“There has to be a zero tolerance policy to any country, organization, or individual that facilitates, supports or finances terror groups or provides weapons or promotes propaganda, whether through media outlets or misusing religious clerics, that incites or helps recruit fighters to these terrorist groups.

6. SOUNDBITE (English) David Cameron, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom:
“This has nothing to do with the religion of Islam, the religion of peace.

“Not even a year ago, the possibility that the Syrian government was the great enemy was being considered, and that those fighting against it were freedom fighters.

10. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Sergey Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation:
“Russia has consistently advocated international cooperation to curb terrorism in any form and abandoning double standards diving good terrorism and bad terrorism.

11. Med shot, Obama
12. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Wang Yi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of China:
“Social media has become a battlefield for terrorists and extremist groups to spread their ideology and to plan terrorists attacks and a platform to recruit terrorists.

We must stay alert for terrorist organizations and extremist ideologies are competing with us for the future generations.”

16. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President of Turkey:

17. Wide shot, Security Council
18. SOUNDBITE (English) Uhuru Kenyatta, President of Kenya:
“Half the terrorists who executed the Westgate attack were foreigners drawn from ranks that had come to fight alongside al-Shabbab.

20. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, President of the United States:
“I want to reaffirm that the United States will be committed not simply to a military approach but that we also are deeply committed to working with every single country that is prepared to cooperate in making sure that the scourge of terrorism and the use of foreign fighters for perverted ambitions is supported, and that we are going to make sure that we reach out to each of you individually to find out how we can be helpful and cooperative with you.”
