Terrorists always have the advantage of surprise.
We still lack a global definition of terrorism.
The majority of the world's Muslims do not believe that terrorism is a legitimate strategy or that Islam is incompatible with democracy.

The central role in the fight against terrorism is with national authorities.
It's important that we work very closely with moderate Muslim forces locally, nationally and internationally.
