Obama calls GOP rhetoric on Syrian refugees a ‘potent recruitment tool for ISIL’

"I cannot think of a more potent recruitment tool for ISIL than some of the rhetoric coming out of here in the course of this debate," Obama said during a news conference at a leadership summit here, using an acronym for the Islamic State.

The president said that the group "seeks to exploit the idea that there's war between Islam and the West, and when you start seeing individuals in position of responsibility suggesting Christians are more worthy of protection than Muslims are in a war-torn land that feeds the ISIL narrative."

Obama's sharp words, delivered during his stop at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit here, underscored the enormous chasm between the president's approach to upheaval in the Mideast and those of Republicans, some of whom are seeking their party's presidential nomination next year. The president has pledged to accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees in the coming year, but the fact that a Syrian passport was recovered from one of the assailants killed Friday during the terrorist strikes in Paris has prompted many GOP politicians to call for a halt to any such plan.

"They are subjected to the most rigorous process conceivable," Obama said of those seeking asylum. "The intelligence community vets fully who they are."

Please don't confuse that with a 'recruitment tool'.

Muslims have been saying the same thing for 1600 years. 'Submit or we'll be forced to become violent'.

Check out the imam at the 1:49 mark. Its the same crap, you won't let us build a mosque and that encourages ISIS.

Send all Obonzo’s Muzzie pals to the deep blue states. Those “three year old orphans are HUGE!!!” Most of them look like they’re 18 to 25 years old. Most wear beards too! Even the “widows”. FUBHO.

Obama to US: Don't try to defend yourself else ISIL will become worse.

Obama's rhetoric is a potent recruitment tool.

So Obama and even Paul Ryan have said there will be no religious tests for refugee status. That flies in the face of all that is sane and compassionate. You see ISIS has a religious test for who they kill, Christians, Yezidis, Kurds, Sufi, etc. These are the people who are most in need of refuge. This nonsense of political posturing is insane. Can’t anybody think rationally and compassionately?

Obama needs someone to blame when the first attack happens.

The dirty secret is he will chose the target and give the go order.

...wake up.

It is just incredible to me, how these POSs are able to lie through their teeth, and expect us to believe the BS coming out of their mouths.

1. Does Obama drink?

2. Does he smoke those funny cigarettes they sell in Colorado?

3. Does he inject funny fluids into his veins?

4. Or is he just another run-of-the-mill Sunni Muslim?

I choose 4. But there could be more than one correct answer.
