US Secretary of State John Kerry has said that terror attacks similar to the one on a military-run school in Peshawar cannot be rationalized.
According to the Express Tribune, during a speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, Kerry said that this kind of atrocity can never be rationalized, adding that it was not possible to change minds without knowing what's in them.
Speaking on growing violent terrorist attacks, Kerry said that in the fight against "terror", there was "no room for anti-Semitism or Islamophobia".
Kerry said "violent extremism has claimed violence at every corner of the globe and Muslim lives most of all."
He added there was no room for sectarian division or for anti-Semitism or Islamophobia.
