Obama Gives Advice to Would-Be Terrorists

If President Barack Obama were to sit down with a young jihadi, he would tell them to use their faith to build things, rather than harm them, NBC News reported.

Obama was asked about his advice for disillusioned youth thinking of joining groups like ISIS in an interview with a French broadcaster Tuesday. He said militants take advantage of young people's isolation and lonelines.

"This gives them something to attach themself to despite that fact that (ISIS is) a cult of death," he said.

In Paris for the United Nations climate change summit, Obama also took time to show his support for France, still reeling from a terrorist attack that left 130 people dead on Nov. 13. But he also joked with broadcaster Canal Plus about the current and former presidents of France and why he wouldn't move to Paris.
