Even while the media is describing Peter Kassig, the ISIS hostage who apparently converted to Islam in captivity and was beheaded, by his American name, the Obama statement calls him by his Muslim name.
“Today we offer our prayers and condolences to the parents and family of Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known to us as Peter,” Obama’s statement reads.
“While ISIL revels in the slaughter of innocents, including Muslims, and is bent only on sowing death and destruction… ISIL’s actions represent no faith, least of all the Muslim faith which Abdul-Rahman adopted as his own.”
Most of the hostages had in fact converted to Islam, with a exceptions like Steven Satloff. It’s understandable that his family would have wanted to push the “He’s a Muslim” line in the hopes of saving his life (a futile effort) but it’s truly despicable for Obama to exploit the murder of an American in order to do public relations for Islam.
The interesting media phenomenon is that Westerners who convert to Islam and become terrorists are almost never referred to by their Muslim names. Meanwhile Kassig who was killed by Muslims is.
Every Muslim act of terror is followed by a political act of cover-up.
While it’s hard to know what was in Kassig’s heart, unlike most of the hostages, he never read a statement denouncing America.
A friend said the lack of a statement suggested he had defied his captors. Michael Downey, a close friend from Beirut said: “I think he refused. He was a man of principle and wouldn’t give into intimidation from thugs. He never took the easy route.”
Too bad our government loves not only giving into thugs, but glorifying their religion of thuggery.
Yeah I noticed that myself.
In Islam, conversion is a one-way street. Obama knows, and mouths his platitudes accordingly.
Still denying that ISIS/IS/ISIL is even Muslim while millions cheer at every atrocity.
Words fail me. January 2017 cannot come quick enough. We need to be rid of this leftist, Muslim monstrosity.
Good find, statement.
Obola is in his own world.
No birth certificate.
But ISIL which does not exist.
And no Peter, here.
Obola is truly psychopathic, only enabled by the corrupt
EXEMPT who have condoned his antiConstitutional Tyranny,
wholesale.

Heck of lot better places out there to go “find yourself.”
Here in Indy the media call him that muzzie name too. His parents have pretended to be muzzie too. I think they did that because they thought they could appeal to local muzzie groups to save Peter’s head.
At this point, if I were them, I would take that muzzie garb Peter’s mama was wearing, the prayer rugs, and the Koran, set them on fire and post pictures on the internet.
He’s almost trying to say “They killed a fellow Muslim” or “Even converting didn’t help him”.
How dare the President refer to this American by any name other than his legal name.
Oh, almost forgot. The President’s name is actually Barry Soetoro.
Which means most likely it wasn't a simple beheading.. but included massive torture first...
RE: The President’s name is actually Barry Soetoro.
Hussein, don’t forget Hussein ( as in Saddam Hussein ).
Everytime the jackass heathen opens his mouth he sinks to a new low.
Obola is pure evil.
May he swim in The Lake of Fire for all eternity.
He wasn't "Islam" enough.
Actually he converted to Islam before heading back to Syria to do volunteer aid work. He didn’t convert as part of being a hostage. His mother may have always been Muslim or wore the headscarf in support - I’ve never read anything conclusive either way.
