood to Donald Trump's Speech on Combating Terrorism with serious repercussions against Financing it and a signed pack among Muslim Leadership. Obama's Speech was well received in the USA -- not so much where is really counts - In the Muslim World.

Obama is the Past, Trump is the future.

Wrong. Libs need to listen and comprehend what is being said and written.

I agree - the transcript in the USA at The Hill also leaves out some of what he said.

The Arab News is also confirming the Haaratz report. The headlines in Arab Press is significant.

Trump: Muslim countries must take lead in fighting terror |ArabNews

RIYADH: The US President Donald Trump said the fight against extremism is “a battle between good and evil,” calling on Muslim nations to take a lead in stamping out terror.

“The path to peace begins right here,” he said.

The president, who is on his first foreign tour since taking office, was addressing leaders of Muslim-majority countries at the Arab Islamic US Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

He said that every nation must shoulder the burden of rooting our terrorism from their countries.

“Every nation has an absolute duty to ensure that terrorists find no quarter on their soil,” he said.

Trump said terrorist groups “do nothing to inspire but kill.”

He said all countries must work together to “honestly” confront “the crisis of Islamist extremism and the Islamist terror groups it inspires.”


The Bottom Line from today's speech is exactly what the Arab Headline says -- Muslim Nations MUST take the lead in fighting Extremists - the US will partner with them, but we can't do it for them.

Don't we all agree that is the way it must be?

Obama was bought and paid for, weak and some say wants Muslims to take over the world.You will never convince his supporters to believe that reality because they simply wont objectively consider the facts.

I'm glad Trump gave a good speech over there, but actions speak louder than words. That goes for the leaders of all the countries over there too.
