Obama administration wants to make sure ISLAM isn’t tarnished by ISIS ‘distortions’
http://therightscoop.com ^ | Sept 8, 2014 | Right Scoop

Secretary of State John Kerry announced that he will be trying to create as broad a coalition as possible to deal with ISIS. Not all of the countries in this coalition will be providing military support. Some will be providing humanitarian aid and some will make sure Islam, “one of the world’s great peaceful religions,” isn’t tarnished by ISIS:

Tomorrow, I will travel to the Middle East to continue to build the broadest possible coalition of partners around the globe to confront, degrade, and ultimately defeat ISIL. On Wednesday, President Obama will lay out in even greater detail our coordinated global strategy against ISIL.

As we build this coalition, I want to underscore that almost every single country on earth has a role to play in eliminating the ISIL threat and the evil that it represents. For some that will mean military assistance, both direct and in the form of training, arming, and advising, equipping.

For some it will mean contributing to the desperately needed humanitarian effort.

For some, it will mean helping identify, track and cut off ISIL’s funding and prevent the flow of foreign fighters.

For still others, it will mean demolishing the distortion of one of the world’s great peaceful religions and counteracting the propaganda ISIL uses to recruit new supporters.

Is it possible to dull the luster of a religion that saws the heads from people and jams then on spikes?
We Anglo-Euro infidels haven’t really done that kind of thing for, ah—a half-dozen centuries.

If it were really peaceful that would be obvious to everyone and there would be no need to use “peaceful” as a modifier.

Islam approves of:

Beheading
Stoning women who have been raped
Calling their husband their brother, if their father in law raped them
Surgically mutilating women’s sex organs
Delivering single digit girls into bondage as a wife to old men

On and on it goes...

Now, what is it that ISIS is doing that Islam doesn’t back 100%? I’m curious.

Perhaps it’s the other way around, Islam tarnishing ISIS reputation.

The “religion of peace” (/sarcasm) has enough manpower and weaponry to defeat those (like ISIS) who have hijacked (/sarcasm) the “religion of peace” (/sarcasm) Let them duke/nuke it out.

Why are you involved in this “distortion”, POSOTUS?

The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal.

FUBO

Because when we get rid of ISIS we just have moderates like Al Qaeda, the Taliban, Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, Boko Haram, PLO, Iran, Syria, Pakistan etc.

The IS is 100% SUNNI!! It is all Sunnis. All Sunnis are behind this huge army. NOT SHIITES!! Is this stupid government ever going to wake up? This is a Sunni war!! Are we going to spend another trillion to fight for Bashar Assad? You can’t make this up!! We have no dog in this fight. Stop this madness. Do I care if Sunnis kill Shiites? I can’t care!! Close our borders!! Find the Sunni enclaves in my country and get them out of my country!! Then if they attack us we NUKE THEM real bad. Wake up.

Hmmm. Interesting.

Some maps show that it is. I am no expert and surely do not know for a fact.
