US President Barrack Obama has a simple answer to the question of how to fight ISIS as the latter continues to sow terror to the world.
During a nine-day East Asia Summit in Kuala Lumpur, the US president said that the "most powerful tool" to defeat the infamous group is to not become overcome by fear as the group attacks communities and governments. Recently, IS claimed responsibility for the attacks in Paris, which left scores of people dead and many others injured.

"We do not succumb to fear," Obama said during a news conference in Kuala Lumpur, according to ABC News. "The most powerful tool we have to fight ISIL is to say that we're not afraid. To not elevate them and to somehow buy into their fantasy that they're doing something important."
The president also assured the public that the United States will continue to be an effective leader in the mission to defeat ISIS. He believes that the said mission is "going to get done."
"Destroying ISIL is not only a realistic goal," Obama said, using a another acronym for the terror group. "We're going to get it done and we're going to pursue it. It's going to get done."
Paris will also be hosting a major climate conference this month. Despite the recent situation in the French capital, President Obama is upbeat about the conference.
"I think it is absolutely vital for every country, every leader to send a signal that the viciousness of a handful of killers does not stop the world from doing vital business," he said.
The president also urged the media not to dwell on the recent ISIS threats to attack the U.S. homeland.
"They're a bunch of killers with good social media," Obama said. "Our way of life is stronger. We have more to offer. We represent 99.9 percent of humanity and that's why we should be confident that we will win."
