American and European citizens and journalists are spurring jihadi violence by protesting the arrival of Muslim populations into their societies, President Barack Obama declared Thursday.
“We’ve also seen, most recently in Europe, a rise in inexcusable acts of anti-Semitism, or in some cases, anti-Muslim sentiment or anti-immigrant sentiment,” Obama told a Feb. 19 audience of U.S. and foreign officials and advocates, who met to discuss ways to minimize jihadi violence.
Peaceful criticism of Islamic culture is bad, he suggested. ”When people spew hatred toward others — because of their faith or because they’re immigrants — it feeds into terrorist narratives. … It feeds a cycle of fear and resentment and a sense of injustice upon which extremists prey,” he said.
So “we have to ensure that our diverse societies truly welcome and respect people of all faiths and backgrounds,” said Obama.
He insisted the conflict between Muslim and Western cultures is not caused by fundamentally different attitudes about freedom and religious solidarity.
The violence is caused by tit-for-tat “cycles of conflict,” and lack of dialogue. he said.
In the Arab region, “the terror campaigns between Sunnis and Shia will only end when major powers address their differences through dialogue … [when] political, civic and religious leaders [begin] rejecting sectarian strife.”
In Europe and America, governments should guide public debate over Muslim culture, Obama insisted. “We all recognize the need for more dialogues across countries and cultures. … So let’s bring our youth together to promote understanding and cooperation,” he said.
“That’s what the United States will do with our virtual exchange program — named after Ambassador Chris Stevens — to connect 1 million young people from America and the Middle East and North Africa for dialogue,” he added.
Since October 2014, tens of thousands of German citizens and families have been marching quietly and peacefully to protest the local government’s plan to settle many Muslims in their city.
The peaceful “PEGIDA” protests have expanded to other cities and countries since the jihad attacks in France, Belgium and Denmark, but have been met with opposition by an alliance of progressives and Islamists.
“PEGIDA” stands for “Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West.”
Those protests have been angrily criticized by establishment leaders. ”In the name of the government and the chancellor I can say quite clearly that there is no place in Germany for religious hatred, no matter which religion people belong to,” the spokesman for Germany’s prime minister said in December. ”There is no place for Islamophobia, anti-Semitism or any form of xenophobia or racism,” said Angela Merkel’s spokeswoman Christiane Wirtz.
The elite support for immigration of Muslims comes as polls show rising American and European opposition to immigrant Muslims’ mixture of religion and culture, which endorses polygamy, hostility to free speech, anti-Semitism, and which doesn’t value free enterprise, equality for non-Muslims, personal freedom or sexual equality.
muslims, homosexuals, cross dressers. It’s all he knows.
Agreed.
I actually hate the media more. Bozo and his radicals are doing this because they know the media covers for them and then the millions here have no idea who these radicals really are or what they are doing.
Ooh ooh and racism.
The ONLY religious group Obama is defending is murderous, torturous, Islam.
“rising American and European opposition to immigrant Muslims’ mixture of religion and culture, which endorses polygamy, hostility to free speech, anti-Semitism, and which doesn’t value free enterprise, equality for non-Muslims, personal freedom or sexual equality.”
Someone should ask Obama if he opposes this list one by one and then summarize it as opposition of Sharia for him.
That would cause the Islamists grief for sure.
Ah forgot the racism.
blacks , homosexuals, muslims, cross dressers and, illegals is all he cares about while Christians and Jews who are being killed are the threat.
Obama insists America is not special but he also says that the rest of the world reacts in exaggerated fashion to every word an American speaks, every position an American takes. Just as everyone else necessarily and naturally reacts violently to anything said or done by a non-liberal white man.
All their insanity and violence is a natural reaction to White Males in Europe or America not enthusiastically approving of them and celebrating them.
This is only the beginning. Obama has 23 more months in which to continue his destruction of the US, and he intends to do everything he can to make that happen. Unfortunately, we have weakling Republicans heading up the House and Senate who are doing nothing to stop him. Pray for America. The future welfare of our children and grandchildren is in the process of being destroyed by the closet Muslim.
I welcome jihad. Let’s get the shooting started and see who’s standing when its over. A muslim-free world sounds good to me
his usual clever blame-the-victims BS
HE is the one IMPORTING IslamoNazis into America or letting them enter... in large numbers too
all this during the Great Obama Recession with 93 million Americans lacking work
and of course he KNOWS FULL WELL that the islamoNazis are preparing to attack USA from inside our own borders
this is their entire mission, to subjugate and take us over
as commanded by their koran and as practiced by them everywhere the’ve ever managed to get their people into
so the IslamoNazi violence is about to break out FOR REAL inside America. what does O do? he starts blaming Americans for it ... starts getting his distorted, ass-backwards ‘narrative’ going
you don’t like a bunch of Islamo murdering thugs on your block? its YOUR FAULT, says Obama, if they decide to OFF you or your children or burn your place down some night
its YOUR fault, you the intended victims are responsible. Not Obama. Not his IslamoNazi pals.
YOU’re to blame!~
got it?
good.
Look, you have to recognize he knows what he’s doing. He is lying to our faces. It’s Al-Taqiyaa. The guy is a muslim covering for his muslim buddies. They are doing exaclty what he wants and he’s giving them cover. He’s got nothing backwards, he’s lying.
This is a “Christian” who wears a ring with the first part of the muslim credo on it. He just said this week muslims were a foundational part of America. Blatant muslim liar practicing Al-Taqiyaa.
and he has his finger on the nuke football
You're the one inviting them here, 0bozo!
Why don't you leave and take all them with you, 0bozo!
Problem solved
From what you read, virtually all rapes in Scandinavian countries involve muslim immigrants and it goes downhill from there. I don't see how bloodshed can be avoided in those countries at this point, they've tried to mix oil and water in a blender and it didn't work.
This emanating from the one person who has stimulated more religious violence across the Arab world than any other individual in the last 500 years.
Does he not know how angry he is making people and how his protestations of reality are just feeding a hatred Of Islam? He’s not that stupid...is he? Is he stirring us up deliberately?
The clash of free and tyranny will soak the earth
With the blood of patriots and tyrants
