US President Barack Obama has urged global leaders to rally against extremism in an address to the UN General Assembly in New York.
Mr Obama said it was the obligation of all leaders to speak out forcefully against violence and extremism, as he framed his speech with references to the US ambassador murdered in Libya.
Unrest across the Middle East is set to dominate discussion at the summit.
Mr Obama also again stressed the US would not allow Iran nuclear weapons.
He said the US would "do what we must" to stop Tehran acquiring nuclear arms. Six weeks before the US election, the president said a nuclear-armed Iran was "not a challenge that can be contained". 'Marginalise hatred'
Iran's nuclear programme and the 18-month conflict in Syria have featured strongly in Tuesday's speeches at the Assembly, as have the recent protests across the Muslim world in response to a US-made video mocking the Prophet Muhammad. US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens in August 2012 Mr Stevens was one of four US officials killed in this month's attack on the US consulate in Benghazi
The US president condemned the violence that erupted over the "disgusting" anti-Islam video as "an attack on UN ideals".

We are not being attacked by extremist Obama. We are being attacked by muslims. PERIOD. Until you accept that or admit that you will never be a leader...........
Meaning Limbaugh is now on Oslama’s hit list.
Most people don’t understand Obamaspeak. The rest is all lip service directed at the “noise” on the right. The money line is that the Prophet of Islam will come before Americans’ freedoms.
The left doesn’t recognize freedom to do the “wrong” thing, as determined by them.
Muhammed was a false prophet (duh), so if the future will not permit his “slander” there must be global Jihad. Islam must be promoted to the exclusion of all other religions.
Slander is a legal term Lawyer Obama, please identify the slander and demonstrate its factual inaccuracy.
“If only film makers didn’t offend Islam, none of this violence would have happened!” - Paraphrasing His Oneness.
If obama is opposed to extremest why does he support islamic thugs.
I think WE are the extremists in Obama’s world.
It’s a pretty extreme thing to demand that the Catholic Church violate their own teaching regarding contraception and abortion..
What about the moral relative extremist? Does Obama dare condemn himself? High out of wedlock births, sexual disease which is costly, jaded hearts that build resentment, a perpetual welfare class, lack of a moral compass in the business world, etc...yeah, you go all you moral relative extremist.
