Obama held a “anti-terrorism summit” this week, and words and phrases like “Islam”, “Muslim”, and “Islamic extremism” were off-limits. Obama and his team have done all they can to refuse to acknowledge that most terroristic acts in the name of religion are being performed in the name of Allah and Mohammed
Obama Alone In Ignoring Roots Of Islamist Terror
Monday’s White House statement on ISIS’ beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians in Libya, which failed to mention the victims’ faith as the reason for their murder, was practically unique among world leaders’ reactions for its omission.
By contrast, Pope Francis on Sunday exclaimed that “they were killed simply for the fact that they were Christians,†and that “their blood confesses Christ.â€
Even the official Twitter account of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a series of messages with the hashtag #ChristianLivesMatter.
Huh, how about that? Even Khamenei.
Islam says we should behave out of fairness& justice towards the followers of other religions. #ChristianLivesMatter #Libya#Letter4U

Well, in all fairness, Christians aren’t treated exactly great in Iran, either. Though, they haven’t mass killed them, and he notes that many were martyred for Iran in the war against Iraq. And Khamenei attempts some equivocation in further tweets, even noting the Chapel Hill murders (and getting it as wrong as Obama did). But, at least he notes who was killed and why. His tweets show he is not a big fan of ISIS, nor that ultra-extremist version of Islam. He prefers the regular radical version practiced in Iran.
Leaders all over the world have acknowledged the threat from radical Islam, particularly ISIS, as those who perform these barbaric acts in the name of Islam. Except for Team Obama and Obama himself. One really has to wonder about the motivations that cause Team O to avoid linking Islamic extremism with Islam.
Cue the deflections, distractions, and strawmen from Islamist apologists.
So Teach how is that whole let’s invade occupy and destabilize Iraq thing working out ?
I seem to remember you being a big fan of it
Team Obama, still playing T-Ball, refuses to link Islamic Extremism with Islam,because to do so would require them to act. This would dramatically cut down on Obama’s golfing and more than likely curtail him playing with his new toy – the selfie stick.
As for John’s question…..Obama himself stated in 2011 that Iraq “is sovereign, stable, and self-reliant.”
Jihadist militants from Islamic State (IS) have burned to death 45 people in the western Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi, the local police chief says.
Just listened to Obama’s latest speech and all I got was that the Muslims are great and loving and that they don’t mean anyone harm. I guess over 1000 years of constant war with them doesn’t mean a thing or that they are associated with the great majority of killing of innocents over the last 100 years. Watch, Jeff will post his list of depredations by others, which are mostly leftist or his Nazi buddies.
