Obama Administration Refuses to Label London Attack as Terrorism

In stark contrast, the Obama Administration’s response has been to avoid calling the attack terrorism, let alone terrorism motivated by a radical Islamic ideology. Instead the Administration, via the State Department, said it stood with the U.K. in the face of “such senseless violence.”

Senseless violence? One can hardly term a targeted attack on a U.K. soldier in broad daylight — where the assailants gleefully admit the radical motivation behind their attack — “senseless violence.”

Yet, use of this terminology is nothing new for the Obama Administration. “Senseless violence” is the Administration’s catch-all phrase loyally called upon whenever motivations for a despicable act should not be ascribed, lest someone take offense.

Particularly troubling is that “senseless violence” is the same terminology the Administration used when describing the terrorist attack in Benghazi that killed the American Ambassador and three other U.S. citizens.

Another great moment brought to us by the wonder peace-loving religion of Islam. Sponsored in part by the rich tapestry of diversity...coming soon to a sidewalk near you!

It’s funny that every time an Islamic nut job blows something up, or cuts someone up, apologists deploy immediately to tell us how this isn’t the REAL Islam.

David Cameron: ...It [the beheading] was also a betrayal of Islam—and of the Muslim communities who give so much to our country. There is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act. We will defeat violent extremism by standing together.

There certainly is justification for this heinous act in Islam. Whether it is koranic injunction Slay the infidels wherever you find them or make war upon them even if they be people of the book; i.e., Christians and Jews.

Also, John Laffin's 1979 book, The Dagger of Islam, warned that Britain would befall the fate it suffers today because of the number of Muslims there and the number of Mosques.

I can understand those Muslim terrorists, saying Allahu Akhbar, committing their acts of terror. I think I can understand Obama in not forcefully condemning it, but I can't quite understand David Cameron in his cover up of Islam as regards this horrific terrorist incident.

Appeasement and Stockholm Syndrome behavior will not work against jihadist terrorism.

"And thou shalt call him Ishmael and he will be a wildman. His hand against everyman and everyman's hand against him."

"Rights are not involved in those primative societies.They make a deal with us. They want to bring us in to develop their oil and then they try to exploit and literally murder us by means of that oil. That is an unforgivable crime."

I think I see what Ubama is thinking.. To me, too, those London “terrorists” looked more like Philadelphia or Chicago prison “muslims” than they did your typical middle eastern muslims.

"...apologists deploy immediately to tell us how this isn’t the REAL Islam"....whilst simultaneously pouring copious quantities of gasolene on their sorry bums to put out the fire they've just had pointed out to them.

Read somewhere earlier the Mayor of London has come out and said it's wrong to think this has anything to do with Islam or words to that effect.

Woe to those who call good evil and evil good.It's like living in lolly-land,just not funny.
