Sunday night for the first time, i will of the better sense of where we are. What i do know is this letter was absolutely calculated directly to interfere with these negotiations. It specifically inserts itself directly to the leader of another country, saying dont negotiate with these guys. Because we are going to change this. Which by the way, is not only contrary to the constitution with respect to the executives right to negotiate, but it is incorrect area because they cannot change an executive agreement. Its false information, and directly calculated to interfere. And basically say dont negotiate with them, you have to schedule negotiate with numbers of congress. That unprecedented. You can hear more on face the nation, being rebroadcast on cspan radio. Next up, remarks from King Abdullah of jordan, recently addressed the European Parliament about europes role in combating terrorism.

[applause] [speaking in native tongue] translator in the name of god members and distinguished members allow me to thank the citizens of strasbourg for their warm hospitality. Allow me this city is an important symbol of war to peace. A symbol of reconciliation and a united europe. [applause] my friends, people find where there is Mutual Respect civilization is built on it. Futures are better for it. Coexistence must be made and made again in every generation. The common good has defended only by vigilance and action and this means more than security measures. Humanity must arm itself with ideas, with justice, and with economic and social inclusion. Today these challenges have a special importance. Our world faces an assault by terrorists with ruthless ambition. The motive is not faith. It is powered pursued by ripping countries and communities apart in sectarian conflicts and inflicting suffering across the world. [applause] the murder of jordans pilot outraged all jordanians and horrified the world. Jordans response has been swift, serious and determined and our fight will continue. [applause] we and other arab and Muslim States defend not only are our people but our faith. , this is a fight that has to be carried out by muslim nations first and foremost. [applause] this is a fight within islam and at the same time the danger of extremism must be seen for what it is, global. The threat is not only syria and iraq. It has struck libya, yemen sinai, mali, nigeria the whole of africa asia the americas and australia. Europe has suffered despicable attacks and shown unbeatable courage. Your friends are with you. In january we joined millions of people in france who marched united against violence and intimidation. My friends, there are those living in europe today to who remember the ravages that struck the continent in the late 1930s and the world war that followed because of an aggressive ideology based on hatred and disregard for the very essence of humanity. Europes war became the worlds war. Today we are fighting a similar war, a war against an expansionist ideology that feeds on hate. That is committing murder in the name of god and religion to justify evil actions that no religion tolerates. A war against terrorists who disrespect this land values and humanities values. Our victory now depends on our unity and europes role is vital. Only by cooperation can our regions shut down the sources of terrorist support and defeat their purposes. And it is also essential that our regions renew the source of our strength. The Mutual Respect that binds and sustains us. Young people especially must be inspired by values that reject violence, create peace and build inclusive societies. [applause] and let me suggest three areas of importance. The first is meaningful interfaith outreach, engaging people where they live. The dialogue overstocked is the of respect is the rock bed of all societies. Attacking and excluding others , insulting other people send peoples and their faith and their convictions, this is no way forward. The future lies in unity and respect, not division and stereotypes. [applause] europe is an important partner in this effort, especially in helping to stop the global rise of islamophobia. This poisonous this poisonous based on false ideas and helps play into the hands of these extremists. This is what is important to clarify. What it really means to be a muslim and i and countless other muslims have been taught from our earliest years that our religion perspective or others. Demanded respect and caring for others. The prophet mohammed, peace and blessings be upon him, says none of you has faith until you love your neighbor what you love for yourself. This is what it means to be a muslim. Among the very names of god we hear the compassionate film are , all merciful. All my life, everyday i have heard the greetings. I wish for the other to be blessed with peace. This is what it means to be a muslim. [applause] more than 1000 years ago, before the geneva conventions, muslim soldiers were ordered not to kill a child, a woman or an old person. Nor to destroy a tree, not to harm a priest or destroy a church. These are the same values of islam luper taught in school as children, not to destroy or desecrate a place where god is worshiped, not a mosque, not a church, not a synagogue. [applause] this is what it means to be a muslim. These are the values i teach my children, and they will hand it on to theirs. My friends, im outraged and grieved by the recent attacks in some countries against christian and minority communities. This is an offense against humanity as well as islam. Arab christians are an integral part of our regions past present and future. [applause] jordan is a Muslim Country with a deeplyrooted christian community. Together, the jordanian people make up and indivisible society. Friends and partners in building our country. The worlds muslims have a Critical Role in the global understanding. Our faith like yours commands mercy, peace and tolerance and upholds as yours does the equal Human Dignity of every person, men and women, neighbors and strangers. Those allies of islam who deny these truths are vastly outnumbered. 1. 6 billion muslims were piping in fact these terrorist have made the worlds muslims their greatest target. We will not allow them to hijack our faith. [applause] my friends, the second area key to Global Global harmony is an International System that gives all people the respect they want and deserve. Again and again i hear the question why doesnt the world defend palestinian rights . Time after time the Peace Process has stalled. And let me say what the situation looks like in reality. More israeli settlement building, less respect for the occupied palestinians. This failure sends a dangerous message. The roads trust in International Law and community. It threatens the pillar of world peace that conflicts must be solved by political means not by force, and it has given the extremists in power for rallying cry. They exploit the injustices to build legitimacy and recruit foreign fighters across europe and the world. [applause] it is time to think about the future and how this ongoing conflict will breed further hate, violence and terror across the world. How can we fight the ideological battle if we do not chart the way forward toward palestinianisraeli peace . Our countries united must provide the momentum and chart the way forward toward a final, comprehensive settlement. [applause] ladies and gentlemen, a critical effort radicalization thrives on economic insecurity and exclusion. To create stakeholders in a peaceful world, people need opportunities to fill their potential and build good lives. Helping them is a powerful message of respect. The European Parliament has recognized the importance of creating social and Economic Opportunities in naming 2015 the year of development. For Jordan Development is a priority and despite all the challenges, we have asked the lord to meet urgent needs to grow jobs, improve the quality of life, continue reforms. Jordan values our Strong Partnership with the European Union and its member states. We are committed with your support to Work Together to work more advanced levels of partnership. [applause] jordan also takes seriously our moral obligations to others. Despite scarce resources the people of jordan have open their arms to refugees. As the president mentioned earliers, jordan has taken him thousands of iraqi christians, giving shelter to 1. 4 million Syrian Refugees which is 20 of the population over the past few years. [applause] this is more than the equipment of france more than the equivalent of france hosting the entire population of belgium. Our country is the Third Largest refugee host and i thank all of you helping us to uphold this global responsibility. [applause] my friends, your support sends a message, that not only to my people, but those who seek to move forward in peace and moderation, europe is with you. Our regions, our people can find no better partners and neighbors than each other. History, geography and the future bind us. Let no one separate us because together, we can create pillars of Mutual Respect that will support the common good for generations to come. Thank you very much. [applause] we might have even had more applause its a long time since we have had such a good speech in parliament. A very warm thank you to our very welcome guest and i think the applause shows the appreciation. Thank you very much for that wonderful speech. [applause]
