Criticized for avoiding the phrase “Islamic extremism,” President Obama said he doesn’t want to alienate the majority of peace-loving Muslims as the U.S. fights to defeat terrorist networks around the world. “I think that for us to be successful in fighting this scourge, it’s very important for us to align ourselves with the 99.9 percent of Muslims who are looking for the same thing we’re looking for: order, peace, prosperity,” Mr. Obama said on CNN. “And so I don’t quibble with labels.” The president also said he doesn’t want to “overinflate” the importance of terrorist groups by sending U.S. troops to occupy countries in the Middle East or by “playing whack-a-mole” against terrorist leaders because it drains America’s financial strength.

True islam, false islam, polka-dotted islam, it’s all islam.
No true Scotsman is an informal fallacy, an ad hoc attempt to retain an unreasoned assertion.
A simple rendition of the fallacy:
Person A: “No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.”
Person B: “But my uncle Angus likes sugar with his porridge.”
Person A: “Ah yes, but no true Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge.”

Saudi Arabia.
And communists aren’t motivated by true Marxism and Nazis weren’t motivated by true National Socialism.
I find the number of clairvoyants in the government... interesting.
The Prime Minister of Turkey - Erdogan - said that there is no such things as moderate Islam. Just Islam.
I've heard that argument actually used when the crimes of the soviets would be too much to ignore... yes, but they aren't true marxists...
After the horrors of Soviet, Chicom, NVA, and Cuban atrocities became too glaring to ignore, the cry went up among liberals:
“TRUE SOCIALISM HASN’T BEEN TRIED YET!!”
In its present form, used to excuse Muslim barbarism, it goes,
“THIS IS NOT ABOUT ISLAM!!!”
What’s most ridiculous is Obama claiming he knows anything about “true Islam.”
Does Obama really believe 99.9% of Muslims are Heretics.-Tom
In this case, to me Muslim Heretics would be those who hold opinions contrary to the basics of the religion.
Those basics in Islam would be to: subjugate ,convert or kill anyone who does not believe there is only one God and Muhammed is his messenger.
And that the Koran and Hadiths set the way to follow Allah's wishes.
Order, peace, prosperity are secular Infidel worldly goals and not Muslim goals. - Tom
No, no, no, we are not dealing with Muslims — we’re dealing with pseudo-muzzies, make-believe Muslims and pretend-bearded-barbarians who have no connections with the ROP.
Thank you Obama for reminding us.
0bama practices taqiyya, as usual.
Obama is the epitome of supreme arrogance.
False.
Whatever type of Islam in question, all are types of islam by definition.
You may argue about the characteristics of the various types, but I posted no fallacy, informal or not.
If you’re a pedophile molester who worships death and control (as opposed to someone who has relations with adults and values life and freedom), then you likely disagree.
>Obama really believes Islamic terrorism is a myth.<
.
No he doesn’t.
He wants YOU to believe it is.
“... the 99.9 percent of Muslims who are looking for the same thing we’re looking for: order......”
are they the same 99.9% who cheered and celebrated on 9/11??
Funny, I must have missed the 99.9 of Muslims marching in the street in worldwide protests of ISIS...
“... the 99.9 percent of Muslims who are looking for the same thing we’re looking for: order......”
are they the same 99.9% who cheered and celebrated on 9/11??
Erdogan disagrees with him....
“There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it.”
The Arbitor of Real Islam.
