Then, Jordan's King Abdullah II delivered a speech in which he said: "Let me start by thanking my brother, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its hospitality and graciously hosting this summit. Allow me to express my gratitude for taking this step to reach out to Muslim nations, and making it a priority on your first foreign tour as President of the United States. We meet today to advance an effective response to the serious threats facing our world. The future for all of us will be shaped by the actions we take now, and we all have to work in partnership in four key areas. Let me say a brief word about each: First and foremost, is the grave challenge of terrorism and extremism. Only a holistic approach can address the complex layers of the threat, from its evil ideas to its attack on prosperity and security. As you have mentioned, this demands coordinated and global action at every level. Success requires our mutual trust as well as our strength. The fight will not be won if we do not recognize our friends as our friends and our enemies as our enemies. Terrorist groups employ a false religious identity. Their aim is to mislead and polarize our societies and peoples. Let us state here, clearly: Terrorist groups do not inhabit the fringes of Islam-they are altogether outside Islam; they are khawarej, outlaws of Islam. Arabs and Muslims make up the majority of their victims. Intolerance and ignorance will only aid terror groups. It is vital to help everyone, everywhere, understand this. A second and equally vital challenge is a just and comprehensive settlement of the Palestinian cause, based on the two-state solution and the Arab Peace Initiative. This can bring an end to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and guarantees peace for all-Israelis, Arabs, and Muslims. No injustice has spread more bitter fruit than the absence of a Palestinian state. This is the core issue for our region, and it has driven radicalism and instability beyond our region and into the Muslim world. The international community has a direct interest in a just peace. The Arab and Muslim world has offered its full support for effective negotiations. Here, I would like to thank you, President Trump, for your determination to work towards bringing a settlement to this festering conflict. Third, safeguarding Jerusalem must be a priority. The Holy City is a strategic linchpin, vital to relationships amongst the three monotheistic faiths. Attempts to create new negotiating facts on the ground would have a catastrophic impact. A fourth critical task is to sharpen public focus on the values that will protect and enrich humanity's future: mutual respect, compassion, and acceptance. In the Muslim world, the voice of traditional, moderate Islam has been stronger in recent years. We need to continue to build on that. There are nearly two billion Muslim men and women today, who enrich our world with their kindness, generosity, justice, civic family duty, and faith. Their lives express Islam's teachings on acceptance, humility before God, compassion, and peaceful co-existence." --More 21:52 LOCAL TIME 18:52 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w410172
