WASHINGTON — President Obama on Thursday called on nations around the world to expand human rights, religious tolerance and peaceful dialogue as they struggle to combat a spate of terrorism that has recently struck places as far afield as Australia, Canada and Europe.

In an address to world leaders on the final day of his summit on violent extremism, Mr. Obama said that poverty and political grievances fuel alienation that can lead to bursts of killing like those seen in Paris, Copenhagen, Sydney and Ottawa. In addition to building up security forces, he said nations must “put an end to the cycle of hate” through opportunity and freedom.

What is “Extremism”?

[expat2]

Not a good analogy. Chamberlain at least had Britain’s interests at heart, even tho he was misguided. O has Islam’s interest at heart, not the US’s.

“When people are oppressed and human rights are denied, particularly along sectarian lines or ethnic lines, when dissent is silenced, it feeds violent extremism”

So how, exactly, were the terrorists who flew into the World Trade oppressed? How, exactly, was the wealthy Osama bin Laden oppressed?

Maybe if the invasions of the US, Europe, Canada and Australia are reversed, the civilized world wouldn't have to deal with residents who want to destroy what western civilization used to be all about.

Example....can anyone give even one reason why any Chechnyan refugees are still in the US? It would've sent a powerful message if they were all expelled for good.

It hasn't helped with Zero -- he's still trying to destroy us. Not saying he works, exactly, but it's the same thing he has in mind for the jihadists.

UN secretary general wannabe.

[make no mistake]

HaHaHa... good question.

[rhubarbk]

Sorry, Obama is an f'n idiot.

Don't be sorry Jim, it's not your fault!

[veracious]

Expanding human rights? Equal to becoming piecefulized. You must submit to your masters: you must have pieces in your nation; your state; your county; your city; neighborhood.

[Dahoser]

If expanding human rights is the answer, why do these 7th century scum bother us who already have those expanded rights?

[miserare]

Exactly. While the rest of the world has evolved over the past 1,000 years, the Muslim bottom dwellers have continued raping, murdering, beheading, crucifying and burning people they don’t like.

The Muslim Murderhood will never change.

Obama is a mindless tool.

[miserare]

Bump!

That says it all.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

“Extremism”

Yesterday I ate 3 jelly donuts. That was pretty extreme of me. I guess I’m an extremist.

[VerySadAmerican]

We should be tolerant of the muslims’ religious practice of burning people alive.

[VerySadAmerican]

If the house could find enough to impeach Obama, and they’ll never be able to, there wouldn’t be more than a few senators who would vote to remove him.
