Red Eye's Greg Gutfeld: White House declining to release photos demonstrates Islamophobia (Video)
The Daily Caller ^ | May 5, 2011 | Jeff Poor

Is the Obama White House being hypocritical by declining to release photographic evidence of Osama bin Laden’s killing, citing concerns about the Muslim world’s reaction?

On his Thursday morning broadcast on the Fox News Channel, “Red Eye” host Greg Gutfeld questioned President Barack Obama’s reasoning during his “Gregalogue” segment – saying that same logic could be applied to doing almost anything.

“I get it,” he said. “The decision was based on placating extremists instead of conspiracy freaks. I get it. Terrorists are scarier than truthers, but it is wrong. The argument that the photo would piss off people who might then try to kill Americans bugs me. I mean, you could use the same argument for stopping all human activity, including killing bin Laden. I’m sure that pissed off extremists, as does our friendship with Israel, our love for dogs and music by the Black Eyed Peas.”

Islamophobia?I don’t think so.Cowardice is more like it.Afterall we can’t offend the sensibilities of a group of people who would gladly saw your head off in a New York minute.

Obama is an embarrassment to have as the (p)resident of this country.

Everything he does proves how far over his head he really is.

What a lame escuse!!

Shooting half of Bin Laden head off is okay with the muslims - but showing a picture will REALLY make them mad?

These terrorists need some 'in your face' action from America.

Bin Laden got his due & the rest of you scum are next on our list!!

They are cowards who hide behind women & children, including wearing burkas to hide in. They need a real case of tough action to show them that we mean business.

They need to understand what we mean by war. Not stupid rules of engagement & making decisions to make them feel good by not hurting their feelings.

Too bad we have a sympathizer in the White House. He needs to hear from all of us - LOUD & CLEAR. No more coddling the cowards who have vowed to kill us.

This would be GREAT to turn around on them!

Yep, it is actually those who exhibit the greatest fear of offending them that are exhibiting true “Islamophobia”.

Those who treat them and their religion and sensibilities as the left treats Christianity are the ones that are displaying the OPPOSITE of “Islamophobia”.

One reason I want the photo released is that it would show would-be terrorists what their future looks like. If the U.S. can reach the biggest of the big terrorists, even protected by the country where he’s ensconced, then we can get anybody. And will.

Of course Obama couldn't let the whole thing go without at least one insult to the American people.

Does he really think seeing the pictures is about 'spiking the football'? What a tin eared ass.

Can Obama be the Muslim he is and be Islamaphobic?
