Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Obama’s Strategy on Islamic Extremism ‘Has Failed’
Breitbart ^ | November 23, 2015 | by IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 11/23/2015 11:05:06 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Author and human rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali argued President Obama's position on radical Islam is what he believes is strategic, but "it's a strategy that has failed" on Monday's "Hannity" on the Fox News Channel.

Ali stated, "I'm always surprised to see people of authority here saying, what we see, these terrorist acts, the subjugation of women, the hatred of Jews and Christians, it has nothing to do with Islam. I mean, I watch that with amazement. I obviously have come to understand that it is a strategic position, that if we say these things, maybe the Islamist extremists will not get their way, but it's just not true."

She added, "We are self-intimidating. I don't think that we are being forced by outside powers. Our president is not being forced by outside powers to take the position that he's taking. He has taken it after a lot of thought. He thinks it's strategic. I just think it's a strategy that has failed. He's not the only one who tried it. All Western establishment leaders have insisted we are not at war with Islam. It's absolutely true. We are not at war with Islam. we're not waging war on Islam. That has -- that is absolutely true. But, within Islam, and using Islamic theology, Islamic tradition, Islamic philosophy, we have hundreds of thousands of people who are at war with us."

The Muslims that are already here are being Islamacized.

This isn’t Islamic extremism we are witnessing.

This is mainstream Islamic thought at work.

Ever see any Islamic leader decry the actions of ISIS?

Neither have I.

What happened in Europe is now happening here. Obama is just making it worse.

A few are, perhaps...but the Egyptians overthrew Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood.

So did Lebanon in their Cedar Revolution. Jordan is also fighting the good fight against ISIS.

Bizarrely, ISIS/Al Qaeda/Muslim Brotherhood/HAMAS are also at war against Shi’ites in Iraq and Iran, plus a lot of Kurds.

And that brings us to Assad in Syria, who is directly fighting ISIS. Obama wants Assad gone.

Odd...

The wise man has said:
The "extremist" Muslim wants to cut your head off.

The "moderate" Muslim wants the extremist Muslim to cut your head off.

That about says it.

Worth watching. Ayaan Hirsi Ali discussing her autobiography on CSPAN. After Words with Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

She also speaks about ISIS back in April.

Yeah I know. I’m in the same boat and with nowhere else to go I feel like I have no paddle. It’s very scary.

Oh, I dunno... I think 0bama’s Strategy On Islamic Extremism is working just about the way he wants to.

Sure, he gets a little mad when he has to blow up one of his Brothers, but the Kabuki Show must go on!

I suspect he's being weak on going after ISIS intentionally in order to open the door for his comrade Vladimir Putin to step in, do the job, then set up permanent base and grab control of the region. Because he's gone out of his way to grant Putin everything he's wanted on missile defense and nukes, setting the stage for them to reemerge as a global superpower. Obama and many around him were loyal supporters of the Soviet Union. And KGB/FSB Putin is basically out to restore it.

Donald Trump: 'Putin has eaten Obama's lunch' on Ukraine


Mar 13, 2014
Eun Kyung Kim: TODAY

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."

The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.

"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

People keep refering to “O’s” ‘strategy’.

I guess I missed the news that day... I have never seen a ‘strategy’.

I have seen a lot of ‘make it up as you go along’; ‘wag the dog’; ‘blame someone else’; ‘screw your allies’; ‘lie to the American people’, etc. Yea... I saw a LOT of THAT... but no, not any ‘strategy’ per se.

Obama’s Strategy on Islamic Extremism Is Failing Just As It Was Intended To.

There’s not a single damned thing that Obama’s done that was not meant to harm the US either directly or indirectly.

Were it not for the weak, spineless, effete, doormat Republican political establishment elites Obama would be a complete failure, and America and the world would be better for it.
