In his prime-time speech to the nation on the eve of the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, President Obama vowed to “degrade and destroy” the Islamic State insurgency in Iraq and Syria with airstrikes and 475 U.S. boots on the ground – but he also made a particular point of declaring that the Islamic State terrorists “are not Islamic.”
“Now let’s make two things clear: ISIL is not Islamic,” Obama said, speaking from the state floor of the White House residence. “No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL’s victims have been Muslim.”
He added, “And ISIL is certainly not a state. It was formerly al-Qaida’s affiliate in Iraq, and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and Syria’s civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border. It is recognized by no government, nor the people it subjugates. ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple. And it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.”
Obama said the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, poses a threat to Iraq, Syria and the broader Middle East – including American citizens, personnel and facilities.

I heard the president gave a speech last night. How was it?
Says the man who ordered that Osama Bin Laden be given an muslim funeral ceremony.
FUBO
Ever hear this man say that Fred Phelps and Jeremiah Wright weren’t really Christian?
Thought so.
Depends on what the definition of “is” is.
Then why do you insist on including the nation of Libya when referring to them?
And President Obama is not presidential.
Black is white.
“Now let’s make two things clear: ISIL is not Islamic,” Obama said”
Now lets be clear the Obama is irrefutably a bald face liar.
What ever he says the opposite is true.
Obama also added that Crimea is free and part of Ukraine.
Errr....it says Islamic in the name. That should have been the first clue.
Maybe Dear Leader spent too much time sucking on the bong to realize.
Obama also added that Crimea is free and part of Ukraine.
Not Islamic? Prays 5x aday, Mohammad part of your name, Holds the koran, yells Allah akbar… need more evidence?
if you would have told me America would elect a Muslim sympathizer 8 years later after 9/11 today I would have thought you were nuts..it’s surreal
The speech was even worse than usual.
Ask him if Saudi Arabia is “Islamic” and if it is, does it represent the “moderate” form of Islam that he is so boastful of?
ZERO tolerance for religious texts of other faiths.
FUBO
I should say why does he insist upon referring to ISIS as representing a region larger than the one they currently occupy.
Democrats didn’t believe that the ‘Evil Empire’ was all that evil either.
