Trump urges Muslim leaders to lead fight against radicalisation - BBC

US President Donald Trump has urged Muslim countries to take the lead in combating radicalisation in a major speech in Saudi Arabia.
"Drive them out of this earth," he told regional leaders in Riyadh, as part of his first official trip abroad.  Mr Trump blamed Iran, Saudi Arabia's rival, for instability in the region.

'Good vs evil'

Speaking in the Saudi capital to leaders of 55 Muslim-majority countries, Mr Trump called this a "new chapter", saying he was not there to "lecture" them or impose the American way of life.

The fight against extremism, he added, was not a battle between different faiths: "This is a battle between good and evil".

"A better future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists, and drive out the extremists".

But, he added, the countries could not wait for "American power" to act, and had to "fulfil their part of the burden".

Meanwhile, the US and six Gulf states were expected to sign a deal to co-ordinate their efforts aimed at cutting off sources of money for extremist groups, including so-called Islamic State (IS). - Read More
