New Saudi ambassador to the US calls for global fight against terrorism

From the Arab News:

The newly appointed Saudi ambassador to the United States, Prince Turki Al-Faisal, yesterday called for increased international cooperation to combat extremism. The “scourge of terrorism” has “defiled our world,” he said.

As keynote speaker at the Middle East Institute’s annual conference, Prince Turki spoke to a packed standing-room-only audience and cautioned against the West’s tendency to link Islam with terrorism. “One of the greatest challenges facing our world is terrorism and the misunderstanding it has created about Islam and the Islamic world,” he said.

The ambassador called terrorism the biggest single threat to international peace and stability, which “spreads fear and destroys bonds between people and nations.”

Yo, Turk. No one believes you.
