"Islam is a religion of peace."

This is not a "Democrat" or "Republican" cause, it's a Statist cause.

Where rhetoricians get tripped up is with the conundrum “Not all muslims are terrorists but (virtually) all terrorists are muslim”. Because the phrase flows better without the “virtually” many people omit it. Antagonistic leftist hair-splitters like Øbozo then seize in the technical inaccuracy to declare the whole sentiment invalid.

The simple truth is that the vast majority of islam is sympathetic to islamic terrorism, which they see as a righteous defense of their “religion”.

Is there anyone left that doesn’t truly know that soetoro’s loyalty lies not with the US but in dar al-islam?

Obama is inciting a worldwide religious war, the anti-Christian remarks are extremely inflammatory. There really isn’t any other explanation, he has no problem using historical references to the violence committed by Christians, yet refusing to acknowledge the violence of Islam.

Strict interpretation of the Koran, Islam’s ‘bible’, is the cause of today’s terrorism. ISIS is just following the medieval ravings of the long-dead major ‘prophet’ of the religion he founded - Islam.

Here's an interesting article in Foreign Affairs which examines the use of the gesture by ISIS...

ISIS Sends a Message--What Gestures Say About Today’s Middle East

Obama knew exactly what he was saying when he made the gesture.

From the article...

When ISIS militants display the sign, to one another or to a photographer, they are actively reaffirming their dedication to that ideology, whose underlying principle demands the destruction of the West. If rank-and-file soldiers are aware of the precise theological implications of their sign -- and it would be no surprise if they are -- that would be a sobering comment on their deep-seated opposition to pluralism.

The gesture is equally important for what it means to Westerners, most of whom cannot read Arabic. By raising their index fingers, militants send an easy-to-understand message of the group’s goals of theological supremacy and military hegemony. When potential ISIS recruits in London, New York, or Sydney see the symbol on Twitter, they can grasp the scale of ISIS’ ambitions and its underlying aims. At some visceral level, less-radicalized viewers understand that it means dominance.

Sorry Jim, I was mistakenly thinking your post was to another thread of mine (about Obama using the ISIS gesture last August).

This one...Obama and the Muslim Gang Sign (a very important repeated article)
