Obama condemns 'outrageous murders' of three Muslims
Yahoo News ^ | 2/13/2015 | Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has made his first comments about the three young Muslims who were shot to death near a university campus — saying no one in America should ever be targeted "because of who they are, what they look like or how they worship."

Obama says in a statement that the FBI will determine whether federal laws were violated in what he calls "the brutal and outrageous murders."

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has reproached Obama and other senior officials for not speaking out against the killings of the three young Muslims.

Erdogan, lead of a Muslim nation, said during a news conference in Mexico Thursday that the U.S. administration should take a stance against the killings, saying their silence was "meaningful."

I believe the President is speaking from the heart on this one. It must be hitting pretty close to home. After all, these 3 young men could have been him, 30 years ago...

But it was just random “folks” in a Jewish Deli in Paris..

sigh.

That the person that committed this crime by all accounts is a ardent atheist and leftist of course does not show up in news much....

Obama is having great difficulty staying in the muslim closet.

It is a toss up whether he will be able to continue his “I’m not a muslim” charade for two more years.

He didn't speak out because it was a fellow traveler that killed the Muslims.

Now if it was a Tea Party type - whoa boy! He'd be hanging from the gallows right now.

He could come out today as a Muslim and the media would be orgasmic at his honesty and nobleness.

All this attention to what appears to be a fight over parking between neighbors reminds me how this contrasts with the torture murders of Channon Christian, 21, a college student, and her boyfriend Christopher Newson in 2007 in Knoxville, Tenn.

Some of the things done to these two victims included rape, forced to drink bleach, private parts cut off, and being set on fire. Something one might expect of ISIS. Yet I recall no MSM outrage.
