What Obama could have said and should have said is Islam is a 21st Century Plague.
If we are to survive this plague, we must recognize Islam for what it really is: It’s not a religion, form of government, or anything recognizable by the civilized mind. Islam is a disease, an incurable disease of the mind that is highly contagious among the feeble minded and is now spreading among the world’s feeble minded at an epidemic rate. As with any disease, one can’t reason with this disease, negotiate with it, or treat in any manner other than how one would treat any other incurable disease. Carriers of this Plague of Islam must be eradicated wherever they’re found, for if they’re not, this disease will eventually end not just Western Civilization, but will undo over 5,000 years of human civilization.
Islam as you describe it appears very similar to today’s progressivism or liberalism. Ironic that Obama and the left fail to see that alignment.
