The words are chillingly familiar......and the two individuals uttering them are chillingly similar.
With one glaring difference.
1. "A Muslim cannot be a terrorist; Islam does not produce terrorists
2. (Turkish President) Erdoğan rejects reference to ‘Islamic terror,'” Anadolu Agency, December 6, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Muslim cannot be a terrorist and Islam does not produce terrorists, the Turkish president said on Dec. 5, once again rejecting the term “Islamic terrorism”.
3. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said racism, discrimination and Islamophobia have spread like poison ivy in countries once seen as cradles of democracy.
Erdoğan’s remarks came at the inauguration ceremony of the Cambridge Central Mosque which he attended with first lady Emine Erdoğan and a group of high-level Turkish officials….

4. As counter-intuitive as the claim is, another Muslim President said very much the same thing:
"Obama: Why I won't say 'Islamic terrorism'
"There is no doubt, and I've said repeatedly, where we see terrorist organizations like al Qaeda or ISIL -- They have perverted and distorted and tried to claim the mantle of Islam for an excuse for basically barbarism and death," he said.
"These are people who've killed children, killed Muslims, take sex slaves, there's no religious rationale that would justify in any way any of the things that they do," he said."

5. Oh...and the greatest difference between the two?
Only one of 'em has guaranteed nuclear weapons to the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism.
