Obama: Don't grant terrorists legitimacy by labeling them Islamic
CBS ^ | 02/18/2015 | Jake Miller/CBS

President Obama offered an extended defense of his approach to countering violent extremism on Wednesday, saying those who have criticized his administration's reluctance to single out the threat specifically posed by Muslim extremists are in danger of offering extremists the kind of legitimacy they crave.

"Al Qaeda, ISIL, and groups like it, are desperate for legitimacy," he said. "We must never accept the premise that they put forward, because it is a lie. Nor should we grand these terrorists the religious legitimacy that they seek. They are not religious leaders, they are terrorists.

"We are not at war with Islam," he added. "We are at war with people who have perverted Islam."

Geez!

This fool is a freaking broken record.

"We are not at war with Islam. The Islamic States Terrorists are not Islamic."

"We are not at war with Islam. The Islamic States Terrorists are not Islamic."

"We are not at war with Islam. The Islamic States Terrorists are not Islamic."

"We are not at war with Islam. The Islamic States Terrorists are not Islamic."

"We are not at war with Islam. The Islamic States Terrorists are not Islamic."

"We are not at war with Islam. The Islamic States Terrorists are not Islamic."

"We are not at war with Islam. The Islamic States Terrorists are not Islamic."

"We are not at war with Islam. The Islamic States Terrorists are not Islamic."

"We are not at war with Islam. The Islamic States Terrorists are not Islamic."

"We are not at war with Islam. The Islamic States Terrorists are not Islamic."

"We are not at war with Islam. The Islamic States Terrorists are not Islamic."

No matter how many times he pouts, stamps his foot and makes this BS claim - NOBODY BELIEVES IT.

I suppose I shouldn’t label him an Anti-Constitutionalist Marxist Communist Fascist - it might legitimize him as well.

Any day now, the White House will issue a definitive statement concerning just how many angels actually can dance on the head of a pin.

Islamic terrorists exist - this is the true nature of Islam.

Obama can deny it all he wants - and the fact remains they proudly kill and pillage in the name of Islam.

The Obama administration makes the Neville Chamberlain administration look like war hawks. “We can’t kill our way out of this war?” That doesn’t seem too nuanced to me. It seems like someone is afraid to meet the enemy and kill him. They don’t need jobs, they need slaughtered wholesale.

No, we *should* be at war with people who hearken back to the purest form of Islam.
