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 -

Yeah, like that reaching out with meat cleavers and knives to behead that UK soldier. Our so-called president is a total unequaled ass, reading words written for him by his handlers. None of these words came from this doofus.

My prayers are for the UK soldier who was brutally slaughtered by a member of "the kind and loving Muslim communities." Obama . . . you can go to hell.

Can someone point me to examples of the Muslim American community rejecting terrorism?

Da' ain't none, pal. Our more than stupid president is reading off a teleprompter and it's coming out his ass.

“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.

BS AND balony!

What you learn about terrorism can also be HELPFUL in that people can be aware of tactics used, which can save lives.

What you DO with what you learn is the important thing. Just because you learn it doesn’t mean you have to DO it!

This man is a total forking idiot and somebody really needs to take HIS voice out of print so we don’t have to be exposed to such stupidity.

The rise in terrorism is because of Obama.

Benghazi Hussein Obama always talks on a level his base can understand...

that’s why most of what comes off his teleprompter sounds so idiotic.

Of coarse he is refering to all the terror us White Christian, constitution loving, Bible reading, gun lovers are perpetrateing. It’s because of the hate we spread on sites like this and threatening his administration and his legacy.

You can almost picture him telling America “You will never have peace, I/we will wage war on you for ever. I really think he is going to come unwound.

“Al Gore’s Fault!”

If Algore wants credit for “inventing” the internet — he has to take the blame for the consequences that go along with it — real or imagined!

0bama is correct that the Internet makes it easier for murderous Islamist thugs to plan and commit murderous Islamist thuggery (not that 0bama deserves credit for being correct - it’s an obvious point). But the correct solution is obviously not to control or restrict the Internet, it’s to control, restrict and kill the murderous Islamist thugs.
