In yet another brazen speech, President Obama lavishly praised Islam and condemned those who criticize Islam, saying their rhetoric is "inexcusable" and "has no place" in the US. You can read the entire transcript here, but there were a few highlights:
"And since 9/11, but more recently, since the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, you've seen too often people conflating the horrific acts of terrorism with the beliefs of an entire faith. And of course, recently, we've heard inexcusable political rhetoric against Muslim Americans that has no place in our country."
So let's start with this fact: For more than a thousand years, people have been drawn to Islam's message of peace. And the very word itself, Islam, comes from salam, peace. The standard greeting is as-salamu alaykum, peace be upon you. And like so many faiths, Islam is rooted in a commitment to compassion and mercy and justice and charity. Whoever wants to enter paradise, the Prophet Muhammad taught, "let him treat people the way he would love to be treated." (Applause.) For Christians like myself, I'm assuming that sounds familiar. (Laughter.)
But right now, there is a organized extremist element that draws selectively from Islamic texts, twists them in an attempt to justify their killing and their terror. They combine it with false claims that America and the West are at war with Islam.
And so if we're serious about freedom of religion, and I'm speaking now to my fellow Christians who remain the majority in this country, we have to understand an attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths... (Applause.)

Stats tell us that women are arming themsevles with weapons and training in record numbers. I mention this becuase Islam views women as just another piece of property, a thing to be bought and sold...or abused at the whim of the owner. Perhaps many wont be the soft target that islamists assume theyll be.
“..... their rhetoric is “inexcusable” and “has no place” in the US”. .........
Of course odumbo was speaking about Muslims when he made that statement.
Actually, he’s not a very good liar. Quite pathetic actually.
He's correct........Islam is a 'Clash WITH civilization'!!!!.................
I Slam Islam.......................
His purple lips were moving again.
I wish just once, that someone would point out that Arabs are also a Semitic people, Hebrew and Arabic are the same language family. That when the Dems get anti-Semitic “moments” they are also bashing Arabs.
that might cause a minor ruckus.
Yep, and I heard both of those many, many times when I was in Iraq. It must've been a very peaceful place, right?
Hey Obunzo - Tell that to the Germans who are having to fend off people who do not know how to use a toilet.
What an IDIOT. Islam - oppression fear and death. America - freedom liberty and life. Sorry dumbass but those two things are not the same.
Clown Prince nobama has less than 360 days left in office. Who cares what this Free-America-hating degenerate malignancy has to say about anything? Stay armed...stay vigilant.
True, that: since only one side is civilized, there is no clash of civilizations.
