Obama condemns those who seek to 'hijack religion'

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama condemned those who seek to use religion as a rationale for carrying out violence around the world, declaring Thursday that "no god condones terror." "We are summoned to push back against those who would distort our religion for their nihilistic ends," Obama said during remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast. He singled out the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, calling the militants a "death cult," as well as those responsible for last month's terror attacks in Paris and deadly assault on a school in Pakistan. Among those attending the annual gathering of politicians, dignitaries and faith leaders was the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. As with the Dalai Lama's past visits to Washington, his attendance at Thursday's breakfast drew criticism from Beijing, which sees him as an anti-Chinese separatist because of his quest for greater Tibetan autonomy.

Ah, you beat me to it. “Our religion,” eh? Just as, earlier, he famously called it “my Muslim religion.”

Interviewer: “You mean my Christian religion.”

Obama: “Oh, er, yeah.”

Suddenly the left is concerned about those who would distort religion.

They who've never pass ups chance to distort & defame Christians rush to defend Islamic homicidal maniacs.

Yes Obama....Slavery is by far the #1 worst most inhumane atrocity EVER committed by mankind—especially by those White European Christians eh?

All in the name of Christ....never mind the fact that the practice had been in place for over 3,000 years before Christ was even born and practiced by ever society until White Europeans began to outlaw it.

Dalai Lama in the room. 12th son of the Lama.

Big hitter, the Lama. Gunga. Gunga lunga.

O looking for golf tips from the Lama, no chance of him finding total consciousness.

Yep. Christians getting slaughtered by the psychos in the middle east and he don’t say squat about it. One Muslim gets killed now he calls them a “death cult”.

Well, kinda. Freudian slip without his teleprompter, just like the one that Steffie covered for back in ‘08.

In his own words!

“Let’s not play games,” he said. “What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you’re absolutely right that that has not come.”

I guess Obama can always claim he misremembered his own faith.

If he came out on national TV and announced that he is a Muslim, the left would still deny it.

I have a different take even though Obummers alignment with Islam is a great point.

I am wondering if he could expound on where it is that these “radicals” are deviating from the teachings of their religion. If he so eloquently wants to say they have hijacked it, tell us where it is they are wrong according to the teaching of Islam?

Slavery also existed among the American Indians long before Columbus came to this hemisphere. The fact is that the European bought the Black slaves in the African ports that were captured and sold by Muslims slave traders. Between the 8th and 19th century, 10 to 18 million slaves were captured and sold by Arab slave traders. Were Christians the ones who first fought against that depraved institution.

It is despicable Obama’s silence while the United Nations denounced the savagery of the followers of Islam.

GENEVA (REUTERS) - Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants are selling abducted Iraqi children at markets as sex slaves, and killing other youths, including by crucifixion or burying them alive, a United Nations watchdog said on Wednesday. Iraqi boys aged under 18 are increasingly being used by the militant group as suicide bombers, bomb makers, informants or human shields to protect facilities against US-led air strikes, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child said.

He doesn’t condemn those who seek to outlaw Christianity in this country. In fact, he’s leading the charge.

More propaganda. He plays to the rubes's know-nothing assumption that all religions are peaceful.

Obviously, Islam is NOT peaceful regardless of his lies and the lies of George Bush. Islam is about as peaceful as the pagan worship of the Norse gods of war.

The only distortion of Obama’s Islam that is going on is from political correctness about moderate Muslims. Terrorists represent pure Islam, what all Muslims stand for, including Obama.
