Obama aims to show Islam, Western communities can coexist

WASHINGTON (AP) — In the fight against violent extremism, President Barack Obama argues the U.S. has one thing going for it that Europe doesn't: a long tradition of warmly embracing its immigrants, including Muslims.

With the Islamic State group spreading and terrorists gaining strength in the Mideast and Africa, Obama has sought to use this week's White House summit on violent extremism to urge the world to broaden its response far beyond military interventions. U.S. airstrikes have managed to blunt some of the militants' gains in Iraq and Syria, but they don't address the extreme ideologies that underpin deadly groups such as IS, al-Shabab and Boko Haram.

During the summit's closing session Thursday at the State Department, Obama urged delegates from 65 countries to "confront the warped ideology" espoused by terror groups, particularly efforts to use Islam to justify violence.

The “Coexist” meme was played out fourteen years ago.

Please tell the Christians on their “high horse(s)” about the Crusades again, Mr. POTUS?

Street Artist Combo Brutally Attacked for Pacifist Tag Post Charlie Hebdo

It seems like something one would be hard pressed to disagree with: the word “coexist,” written on a wall using a Muslim crescent as the letter “C,” a Star of David as the letter “X,” and a Christian cross as a “T.”

But in Paris, this particular iteration of the popular inscription—here, created by the street artist Combo, who also pasted a life-size photo of himself next to it—didn’t go down well with everybody. Le Monde reports that four young people asked the artist to remove it last weekend, and beat him up severely when he refused to do so.

"The Palestinians STILL insists that Israel be DESTROYED!!!"

That's what the "enlightened folk" refer to as a "grievance".

Of Muslim and non-Muslim communities can coexist. It’s called jizya

Jizya is the money, or tribute, “that conquered non-Muslims historically had to pay to their Islamic overlords ‘with willing submission and while feeling themselves subdued’ to safeguard their existence,

Islam and western communities can, indeed, coexist once those western communities are all Moslem.

Assimilation. Immigrants that helped build this country were assimilated. Due to the PC police now we are expected to assimilate to their ways. No way to avoid an all out war once they think they have the numbers and the power to force us to their ways.

They own the Presidency straight up.

The battle will begin in.........5..............4............3...........

Mr. President is well aware of the facts. Things are going swimmingly in the point of view of a Moslem especially the Sultan of Washington.

Obama is living in a World unknown to sanity.

Obama is a moslem and the whole of Islam is insane.

I figure Obama will soon give billions of our money to finance terrorists, under the guise of “shovel ready jobs”

New “ Jobs for Terrorists” program.

The Shia Sunni divide is immaterial so long as Islam is fighting a bigger enemy. Iran supports Sunni Moslems everywhere that Sunnis are fighting against secular rulers or infidels and bombs Sunnis when they are too close to Iranian borders. Sunni Obama replaces the American supporting Yemeni rulers with Islamist Shias. Punishing the Shias for not being Sunni can come later and is not at the moment importand because Sunnis outnumber Shias overwhelmingly.

All Moslems are delusional. It is basic to the religion.

Long, very long past time to send Muslims back to Krapistan. Including the one in our white house. (Or else kiss your ass goodbye. America is doomed to be a slave state under islamoNazi rule just like their koran says)

“I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future [for our children].”
