Obama: Religious Acceptance Key to Combating Extremism
NBC News ^ | February 19, 2015 | by Andrew Rafferty

Posted on 02/19/2015 10:01:45 AM PST by Jim Robinson

President Barack Obama told world leaders on Thursday that promoting democracy and acceptance of people of all faiths are essential to stopping the spread of violent extremism.

"Groups like al Qaeda and [ISIS] peddle the lie that some of our countries are hostile to Muslims. Meanwhile we've also seen, most recently in Europe, arise inexcusable acts of anti-Semitism, or in some cases anti-Muslim sentiment, or anti-immigrant sentiment," Obama said at the closing session of a White House summit on combating extremism. "When people spew hatred towards others because of their faith or because of their faith or because they are immigrants, it feeds into terrorist narratives."

The president's remarks come as anti-Muslim sentiment is on the rise in Europe following terror attacks in Paris and Copenhagen.

"The notion that the West is at war with Islam is an ugly lie," Obama said.

A little “tolerance” here, and “acceptance” there, and pretty soon we’re an Islamic state with shariah law replacing the Constitution.

Obama’s pushing it, hard. It’s seems to be his prime directive and he’s running out of time.

So the traitors in America can reward extremist torture and killings, and reward it with “acceptance”, money, and fear, but I will never accept extremism.

These Islamic jihadists behead their own people, so you know where we Stand if they get the foothold Obama is trying to get.

Coexist photo: Coexist? 31JbddJL87L_SS500_.jpg According to the executive branch of the federal government--which seems to be at war with the US as well--the first letter in `Coexist' is ultimate and the remaining letters must follow it. Mosques in America, that's a good thing--but churches, chapels and synagogues in Arabia, that's a bad thing. Sharia law in the west, a good thing, Judeo-Christian law in the west, not good. Walls and fences in Arabia and the White House--those are good things. But in America, a bad thing. The Saracen is still selling, but now most of us aren't buying.

“Islam is a religion of peace.” Barack Obama

He thinks he’s talking to his fellow Democrats or Islamacists.

There is a simple symmetry:

No Jihad = No Islam

No Islam = No Jihad

That’s certainly part of it and certainly true. I watched a portion of his speech and saw a truth new...to me at least.

For years, the “West”, or Western Civilization has been set up for sell out through the curricula of “Diversity” and “Multi-Culturalism”. At the root of this movement is the idea that no “culture” is better than any other.

The unspoken corollary to the root idea of the Multi-Cultural movement is that if one culture should prove to have become dominant in terms of wealth, power and influence, that culture must of needs be...”reduced” to parity with the other cultures.

Obama and the Elites that have embraced the agenda of Multi-Culturalism, (and by Elites, I mean “Elites” in both political parties) have determined to “reduce” not just the US, (end exceptionalism), but Western Civilization as a whole. Of course, this agenda was long ago embraced by the UK and Europe, hence “Londonistan” and the Muslim enclaves through out Europe.

Thus, now, in conjunction with the “Amnesty” for illegal aliens, this Regime is now charging forward with plans to increase immigration from Muslim countries by expanding the refugee status program to Syrians.

I think we all see the handwriting on the wall. What with the continuous assault by the “Amish” on civil society and their elevation to the equivalent of the “Palestinians of the US” and their continuous “Intifada” since the “Ferguson” event and the intentional importation of enemy forces into the US, the US is proceeding down the same path the Romans followed when they attempted to save the “Empire” by alliance with some Germanic tribes, granting them Roman Citizenship in exchange for military alliance.

The thing curious to me is that its an established fact that the prime directive of any “Government” is to perpetuate its existence. The US Government seems to be entirely violating that directive. I don’t see any contingency plan for Governmental continuity for that time when the Islamic forces launch their attacks within the US and bring the US Government to its knees. Perhaps they don’t care and expect to flee with their ill gotten gains to...where? China?

The Obama speech is, in many ways, a seminal moment in US history. It marks the beginning of the end of US Governmental relevance to a large percentage of the US population by way of its surrender of national sovereignty.

A nation without borders is a Homeland to none, and a Government without a nation is irrelevant.

Questioning the values and virtues of religious systems isn’t “spewing hate.” It is common sense. Islam is an all encompassing system of control that isn’t compatible with any religion. It isn’t even compatible with itself most of the time.

Like everything else, religion comes in degrees of good and bad, and Islam is as bad as religion gets.

Our President is making robust use of al-taqiyya,which is the accepted Islam practice of deceit to conceal or disguise one’s beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies.

He is helping radical Muslims while saying he is not; he is bringing them here as refugees when they are really jihadi warriors; he has armed them while claiming to be for democracy in the Middle East; he has placed them in powerful and sensitive positions of power in his government; he has returned to them control of territory that we conquered; he has refused to effectively curb their advance on established nations and allies, and he IS one while claiming he is not. Islam has proven itself many times to be our enemy. Obama is giving aid and comfort to our enemy. . . and THAT is treason. And THAT makes Obama our enemy.
