President Donald Trump laid out a vision of cooperation between the United States and Middle East allies based on “principled realism rooted in common values” in the fight to stamp out violent extremism, during a speech Sunday at the Arab Islamic American Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The president called on all of the 55 nations represented at the summit to set aside their cultural and religious differences, practice tolerance, and unite in a shared goal of ending the scourge of extremism.

“Drive them out. Drive them out of your places of worship. Drive them out of your communities. Drive them out of your holy land. And drive them out of this earth.”

After painting a hopeful picture of what the future could bring for the Middle East and for the rest of the world, Trump insisted this future can only be achieved through squelching “terrorism and the ideology that drives it.”

“We are adopting a principled realism rooted in common values, shared interests, and common sense,” Trump said. “Our friends will never question our support, and our enemies will never doubt our determination.”

Assuring his counterparts that he is “not here to lecture” them and tell them “how to live, what to do, who to be, or how to worship,” Trump insisted that he was there “to offer partnership based on shared interests and values to pursue a better future for all of us.”

Trump covered several main topics during his speech, which spanned roughly 30 minutes.

Empowering Women
In a historic and bold step, the president addressed the oppressed plight of many Muslim women who live in countries represented at the summit and who do not enjoy equality with their male peers. Noting that combating terrorism means standing for the rights of everyone, Trump called on Arab and Muslim nations to enact reforms that value people of all faiths and empower women.

“And it means standing together against the murder of innocent Muslims, the oppression of women, the persecution of Jews, and the slaughter of Christians,” Trump said. “Religious leaders must make this absolutely clear. Barbarism will deliver you no glory.”

Isolating Iran
Speaking just one day after the re-election of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Trump said the Iranian people have suffered “hardship and despair under their leaders’ reckless pursuit of conflict and terror.”

The president hammered Iran as a major source of violence, terrorism and instability across the region in an unmistakable reversal of his predecessor’s attempts at appeasing Tehran.

“From Lebanon to Iraq and Yemen, Iran funds, arms and trains terrorists, militias, and other extremist groups that spread destruction and chaos across the region,” Trump said. “For decades Iran has fueled the fires of sectarian conflict and terror. It’s 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 very room.”

Trump asked the assembled Arab and Muslim leaders Sunday to work with the U.S. to isolate the Iranian regime and pressure its leadership into abandoning its destabilizing activities.

“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 — cannot do it — and pray for the day when the Iranian people have the just and righteous government they so richly deserve,” Trump said.

Seeking a Middle Eastern Renaissance
The president praised the Middle East for its rich history and deep cultural significance even as he lamented the destruction that radical extremists have wreaked upon their countries.

“Young Muslim boys and girls should be able to grow up free from fear, safe from violence, and innocent of hatred,” Trump said. “The birthplace of civilization is waiting to begin a new renaissance. Just imagine what tomorrow could bring — glorious wonders of science, art, medicine and commerce to inspire mankind. Great cities built on the ruins of shattered towns.”

In order to achieve this renewal, the president urged Muslim-majority countries to “take the lead in combating radicalization,” adding, “this region should not be a place from which refugees flee, but to which newcomers flock.”

“The potential of this region has never, ever been greater. Sixty-five percent of its population is under the age of 30. Like all young men and women, they seek great futures to build, great national projects to join, and a place for their families to call home,” Trump said. “But this untapped potential, this tremendous optimism is held at bay by bloodshed and terror.”

A New Era of Cooperation and Tolerance Between Christians, Muslims and Jews
Trump noted that Muslims, Jews and Christians alike have suffered at the hand of violent radicals seeking to wreak destruction and sow despair. In order to most effectively and completely defeat radical terrorists, the president urged the members of all religions to set aside their differences and work together.

“But above all, we must be united in pursuing the one goal that transcends every other consideration,” Trump said. “That goal is to meet history’s great test to conquer extremism and vanquish the forces that terrorism brings with it every single time.”

“If we do not stand in uniform condemnation of this killing, then not only will we be judged by our people, not only will be judged by history, but we will be judged by God,” Trump added. “This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilizations. This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life and decent people, all in the name of religion.”

Noting that the Middle East has been the home of Christians, Jews and Muslims alike for centuries, Trump urged them to “practice tolerance and respect for each other again” to make this region a place “where every man and woman, no matter their faith or ethnicity, can enjoy a life of dignity and hope.”

“When we look upon the stains of innocent blood soaked into the ancient ground, we cannot see the faith or sect or tribe of the victims. We see only that they were children of God whose deaths are an insult to all that is holy,” Trump said. “But we can only overcome this evil if the forces of good are united and strong, and if everyone in this room does their fair share and fulfills their part of the burden.”

Cracking Down on Terrorist Financing
The president also urged the Middle Eastern countries to refuse “sanctuary” to terrorists and their organizations and deny them the resources and funding they need to carry out acts of violence and recruit new converts to their cause.

“There can be no coexistence with this violence. There can be no tolerating it, no accepting it, no escaping it, and no ignoring it,” Trump said. “Every time a terrorist murders an innocent person and falsely invokes the name of God, it should be an insult to every person of faith.”

Saying that a “choice between two futures” lays before the countries gathered, the president insisted that America cannot make that choice for them.

“Will we be indifferent in the presence of evil? Will we protect our citizens from its violent ideology? Will we let its venom spread through our societies? Will we let it destroy the most holy sites on earth?” Trump said. “If we do not confront this deadly terror, we know what the future will bring — more suffering, more death, and more despair.”

“A better future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and drive out the extremists,” Trump added. “Drive them out. Drive them out of your places of worship. Drive them out of your communities. Drive them out of your holy land. And drive them out of this earth.”
