We cannot let terrorists hold this nation hostile or hold our allies hostile.

Our nation must come together to unite.

Faith crosses every border and touches every heart in every nation.

We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbour them.

The terrorists are fighting freedom with all their cunning and cruelty because freedom is their greatest fear - and they should be afraid, because freedom is on the march.

The resolve of our great nation is being tested. But make no mistake, we will show the world that we will pass the test.
