Reaction and analysis from muslim scholars, military experts, lawmakers and pulitzer winning prize reporter who also lived in the middle east. First, President Trump on the choice he believes the muslim world must now make. Terrorism has spread all across the world, but the path to peace begins right here on this ancient soil in this sacred land. America is prepared to stand with you, in pursuit of shared interests and common security, but the nations of the middle east cannot wait for American Power to crush this enemy for them. The nations of the middle east will have to decide what kind of future they want for themselves, for their country, and frankly, for their families and for their children.
