A three-day summit, which begins in the US capital on Wednesday, will not link terrorism with Islam, says the White House.
“We are very, very clear that we do not believe that they (the terrorists) are representing Islam. There is absolutely no justification for these attacks in any religion,” a senior Obama administration official told journalists in Washington.
“You can call them what you want. We’re calling them terrorists,” said the official when a journalist said that extremists responsible for recent terrorist attacks were mostly Muslims.
