As the electoral competition between the Republicans and the Democrats is going through difficulties, the American media, especially those on the side of the Republicans, censored parts of Republican Rudy Giulianis speech against Muslims - a speech in which he called them terrorists.
Rudy Giuliani, New Yorks former mayor and one of McCains former rivals, said in an interview that the issue was that Islam was more dangerous than terrorism. Please tell me, who[m] are they are insulting if they say Islamic terrorism. They are insulting terrorists!", he said. [Editor's Note: this quote is actually from his RNC speech, unlike the following.]
He continued: Most of the terrorists operate in the names of Allah and God and call their activities divine. These groups are connected together worldwide, but we dont want to speak about the Jewish and the Christian terrorists right now."
I believe that the Muslim terrorists are real and should be the center of attention. Im not fanatical or hypocritical, but I speak about realities.
He claimed that there were various terrorist groups including Muslim, Christian and Jewish terrorist groups, but that he was addressing the Muslim terrorist groups and their areas of influence worldwide. He also criticized the fact that the Christian and Jewish terrorist groups were not recognized yet.
The former mayor also claimed that there are only religious terrorist groups active currently and most of them are Islamic Groups.

While Washington claims Tehran desires an agreement, Iran insists no dialogue will take place without the lifting of sanctions and guarantees respecting its nuclear rights.
The reconciliation culminated in Al-Sharaa’s visit to the White House last week, the first by a Syrian president, and the announcement that Syria had become the 90th member of the US-led Global Coalition Against Daesh.
