MANILA, Philippines -- President Obama on Wednesday angrily accused Republicans of feeding into the Islamic State's strategy of casting the United States as waging war on Muslims, saying the GOP's rhetoric has become the most "potent recruitment tool" for the militant group.
Obama was responding to recent calls from Republicans, including presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.), to block Syrian refugees' entrance into the United States. Bush and Cruz have suggested welcoming Christian refugees, but not those who are Muslims.
"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.
Dozens of GOP governors have said this week they will not accept Syrian refugees into their states.

They don’t need a recruitment tool. They have the Koran.
What helps their recruitment EVER BETTER is the West bringing in 5,000 of terrorists every day.
You can’t believe anything Obama says. He hasn’t a clue about anything. He lives in a different world than the one we live in. The guy is a jerk.
He will not quit until the marshals take him into custody.
Never forget that Obama always uses ISIL because the Levant includes Israel.
The Islamic State is following the example of their prophet and his instructions in their book.
That is the true nature of Islam.
We must get people to give up on delusions of a peaceful Islam, it has never existed.
Islam has been at war with everyone else since 622 A.D.
Mad Mo made it so.
I agree, but you forgot another very important element, the various hadis/hadith. This is where the “meat” of their savagery lies.
Saith Barky, ValJar & Soros trained clown while globetrotting plotting America’s demise & burning billions of $ of the people he hates.
I’m really moved. /s
Look who created it and is still arming it.
Wait. I thought Gitmo was the most potent recruitment tool for terrorists.
Who commissioned this poll?
Muslims have been saying the same for 1600 years.
Submit or we’ll be forced to become violent.
Agreed. A War by any other name is STILL a WAR! Obummer has surpassed Neville Chamberlain as an appeaser. He now appears to be promoting the fall of America worldwide. Anyone who doesn’t know he is a Muslim, is deaf, dumb, and blind!
Wait. If ISIS does not represent islam, why would so-called anti-muslim rhetoric cause islamists to join ISIS?
So we’ve bring bringing 1000’s of them in here since 9/11, presidents and leaders from around the world that bend over for Islam, yet they still attack and are growing.
Drawing a Red Line, then not backing it up, was the biggest recruitment tool that ISIS could ever hope for.
Certainly the toads in the state owned news media won’t.
IMO they are the single greatest threat facing this nation, not radical Islam, not global climate change. If Americans don’t start going to the polls equipped with the truth soon then stick a fork in the USA.
So says obama the Supreme Islamic/Caliph for the entire islamic world...
Is POSOTUS the only person who calls Isis, isil?
ISIS acronym for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
It would be called ASIS if it was Amish State of Iraq and Syria.
