U.S. President Barack Obama will invite allies to a Feb. 18 security summit in Washington to try and prevent violent extremism, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said on Sunday after meeting his European counterparts in Paris.
The gathering of justice and interior chiefs came as France mourned 17 victims of Islamist gunmen this week in the worst assault on its homeland security in decades.
"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 told reporters.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said after the meeting that European interior ministers had agreed to boost cooperation in an effort to thwart further jihadist attacks.
"We all agree that we need to put in place better control on certain passengers, on the basis of objective criteria and with respect for fundamental liberties and without disrupting cross-border travel," he said.
He said Europe needed urgent progress in establishing a European Passenger Name Record database, which would facilitate the exchange of data about passengers between member states.
"We are convinced of the need for such a tool, to follow those who travel to terrorist operating theaters or who return from there," he said, adding that this database would also be useful in the fight against other serious crimes.
Cazeneuve said the Internet needs to remain a space for free expression, but that Europe should fight against abusive use of the web to spread hate speech, anti-Semitic messages and the recruiting vulnerable young people for violence.
"We need to work more closely with Internet companies to guarantee the reporting and if possible removal of all content that amounts to an apology of terrorism or calls for violence and hatred," he said.

Obama is trying make himself relevant by trying to control Congresses Agenda
What if BO gave a summit and nobody came?
It would be funny if all the world leaders who attended the march today snubbed him.
Jake Tapper made it a point to say that he was personally disappointed (and not speaking for CNN) that there was no a higher level person representing the US at the march.
Will anyone ask Obama which side he’s on ?
You will not be welcomed there or anywhere in the civilized world, you Islamic terrorist punk.
Summits, rallys & hashtags is how to fight the satanic evil of islamic koranimals.
Good grief...
Above-the-pay-grade syndrome and the Peter Principle all in one.
“Will anyone ask Obama which side he’s on ?”
Why ask the question when you (and everyone else) already knows the answer?
Which side? It’s not in the article.
Well, let’s see who’s invited
Security summit...could go either way
Until the US government is willing to call it what it is, ISLAMIC TERRORISM, there is no point to this.
Top of the Agenda: The World-wide threat posed by the Tea Party, Christians and former military personnel.
“U.S. President Barack Obama will invite allies to a Feb. 18 security summit in Washington to try and prevent violent extremism, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said on Sunday after meeting his European counterparts in Paris. “
Pfffffffff! Yeah....ok.
The only 'hate speech' Obama's concerned about is that coming from Republicans and Conservatives... We know who Obama is... we can see into his heart.
Well, it is about preventing "violent extremism".../s
This is Obama’s answer to the savage attacks on civilization by Muslim jihadists. The community organizer can preen in front of the cameras and bore everyone to death with one of his Castro-style speeches...his idea of solving a problem.
He's insane.....given incidents like Ft Hood, Boston where these terrorists were given Free Tickets.
