President Trump referred to "Islamic terror" during his speech to the Muslim world in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
"There's still much work to be done," he said. "That means honestly confronting the crisis of Islamic extremism and the Islamists and Islamic terror of all kinds."
That comment was a departure from his prepared remarks. They read, "That means honestly confronting the crisis of Islamist extremism and the Islamist terror groups it inspires."
Trump veered off prepared text released by WH when he said "confronting the crisis of Islamic extremism...Islamic terror of all kinds."

During his speech, Trump did not mention "radical Islamic terrorism," a phrase that he chastised President Obama for not using when he was in office.
In his #RiyadhSummit speech, @realDonaldTrump did not say the phrase "radical islamic terrorism" but he did refer to "islamic terror"
