Trump warns Saudis: "Drive out foot soldiers of evil" or "be judged by God" [View all]

"Drive them out!" Trump said of terrorists to dozens of Muslim leaders who attended his remarks. "Of your places of worship, drive them out of your communities, drive them out of your Holy Land, and drive them out of this Earth!"

The speech during the initial stop of the president's first foreign trip was a stark contrast to his previous comments on Islam. As a candidate, Trump frequently criticized the religion, saying, "I think Islam hates us" and "there's a tremendous hatred there."

In Riyadh, Trump said, "This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilizations. This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect it."

Calling terrorists "the foot soldiers of evil," the president added, "If we do not stand in uniform condemnation of this killing, then we not only will be judged by our people, not only will we be judged by history, but we will be judged by God."
