Obama: Why I won't say 'Islamic terrorism'
CNN Politics ^ | September 28, 2016 | Daniella Diaz

President Barack Obama has taken a lot of criticism from political opponents over his rhetoric when it comes to terrorism. But on Wednesday at a CNN presidential town hall, he was asked to defend why he refuses to say "Islamic" terrorism to a Gold Star mother.

"My son gave his life for acts of terrorism," audience member Tina Houchins told Obama at the town hall moderated by CNN's Jake Tapper. "Do you still believe that the acts of terrorism are done for the self-proclaimed Islamic religious motive? And if you do, why do you still refuse to use the term ... Islamic terrorist?"

Obama called it a "sort of manufactured" issue.

"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....

Obama doesn’t say Islamic terrorism because he is on their side, not ours. It is as simple as that.

FUBO and your Bush/Clinton clan friends too.

Is is not clear that the Executive Branch is run through and through by Muslim Brotherhood? Obama’s kitchen cabinet are Muslim Brotherhood men who regular come to the White House. Huma Abedin, of the Jihad-Sharia motivated Muslim Brotherhood, has been in the driver’s seat with the Clintons for 20 years, including when Hillary was the appointed Secretary of State of the United States of America.

Top level law enforcement and judiciary appointees are playing dead in the face of illegalities and they refuse to pursue even the most shocking, proven treasonous activities.

The most pathetic thing about Obama is that he doesn’t even make a serious effort anymore. He checked out of the job in June of 2015.

> “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....

Seems very unpresidential for the US President to go around presenting himself as an expert on moslem theology and arguing for the protection of America’s enemies. Almost like he thinks he’s the imam in chief or something.

Barbarism and death are how the curse of mohammedanism spread itself for 1400 years and locked down the countries it overran, so why would anyone lie about such an obvious feature? Other moslem countries still have all sorts of barbaric practices.

All Muslims believe in Jihad. It is organic to Islam. The Muslim extremists are those who do not believe in Jihad. These extremists must remain silent or they will be considered apostates.

Injecting Christianity as an excuse for this barbaric Islamic belief system tells you all you need to know about this Muslim practicing taqiyya on the American people.

oh yes! he’s the Charles in Charge of ISIS

wanna’ read something odd?

ISIS is now declaring Wahhabism infinitely worse than Israel!

Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary general of a group that has been fighting Israel for decades, declared on Tuesday that “Wahhabism is more evil than Israel,” Lebanon’s Al Akhbar newspaper reported.

Wahhabism is the ultra-fundamentalist strain of Sunni Islam that Saudi Arabia’s government promotes and that strongly influences the ideology of Sunni jihadist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Lookst to me like they are going after Saudi Oil/

But here’s a even BIGGER KICKER!
