We cannot solve the problem of terrorism by asserting our will on the world.

We are in a global war with a radical and violent form of the Islamic religion, and it is irresponsible and dangerous to deny it.

Our ideals are under the constant threat of extremism, whether in the form of radical Muslim groups or the emergence of other elements seeking to deny the rights and freedoms of others.

We must recognize that we cannot allow the Islamic State to continue to present an existential threat to America.

Put simply, we are still at war with radical Islamic groups and an ideological movement that can't be ignored nor wished away.

We can't be afraid to call the enemy what it is: Radical Islamic terrorism.

We need to make sure these Islamic terrorist organizations don't become mainstream. We're fighting an ideology as much as a group of radical terrorists.

We will not let terrorists change our way of life; we will not live in fear; and we will not undermine the civil liberties that characterize our Democracy.

The goal of isolating extremists and making them unwelcome in Muslim communities has been abandoned.

This radical Islam is a religious-based ideology. And you actually have to, when you deal with the ideology, you have to attack it on that basis.
