During his foreign policy speech Thursday afternoon, President Obama warned that domestic terrorism would increase in the modern age of the Internet.

“[T]his threat is not new,” Obama said. “But technology and the Internet increase its frequency and lethality.”

Obama warned Americans that materials on the Internet could influence people to commit terrorist acts.

“Today, a person can consume hateful propaganda, commit themselves to a violent agenda and learn how to kill without leaving their home,” he said.

To combat domestic terrorism, Obama reminded Americans that it was important to reach out to Muslim communities.

“The best way to prevent violent extremism is to work with the Muslim American community -- which has consistently rejected terrorism -

Obama PROTECTS, DEFENDS, and WEAPONIZES Terrorists,
and then odiously Blames the Internet.

"When the law no longer protects you from the corrupt,
but protects the corrupt from you -
you know your nation is doomed."

Why this is another Kinsley gaffe - Obama implying that the threat of terrorism is primarily Muslim.

Not white supremacist.

Not fundamentalist Christian.

Not anti-government fanatic.

Not eco-fanatic.

Muslims.

Can someone point me to examples of the Muslim American community rejecting terrorism? Seriously. The only time I hear about it is when the president (be it Obama or Bush) or some MSM talking head tells me that they have rejected terrorism. When I see a "representative" of the Muslim community on TV, he or she usually is bitching and moaning about how other Americans are persecuting Muslims, or screaming into a loud speaker about beheading those who insult Islam.

"Obummer warned Americans that materials on the Internet could influence people to commit terrorist acts.

“Today, a person can consume hateful propaganda such as fast and furious, commit themselves to a violent agenda such as Obummer`s domestic drones,and learn how to kill without leaving their home -join the FBI and silence important terrorists,so they can`t talk,-,” he said.

Such as the IRS site, The ATF site, the WH Site, the DHS site, the Obummercare site, the NYSAFEACT SITE,could influence people against Obummer and his communiust minions, including Cuomo, correctomundo.

The internet is a tool that can be used for good or for evil. Islam is fueling the increase in terrorism. He’s an ignorant Nazi knob.

and an American regime that openly promotes, finances, and send the very latest weaponry to Islamicterroristas overseas, and which continues to import them en mass into USA,
and where our esteemed leader is on record extolling the Muslim prayer call as “most beautiful sound on earth”

none of the above tends to encourage or validate the same or similar attitudes or actions by other individuals in society?

I get it. Great! We will all be just FINE now. /s

One would think the widespread availability of Orwell’s writings would shame these people away from such perfidy.

And that's how the Boston bombings will be classified by the government, domestic terrorism.
