The challenges NATO is facing in Europe and in the Middle East are very different, but there is a common thread. In both cases, we are confronted by forces that reject our values and seek to overturn the international rules-based order. ISIL’s violent ideology is pouring oil on the fire of extremism and sectarianism that is already burning across the Middle East and North Africa. But it also risks exporting terrorism much further afield, including to NATO and EU member states. And so it represents a fundamental threat to the security and stability of all our countries, and to the very fabric of our societies.
