The most outrageous thing about President Barack Obama’s “extremism” summit Wednesday was not that it failed to identify Islamic terror as the primary threat. Nor was it that there were several Muslim representatives with extremist views present. Nor was it that the president still refuses to acknowledge ISIS (or ISIL) as “Islamic”—even while referring to it by an acronym whose first letter stands for “Islamic” (rather than the transliterated Arabic acronym, “Daesh”). Rather, the most offensive thing about Obama’s “extremism” summit was that the “dog and pony show” (as it was called by no less a liberal than MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell) was meant to be a substantive response to the horrific terror attacks last month in Paris at the offices of the Charlie Hebdo newspaper and at a kosher supermarket before the Jewish Sabbath. Instead it was just more of the same limp prevarication from Obama, as if the surge of terror had never happened.

He doesn't want the Nation united on anything.
He won’t out his religious roots.
The most offensive aspect is that he is spending limited American taxpayer resources in his conspiracy to destroy the U.S. and Israel and we are letting him do it.
I find it interesting that the President says that ISIS is not Islamic in the same way that Shiites say Sunnis are not really Islamic and the Sunnis say that Shiites are not really Islamic. The same sort of “If it’s not my brand then it isn’t actually xyz” happens in Christianity, but at least we no longer kill each other over those differences.
So we have a president who always supports towelheads who hate us and always makes excuses for them.
I think he might be on the verge of admitting that he is a Muslim.Not even Gregory Hines can tap dance this long.

The White House did not invite the most senior American official charged with preventing terrorist attacks — the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey — to the three-day conference this week on countering violent extremism in the United States and abroad because the administration did not want the event too focused on law enforcement issues, according to senior American officials.
But Mr. Comey’s Russian counterpart — Aleksandr V. Bortnikov, the director of the Russian Federal Security Service, the post-Soviet K.G.B. — was at the meeting, even though international human rights groups have repeatedly accused the Russian security service of unjustly detaining and spying on Russians and others.
