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.

If it’s from the Whitehouse it should be called the ‘broken arrow’ conference.

Contrary to popular and media assumptions, the WH main focus will be on “world security” for muslim communities - now under threat from non-believers ...
Yeah. Probably there'll be a breakout-session on "Preventing Backlash."
What are the odds?
Exactly, never let a crisis go to waste,
That sunni muslim in the white house is just looking for more reasons to strengthen its demonic hold over us while at the same time lessening basic freedoms and where possible to diminish Christianity,
This evil man greatly desires to see the internet freedoms rolled back, I’m surprised he hasn’t made it further along already, but it is coming,
These meetings, conferences and summits are about nothing more than providing additional opportunities to empower it, stamped with the congressional seal of approval,
To be followed by a special invitation-only session on preventing whiplash - lawyers not invited ...
To the degree he can, he will turn international efforts away from things which would impede Islamism, toward self-defeating delusions which will help to undermine Western society.
To the degree that he can’t control the direction of international efforts, he will collect intelligence to warn the Islamists.
Obama seeks globull advice on controlling internet speech of conservatives
A little cold for a beer at the picnic table.
This will be nothing but a “how do we proved we really really love Muslims” and the “real threat is conservative right wingers and we need gun control” summit.
If they don't come, he'll tap their phones again.
He can tout the success of his program to fight terrorists(drug gangs) by giving them automatic and semi-auto AK’s via ‘Fast and Furious’.
Also go over all the military material he left behind in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And arming the ‘moderate’ dissidents in Syria who turned out to be ISIS.
And his success fighting Israeli terrorists like Netanyahu.
Another Beer summit !!
