Hard to imagine a bigger load of bollocks.

And as for reassurances from Mecca in the White House, it need only be said that every third word out of the president’s mouth is not only a lie, but a whopper.

Bingo. It’s what they will look like if they are ever in the majority. The masks of moderation will come off.

[...the Islamic State, has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam.]

The hell it doesn’t...the US Undersecretary of the Treasury investigating terrorism financing had this to say in MAR 2014:

http://www.treasury.gov/press-center/press-releases/Pages/jl2308.aspx

Documents recovered during the 2011 raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan illustrate the same reality. Meticulously kept records detailed expenditures on everything from salaries for fighters and their families to floppy disks, and even included receipts for explosives.

Turned away by banks and other reputable financial institutions, terrorist groups have increasingly turned to less regulated channels – including hawaladars, exchange houses, and cash couriers – to transfer funds.

Iran remains the world’s most active state sponsor of terrorism, planning terrorist attacks, providing lethal aid, and delivering hundreds of millions of dollars per year in support to extremist groups across the globe. Hizballah, for example, has received significant monetary payments from Iran to fund the group’s activities in support of the brutal Asad regime. And during the past several years, Iranian weapons shipments, reportedly destined for Shia militants in Bahrain and Huthi rebels in Yemen, have been interdicted by local authorities.

Most notably, Qatar, a longtime U.S. ally, has for many years openly financed Hamas, a group that continues to undermine regional stability. Press reports indicate that the Qatari government is also supporting extremist groups operating in Syria.

But a number of fundraisers operating in more permissive jurisdictions – particularly in Kuwait and Qatar – are soliciting donations to fund extremist insurgents, not to meet legitimate humanitarian needs. The recipients of these funds are often terrorist groups, including al-Qa’ida’s Syrian affiliate, al-Nusrah Front, and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the group formerly known as al-Qa’ida in Iraq (AQI).

The US Govt knows what is going on - the Barry Administration is choosing not to act on this information/intelligence!

These guys give me the impression of a mix of mercenaries, mafia, and pirates. They’re sort of the Democrat party of Islamics.

ISIS has everything to do with Islam. Not because of ISIS per se, but because so-called “moderate” Muslims aren’t stopping them. Their complete silence on the radicals in their religion is more condemnable than the radicals themselves. Silence is assent.

Even though many of the moderate Muslims might like to speak out in condemnation of ISIL, they don’t dare do so for fear of losing their heads.

92% of Saudi Arabians approve of ISIS.

16% of.... France does.

The “that’s not true Islam” lie needs to stop.

> ISIS has everything to do with Islam.

Because everything they do is commanded in the Q’ran and Hadiths.

"The Islamic State Has Nothing to Do With Islam?" Here's a statement to rival 'Peace in Our Time' as the most asinine and gullible proclamation ever made!!

Whatever they may disagree about, Western leaders are in complete agreement about one thing: the new self-styled caliphate, the Islamic State, has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam

On the contrary, I posit that it is the true face of islam.

Barack Obama has made it clear: “ISIL speaks for no religion


The Liar in Chief said it so it has to be a LIE. A big fat bold face lie because it came from his stinking pie hole. Nothing comes from this imposters mouth but LIES.

ISIS/ISIL is Islam. It is what these Muslims think is the future.

They behead because their rapist prophet told them to do it

Until our politicians and media are willing to talk about the reality of Islam the way Mr. Spencer does, we are fighting a losing war. All the blood and treasure we spend is simply wasted, because we refuse to acknowledge the reality, let alone devise an effective solution. But 99% of them never will.

The Islamic State IS ISLAM!

Get over your feel-good, liberal gooiness! The only thing we need to know about Islam is how to kill Mussies efficiently and totally!
