I guess that means 92% of Saudis are “extremists who want to abuse Islam”.

Is Obama 100% sure these people are not just bitter clingers, hanging on to their guns and their religion?

Ya understand it’s just branding. Like Christian Bale doesn’t have anything necessarily to do with Christianity.

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.

And that is why it is winning. It has EVERYTHING to do with islam. It is islam. It is the whole purpose and reason for islam. We lose simply because we refuse to acknowledge who or what the enemy really is.

All Islam followers are ticking time bombs. You never know when Mohammed's many Koranic blood directives will spring forth in the mind of the follower, be taken seriously, and acted upon. No ‘true’ Muslim dares criticize Islam for to do so renders him or her a heretic, guilty of blasphemy, just one of many violations paid for with blood.

Don’t forget that Neville Chamberlain, at least, took less than one calendar year from that moment to figure out that he’d been had.

“ISIL speaks for no religion. Their victims are overwhelmingly Muslim, and no faith teaches people to massacre innocents.”

Sahih Bukhari Hadith Volume 4, Book 52, Number 176: You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Jew (hiding himself behind me); kill him.

I think it is less a matter of getting it than it is of mostly sharing their ideology. BO’s sole disagreements with ISIS are methodology and tactics.

The Islamic Kingdom ruled by a Caliphate has had its 1290 years as prophesied.

It began in 632 A.D. and ended in 1922 (1290 years later) when the Turkish Ottoman Empire came to an end with the abdication of the Sultan.

In 634 A.D. Caliph Omar who conquered Jerusalem and established the empire began to rule. In 1924 (1290 years later) the caliphate was abolished.

People forget their history and that this Islamic Kingdom reigned far and wide for over a millennium. We see today the kind of brutality and lack of freedom that sort of rule brings. After the Caliphate was abolished almost immediately some movements were started to restore it. Al Qaeda, ISIS and others have direct ties to this movement. The have openly declared war on the Christian west. Make no mistake they want a global Islamic kingdom with Christians nations eliminated.

Don’t associate them with Islam thought right? Let’s compare the beginnings to Christianity. Christ claimed to be from His Father in heaven. Mohammed initially thought his teaching was from Satan. The first generations of Disciples of Christ spread truth and charity at the cost of great suffering. The first generations of the followers of Mohammed were warring almost constantly within a few years of his death. Their religion has been marked by violence from the beginning. You can quote any Koran teaching you want but the fruit of combativeness speaks for itself.

“”State Department spokesperson Marie Harf emphasized that Obama meant what he said: “ISIL does not operate in the name of any religion. The president has been very clear about that, and the more we can underscore that, the better.””

So says the teenybopper at the State Department. I guess this means it has to be absolutely true because the “constitutional professor” in the Oval office said so.

Gads! When do these people start to think for themselves? I know - the answer is never. They wouldn’t be democrats or serving a numbskull if they were capable of thinking!

Marie Harf is a prostituted shill for Obama and his enablers including Jarrett and the other hardcore Muslims that form his court but which the public knows little.

Some people say we should stop calling these jerks ISIS and call it The Islamic State. It is the Islamic State.

Recall that Barack Obama and his on the Left repeatedly claimed that Osama Bin Laden did not represent real Islam, then Barack promptly gave OBL a respectful Islamic funeral so as not to piss off the loyal muslim followers of OBL...

If the so-called moderate Muslims are correct that only a tiny minority are radical Islamists, then they have nothing to fear. They outnumber the radicals 10 to 1. If they REALLY opposed the radicals, they could come out en masse with such a show of strength that the radicals would be powerless to stop them.

But that never happened, and it never will. First, the number of Muslims who support Sharia is WAY larger than 10%, more like 30%. These so-called “moderate” Muslims are not moderate. Radicals are running wild all over the world and the “moderates” are totally silent. Where are the moderate imams issuing fatwas against the radicals, saying in no uncertain terms that violence in the name of Allah will send you to hell? It’ll never happen, because they believe the exact opposite.

It’s a combination of assent, for the ones who say they oppose the Islamists but really don’t, and cowardice, for the ones who like you say, fear losing their heads.

Those who deny that these are muslims deny clauses in the Koran which supports the violent spread of the RELIGION.

Their position is not only denial, it is dangerous.

I'm sure many people said oh that Hitler he is just stretching his legs. Even after Mien Kampf
