This focus on a particular group of Muslims obscures the fact that the religion itself is the foundation of the threat.
Obama wants to cast Al Qaeda as if they were a gang like the Crips and Bloods. This lets Islam off the hook.

It's not a religion, it's a political system masquerading as a religion. Calling it a "religion" allows them to skirt laws under the cover of the First Amendment, when they have no right to that distinction.
David Koresh and Jim Jones were not allowed to break laws by virtue of the First Amendment because they were cults. Why should Islam be different?
