President Obama Speaks at the Summit on Countering Violent Extremism

President Barack Obama conducted a speech at a summit on countering violent extremism at the U.S. State Department on Thursday, February 19.

In his speech, the president spoke of his determination on eliminating the Islamic State (ISIS) by saying, “Some 60 nations, including Arab nations, will not relent in our mission to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL … And all of us have a responsibility to refute the notion that groups like ISIL somehow represent Islam, because that is a falsehood that embraces the terrorist narrative.” Credit: YouTube/The White House
