I'll be meeting with Prime Minister
Abadi of Iraq to discuss the need to
sustain that momentum.
As we take away more of their
territory, it exposes ISIL as the failed
cause that it is. And it helps to
undermine their ideology, which
over time will make it harder for
them to recruit and inspire people
to violence.
And we're going to continue to
enlist tech companies and
community and religious leaders to
push back against onfine extremist
content and all messages of hate.
At moments like this, I think it's
important to remember what
terrorists and violent extremists are
trying to do.
They are trying to hurt innocent
people, but they also want to inspire
fear in all of us, and disrupt the way
we live, to undermine our values.
And so, even as we have to be
vigilant and aggressive, both in
preventing senseless acts of violence
but also making sure that we find
those who carry out such acts and
bring them to justice, we all have a
role to play as citizens in making
sure that we don't succumb to that
fear. And there's no better example
of that than the people of New York
and New Jersey.
When I was speaking to Governor
Cuomo and Governor Christie and
Mayor De Blasio, one point that they
all made is, folks around here, they
don't get scared. They're tough,
they're resilient, they go about their
business every single day.
And that kind of toughness and
resoluteness, and a recognition that
neither individuals ~, nor
organizations like ISIL can
ultimately undermine our way of
life, that's the kind of strength that
makes me so proud to be an
American.
And that's the kind of strength
