REENA FLORES CBS NEWS March 26, 2016 Obama Condemns Attempts To "Stigmatize" Muslims In Wake Of Brussels Attacks
With at least one Republican candidate for the White House endorsing patrols of U.S. Muslim neighborhoods in the wake of this week's deadly bombings in Brussels, President Obama is cautioning against such approaches, saying any such proposals would "stigmatize" Muslim-Americans.
"As we move forward in this fight, we have to wield another weapon alongside our airstrikes, our military, our counterterrorism work and our diplomacy," the president said in a video released Saturday. "That's the power of our example."
Mr. Obama called on the U.S. to "reject any attempt to stigmatize Muslim-Americans, and their enormous contributions to our country and our way of life."
"Such attempts are contrary to our character, to our values and to our history as a nation built around the idea of religious freedom," he said.
While he did not name Texas Sen. Ted Cruz specifically, he alluded to the GOP presidential contender's plan to police pockets of Muslims in the U.S., which Cruz has defended despite widespread criticism from members of his own party.
The president noted that such actions are a "counterproductive" approach to defeating extremists abroad because it "plays right into the hands of terrorists who want to turn us against one another, who need a reason to recruit more people to their hateful cause."

Move to Dubai your traitor. You are President of a country that no longer exists, thanks to you.
Try more like Ishmael and Isaac?
“If Obama got his way, or if Hillary wins, she’ll be wearing a burhka.”
Hillary in a burka is actually not a bad idea. She can’t drive a car and turns a blind eye to her husband’s infidelity-she’s half a Muslim wife already!
Here we go with Obama’s “That’s not who we are” BS.
>>> From the photo, you can’t rule out an ankle holster.
um... i wasn’t referring to firearms.
“Will God continue punishing this nation by allowing another 4-8 years of the same Godless presidency as the last 7 years? Will the nightmare continue?”
Why blame God for own stupid, lazy-ass deficiencies? If conservatives and patriots get off their fat asses, stop acting like greedy Mammon-worshipers and start confronting leftists, there won’t be any punishment.
I said ‘1972’, because that is the year I witnessed mohammedan activity in the overseas locale during the Vietnam War, mohammedan activity in Europe, mohammedan activity during the 1972 Munich Olympics, and the Yom Kippur War precipitated by mohammedan military forces.
Where did I blame God Dave? Did you not see that I wrote He may very well be punishing us for what we’ve done to Him? Punishment is usually for something someone does— infact i even laid out what that something was- Guess you missed that part?
I can’t see how that would make someone all that angry ???
“You want This as You’re First Lady ?”
Heck Yes!
Obama is the enemy.
