US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday that militant attacks such as the one on the ArmyPublic School in Peshawar cannot be rationalised.
“This kind of atrocity can never be rationalised,” said Kerry adding that, “We can’t change minds without knowing what’s in them.”
In an emotional speech on Friday on the horrors inflicted by extremist groups, Kerry said that in the fight against “terror”, there was “no room for anti-Semitism or Islamophobia”.
“Violent extremism has claimed violence at every corner of the globe and muslim lives most of all,” Kerry said.
“There is no room for sectarian division. There is no room for anti-Semitism or Islamophobia,” he added.
Kerry told an audience in Davos that he would visit Nigeria “in a couple of days” as part of a Washington push to counter extremist groups, including Boko Haram.
