President Barack Obama used his Sunday night address on terrorism to reassure the American people that the San Bernardino shootings last week appear to be an isolated incident, despite one of the killers pledging allegiance to ISIS.
The president firmly dismissed a change in strategy in the war against the extremists that would require combat troops on the ground in Iraq and Syria.
And while terrorist group is made of 'thugs and killers' and is part of a 'cult of death,' he again refused to call them 'radical Islamic terrorists.
Americans must not take out their grievances with the fanatics on followers of Islam, he said.
'Muslim Americans are our friends and our neighbors are coworkers, our sports heroes. And yes, they are our men and women in uniform who are willing to die in defense of our country,' the president said, speaking from the Oval Office. 'We have to remember that.'
He also called on Congress to pass legislation barring individuals on the no-fly list from purchasing guns.

Yeah, this was really a wake-up call, because apparently these two seemed like “those nice Muslims” we keep hearing about. Then, Sudden Jihad Syndrome hits and the bullets are flying.
There is more hatred spewing out of one US radical Mosque daily than that directed in the same span against Muslims all over the United States.
Which, incidentally, reminds me of the phrase "The Young Turks" which I thought referred to some of the Turks in power at that time:
like Salon, our opponents on the left deliberately choose titles meant to spit in the face of believers.
Then they [censored] themselves over what they consider to be their superior sophistication.
Zero sounded totally bored reading from the prompter until he started talking about muzzie love. Then he got intense. And I got intensely annoyed. When he talks about our “values” he can’t even relate to what he is saying, he hates America so much. Only when he shifts into defending “Is-LAHM” does he show a flicker of life. He’s a very bad liar.
you can stick you islam up your ass there quota boy.
It was directed at US. Make no mistake, eyedigress.
Hecky Durn- the facts of attacks, say the islam is trying to kill US. Let’s kill them, back- with a good full effort.
Abdul Jabbar and Ali...and I think Ali did it to avoid Vietnam, right?
Cassius Clay probably can’t tell you what he had for breakfast this morning but Karim is fair game.
Yes, the Levant includes Israel. ISIL is a code phrase. It will go over the heads of most folks.
Not everything. In this line he speaks the truth:
âISIS, he said, using an alternative reference to the group, ISIL, makes up a ‘tiny fraction’ of the billions of Muslims around the world - millions of whom ‘reject their hateful ideology.â
Of the billions of muslims around the world, mere millions âreject their hateful ideology.â
Yeah, that would be the infernal “Frozen” season.
Hated it.
Hate Frozen.
This season was good.
Hook sacrificed himself to save everyone else.
Just got to watch the end and Emma hopped on Charon’s skiff, headed to the Underworld to look for Hook.
Maybe we’ll be getting some good Greek mythology, this time around.
And Gold is the Dark One again, but with the cumulative evil/power of *all* Dark Ones, before.
Well, if it’s really an anti-Israel moniker, then is SUCKS that our President uses it. I will certainly stop using it as a twitter hashtag when I post something about ISIS.
