Obama at Easter Prayer Breakfast: Terrorists Trying to 'Weaken Our Faith'

President Barack Obama said an Easter prayer breakfast at the White House on Wednesday took on new meaning following a pair of "horrific acts of terrorism" that killed scores of people in the capital of Belgium and in one of Pakistan's largest cities.

Obama said the terrorists want to "weaken our faith" and cause people to retaliate against those who look or pray differently. He counseled against succumbing to those particular temptations.

He said his final Easter prayer breakfast as president was bittersweet, and he thanked the clergy members for working with him over the years. He promised that their partnerships will continue after he leaves office, in January.
