(White House) "I chose to make my first foreign visit a trip to the heart of the Muslim world, to the nation that serves as custodian of the two holiest sites in the Islamic Faith." "Above all we must be united in pursuing the one goal that transcends every other consideration. That goal is...to conquer extremism and vanquish the forces of terrorism....A better future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and extremists. Drive. Them. Out....Muslim nations must be willing to take on the burden, if we are going to defeat terrorism and send its wicked ideology into oblivion." "For decades, Iran has fueled the fires of sectarian conflict and terror. It is a government that speaks openly of mass murder, vowing the destruction of Israel, death to America, and ruin for many leaders and nations in this room....Bolstered by Iran, Assad has committed unspeakable crimes....Until the Iranian regime is willing to be a partner for peace, all nations of conscience must work together to isolate Iran, deny it funding for terrorism, and pray for the day when the Iranian people have the just and righteous government they deserve."
