"SNIP...............



The White House on Tuesday will begin hosting a three-day summit to examine ways to counter violent extremism.

The meeting will put a special emphasis on domestic and international efforts to prevent extremists and their backers from radicalizing young people.

The conference, which has been in the works for months, comes just days after fighters with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) executed 21 Egyptians and terrorist attacks in Copenhagen left two people dead.

President Obama is slated to address the summit, which will include representatives from more than 60 countries, during events at the White House and at the State Department.

with an aid package or plans that will inspire muslim youth to not join ISIS. It seems that, with lack of good government, youth are really vulnerable to aspirational/grievance based cults. Even western youth are vulnerable to it. I wonder if the GOP will learn from this how important good government is to combating cults. And what the USA could look like if good government is destroyed..... all so their very own $$$ GOP cult can rule.
