‘Could reach America in two months’

Makes Statement0 Comments

King Abdullah says terrorists could reach America within months if left unchecked:

If neglected, I am certain that after a month they will reach Europe and, after another month, America. Terror knows no borders and its danger could affect several countries outside the Middle East.

He adds that ISIS’s beliefs are against Islam and must be opposed:

I do ask you to transmit this message to your leaders: Fight terrorism with force, reason and speed. These terrorists do not know the name of humanity, and you have witnessed them severing heads and giving them to children to walk with in the street.
