President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he refuses to describe the Islamic State and al Qaeda as groups fueled by "radical Islam" because the term grants them a religious legitimacy they don't deserve.
"They are not religious leaders; they are terrorists," Obama said during remarks at a White House event on countering violent extremism. "We are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam."
Gee, it used to be that Conservatives got all faux hot and bothered when they claimed the president wouldn't label these guys as terrorists. He does so, and now Conservatives get all faux hot and bothered because he won't label them as "radical Islamics."
Basically, Conservatives are just perpetually faux hot and bothered.
Or seeking for once to get a truthful statement out of the liar-in-chief.
Yes, because labeling them as terrorists means he thinks they're our friends.
And then you go on to say something about ignorance, but by the time you got there it was obvious you didn't know the meaning of the word.
More of you made up crap. Where did the poster you quote say "terrorist"? As usual you attempt to lie to make something sound like fact. As usual, you fail.
Obama avoids using that term because it is exactly what they want to hear. He does not validate their perverse take on religion and is careful not to put people in broad buckets. Conversely when Bush/Cheney went into Iraq, they didn;t even know the difference between sunnis and shiites. They had no clue who the players were.
When idiots condemn Islam broadly, it can inflame moderate Muslims as well. It's a battle for hearts and minds. Making it Islam vs Christianity is the wet-dream for radicals. I'll take careful, measured leadership every time. Can you imagine Trump or Carson as president now? They would wage full on war. And afterwards, the middle-east would be so environmentally degraded that those refugees would be knocking on the doors of western nations tenfold, guaranteeing a permanent schism between the religions. And setting the middle east back further along with the affects of climate change.
I'm hearing way too much Hatfield and McCoy stuff from conservatives especially. It's like they've learned nothing in 15 years since 911!
What are you guys talking about? He says "The American People" almost every time he speaks.
Does he mean legal residents or the illegals he wants to let in or the "refugees" he insists we must take in on his word only? Give you one guess who it really is.
Seriously. What does he fear? Why can't he admit that it's radical islam that we're at war with? It's not radical Christians, Jews, Buddhists or Wickens. It's islam!
The first step to solving a problem is admitting there is one.
Because he has been taught and believes in the Koran. It is not radical according to the Koran, for what is taking place. It is normal. The Koran instructs the religious nation of Islam, to do it. There is no tolerance, no forgiving. Only elimination.
You can only wonder so long, why a Holy War has been on going, since before Moses walked the earth.
You cannot be free, with Islam looking over you.
Go to an Arab middle eastern nation and when prayer time calls, don't drop to your knees facing Mecca.... See what happens.
Yes, and the many, many, many bomb strikes the U.S. has led against ISIS is proof that Obama is a Muslim and won't "turn on his people," too, right?
It's like there is no connecting tissue in Conservative minds between their firmly held "beliefs" and reality.
You mean the many bombing that were targeted against nothing, or the ones that were aborted because they might actually hit a viable target and harm his people?
You do know about the aircraft returning without expending their bombs because they might do damage, right? You seem to claim to know everything else.
