“Our world faces an assault by terrorists with ruthless ambition. The motive is not faith, it is power; power pursued by ripping countries and communities apart in sectarian conflicts, and inflicting suffering across the world.”

Abdullah II of Jordan (1962) King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

Context: People thrive where there is mutual respect. Civilisation is built on it. Futures are better for it.

Today, these challenges have special importance. Our world faces an assault by terrorists with ruthless ambition. The motive is not faith, it is power; power pursued by ripping countries and communities apart in sectarian conflicts, and inflicting suffering across the world.
