    AL ARABIYA: President Bush framed the war on terror conceptually in a way that was very broad, "war on terror," and used sometimes certain terminology that the many people - Islamic fascism. You've always framed it in a different way, specifically against one group called al Qaeda and their collaborators. And is this one way of...

    PRESIDENT OBAMA: I think that you're making a very important point. And that is that the language we use matters.[/b] And what we need to understand is, is that there are extremist organizations ??? whether Muslim or any other faith in the past ??? that will use faith as a justification for violence. We cannot paint with a broad brush a faith as a consequence of the violence that is done in that faith's name.[/b]
