Obama says Europe should integrate Muslims to curb terrorism
The Los Angeles Times ^ | January 16, 2015 | Kathleen Hennessey, White House Correspondent

President Obama warned Europeans "not to simply respond with a hammer" in working against radicalization among its Muslim populations, and argued that the United States had an advantage on this front because American Muslims are better integrated into society..

“Our Muslim populations, they feel themselves to be Americans. There is, you know, this incredible process of immigration and assimilation that is part of our tradition that is probably our greatest strength,” Obama said Friday, as he stood next to British Prime Minister David Cameron at a news conference. “There are parts of Europe in which that's not the case, and that's probably the greatest danger that Europe faces.”

The comments were an unusually public bit of cultural analysis and counsel at a forum typically reserved for demonstrations of support and solidarity. In this case, Cameron politely disagreed with the American president's assessment of immigrant communities in the United Kingdom.

Obama went on to urge caution as European law enforcement authorities conduct broad counterterrorism sweeps in Belgium, France and Germany, a response to the recent terrorist attacks in France. The president suggested the crackdowns, along with economic disadvantages, would add to a sense of alienation among Muslim communities and feed their recruitment by jihadist groups....

If the Europeans were smart, they would give the Moslems a choice — go to a Moslem country or suffer the sword!

Charles Martel

Still the best response, no matter what Obama thinks.

I thought it was a ludicrous statement that deserved a snort of the absurd but then it hit me that he just gave the okay to bomb the United States.

This would work if the ragheads were willing to assimilate. But they are unwilling to even approach the subject. Send them back to the hell holes they came from is the only answer.

I tinks what nObama, the great ghazi means is that the muslims should have full power to tell their hosts what to do and how to let the rest of the populace enjoy their lives according to islam.

I am sure that is his vision.

He really is not very smart, is he? The Muslims, most of them, have absolutely no interest is assimilating into their host country. They have one overall goal - everyone converts to Islam. A Sharia world is their overarching dream.

Muslims, just like the Hispanics, as a whole do not want to integrate and Lord Foul is doing his level best to bring large numbers of both to America. The only thing more ridiculous than Lord Foul thinking Americans would pay attention to him is him believing any foreign leader would give a damn what he has to say.

... The president suggested the crackdowns, along with economic disadvantages, would add to a sense of alienation among Muslim communities ....

The leader Attila said Rome should integrate the Huns in order to curb plunder and violence. This would help reduce a sense of alienation among communities of Huns, Vandals, Goths and Visigoths in particular. /s

“Our Muslim populations, they feel themselves to be Americans. There is, you know, this incredible process of immigration and assimilation that is part of our tradition that is probably our greatest strength,”

One suspects that this is excludes a significant subset for which it is the precise opposite of the actual case. (Sadly)

OK, so he’ll go from Islam to atheistic communism. And reinterpret “leader” to mean “tyrant”.

I wonder what kind of speeches Attila would make if television was around during the last days of the Roman Empire.
