Obama proclaims: 'We are not at war with Islam'

By Jim Acosta and Kevin Liptak, CNN

Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama, speaking at his summit on countering violent extremism Wednesday, sought to strike a balance between appealing for more acceptance of Muslim-Americans while emphasizing the need to remain vigilant against radicals who could turn violent.

"We are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam," Obama said during his remarks, adding later that Muslim leaders "need to do more to discredit the notion that our nations are determined to suppress Islam."

Obama went to lengths before the summit began to avoid linking extremism to the Muslim faith; his intent, aides say, was to avoid giving credence to the ideologies of Islamic State or al Qaeda terrorists.

The guy’s been chooming too much. Of course Islam which drives its followers to commit all the atrocious acts it does is the enemy of good people.

“We are at war with people who have perverted Islam...”

Which is a large majority percentage of their Imams. To pretend that Radical Islam is just a few thousand terrorists is deadly foolishness. There are tens of millions of Muslims that support the violent imposition of Sharia on Western Civilization.

He’ll believe that no matter how many lives it costs because it would involve admitting he’s wrong. Most on the left would never do that.

What’s the friggin difference ObozoMuzzie? Islam has been conquering Christianity for centuries and isn’t ant to stop. It doesn’t matter what the group or country is, it IS about Islam. Look at every mosque built in the areas of the former Ottoman Empire. Most, if not all, are built OVER a former or conquered Christian or Jewish place of worship. Now they are trying to expand their crazed religion beyond those areas.

Just wait for Obama or his spokeshole Josh Earnest at their next press conference, then you will hear the weasel-words flowing -

“extremists” (not Islamic terrorists)

“just an isolated incident”

“we condemn these horrible attacks, but they cannot be blamed on Islam”

blah, blah, blah

Like the word “community”, if you don’t know who the “we” refers to, you’re not part of it.

When they are not killing innocent civilians, they fight one another. Country against country, tribe against tribe, Islamic faction against Islamic faction.

This has been going on for thousands of years. It's about time we put a choke collar on these rabid dogs...and yank it, real hard.

We only have to endure this dumb@$$ up in the white hut for a lil while longer. They we will have real men, real leaders take the reigns. The next several years gonna be pretty ugly. Gotta get all this mess straightened out.

Wow...what a monumental fail Obozo and his administration has turned out to be. From Iranian agent Jarrett to feckless fido Kerry's ridiculous negotiations, from mafia momma Hillary to Sid and Huma. It's all been a damn disaster for America and the world.
