PARIS, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- A summit on fight against "violent extremism" will be held in Washington DC, after deadly terrorist attacks happened in Paris, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said here on Sunday.

The security summit will be held in Washington DC on Feb. 18, said Holder, who participated in Sunday's republican march on behalf of U.S. President Barack Obama.

"We will bring together all of our allies to discuss ways in which we can counteract this violent extremism that exists around the world," Holder said.

Holder is in Paris to attend a meeting, organised by French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, during which 11 European interior ministers met to discuss measures to deepen cooperation to prevent future attacks.

I'm glad they're begin transparent and descriptive w/r the subject of the Summit to avoid confusion. I wonder when they are going to address the equally serious problem of 'non-violent extremism'.

News Flash! Important correction. Summit to be held to fight against ISLAMIC violent extremism...

There now I have said it...what so many politicians seem afraid to say...call it like it is...do not let these thugs intimidate you...

And yes...I am personally armed and dangerous for those who would try to force their religion or medieval laws upon me and my family...

Let's hope some new ideas come forth.

The War on Terror has thrown petrol on the flames.

Perhaps prior to the conference a speech coach can help Eric Holder say the words Jihad and Islamism, as he seems completely unable to say either.
