		</div><p>US president Donald Trump will tell Muslim leaders that stamping out terror threats will require &#8220;honestly confronting the crisis of Islamist extremism and the Islamist terror groups it inspires&#8221;.</p>
<p>In excerpts released by the White House ahead of his speech on Sunday, Mr Trump will call for unity across the Muslim world in the fight against terrorism.</p>
<p>He will tell an audience of leaders of Muslim-majority countries that he is &#8220;not here to lecture&#8221; and &#8220;not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be, or how to worship&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects, or different civilizations,&#8221; but &#8220;a battle between good and evil&#8221;, he will say.</p>
<p>Mr Trump often used anti-Islamic rhetoric during his presidential campaign and repeatedly stressed the need to say the words &#8220;radical Islamic terrorism.&#8221; That phrase was missing from a draft of the speech obtained by The Associated Press.</p>
<p>His speech, the centrepiece of his two-day visit to Saudi Arabia, will address the leaders of 50 Muslim-majority countries and comes amid a renewed courtship of the United States&#8217; Arab allies as the president held individual meetings with leaders of several nations, including Egypt and Qatar.</p>
<p>He was then participating in round table talks with the Gulf Cooperation Council before joining Saudi King Salman in opening Riyadh&#8217;s new anti-terrorism centre.</p>
<p>A meeting with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi underscored the kinship, with Mr Trump saluting his counterpart on the April release of Egyptian-American charity worker Aya Hijazi, who had been detained in the country for nearly three years.</p>
<p>Mr El-Sissi invited Mr Trump to visit him in Egypt, adding: <i>&#8220;You are a unique personality that is capable of doing the impossible.&#8221;</i> As the participants laughed, Mr Trump responded: <i>&#8220;I agree.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>In a meeting with the king of Bahrain, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Mr Trump said the two countries &#8220;have a wonderful relationship&#8221; but &#8220;there has been a little strain&#8221; and vowed to improve things further.</p>
<p>He did not specify what tension he needed to resolve. The two countries have had a long-term military alliance, though the US was critical of Bahrain&#8217;s response to uprisings during the Arab Spring.</p>
<p>Mr Trump&#8217;s prepared address also notably refrains from mentioning democracy and human rights &#8211; topics Arab leaders often view as US moralising &#8211; in favour of the more limited goals of peace and stability.</p>
