President Trump Will Give a Speech on Islam in Saudi Arabia
Alana Abramson
May 16, 2017
President Trump will deliver a speech about radical Islam to leaders of Muslim countries when he is in Saudi Arabia for his first foreign trip, the White House said Tuesday.
The speech, said National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, will be "inspiring yet direct" about the need to confront radical ideology.
"The speech is intended to unite the broader Muslim world against common enemies of all civilization and to demonstrate America's commitment to our Muslim partners," said McMaster.
It is unclear if any of the the leaders from the seven Muslim-majority countries Trump initially singled out in his first executive order imposing a travel ban Iraq, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen will be in attendance at the meeting. The second draft of the order removed Iraq from this list, and both are currently held up in court.

Muhammad himself... So "Muslims" worship a religion called "Muslim"...no big stretch. The book of Muslim is also known as "The Korean..." (Spice, these people are so serious...can you tell a joke or dance or something to lighten them up? Wait, where are you going?)"

No, really, he was the first Muslim. He had the best people working for him. Really, really high achiever, he did a lot for Mecca, built this beautiful mosque."
