Obama's Sunday Speech at the Oval Office

President Barack Obama addressed the nation from the Oval Office at the White House on Sunday night in Washington, D.C. One of the biggest messages the president tried to communicate to the American people was that a fear of terrorist attacks must not translate into a fear of all Muslims and spark unnecessary targeting. President Obama quoted "As we've become better at preventing complex multifaceted attacks like 9/11." The following quote is evidence of the growing influence of ISIS in particular, which had used social media and technology to expand its reach, has changed the dynamic. Donald Trump agreed to with the idea of creating a database to register Muslims in the U.S. But Obama emphasized that such backlash and division is exactly what terrorist group wants.
