Donald Trump Calls Out Obama for Refusing to Condemn 'Islamic Terrorism' in Chattanooga Shooting
Christian Post ^ | 07/18/2015 | Stoyan Zaimov

GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump called out President Barack Obama for his refusal to say "Islamic terrorism" in reference to the shooting Thursday in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which left four people dead. Trump suggested that given the security concerns that America is facing, the time for political correctness is over.

"It's going to get worse in our country and we better start fighting a lot tougher than we're fighting right now," Trump told Fox News host Bill O'Reilly in an interview. "If we're going to fight elements that are causing tremendous problems ... at least we have to start maybe being not so politically correct."

A 24-year-old suspect identified as Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez is believed to have carried out the attack on two military sites in Chattanooga, killing four Marines and wounding three other people before being shot dead by police.

What is known so far is that Abdulazeez was a naturalized American born in Kuwait, and that he was a devoted Muslim who blogged about Islam online.

The FBI, which is leading the investigation into the crime, has said that Abdulazeez was not on any terror suspect lists, and that it is too early to establish a motive for the attack.

"We are looking at every possible avenue, whether it was terrorism — whether it was domestic, international — or whether it was a simple, criminal act," FBI Special Agent Ed Reinhold said.

Obama called the shooting "heartbreaking," and said that the FBI and local law enforcement will provide the public with information as it becomes available.

"My main message right now is obviously the deepest sympathies of the American people to the four Marines that were killed," the president said.

"Obviously when you have an attack on a U.S. military facility, then we have to make sure that we have all the information necessary to make an assessment in terms of how this attack took place and what further precautions we can take in the future. And as we have more information, we'll let the public know."

Obama has previously been criticized by other conservatives for refusing to call terror group ISIS Islamic, but argued that he does not want to legitimize the jihadists by doing so.

"These terrorists are desperate for legitimacy. And all of us have a responsibility to refute the notion that groups like ISIL somehow represent Islam, because that is a falsehood that embraces the terrorists' narrative," Obama said back in February.

In his interview on Fox, Trump also spoke out against the no-gun-zones at the recruitment centers where the Marines were shot.

"These are four great Marines ... and that they're not allowed to carry guns is absolutely ridiculous," the billionaire businessman said.

It may be Trumps plan to take ¡Yeb! out.

I don’t want him to go anywhere until he does.

¡Yeb! vs Hillary?

Hillary is the lesser evil

Seems to me that Islam is more about sadistic rituals against people who don’t follow the ‘true path’ than anything else. Also worshipping the moon. That may explain the anti-dog thing. Dogs howling at the moon is probably offensive. No one can diss Allah.

It’s a three step program for America:
1. Burn the mosques. Every single one of them.
2. Hang the imams. Bury them face down with their feet facing Mecca. Every single one of them.
3. Deport every last remaining muslim. Hang or shoot the ones who resist. Every single one of them.

After that, it’s nuclear dawn over no fewer than five Islamic capitols. “Can you hear me now?”

This photo and accompanying list of things to watch out for was posted in June. It says to avoid wearing uniform to and from work or to limit the number of stops in transit if wearing uniform. there were real orders soon thereafter.

Here is a picture of Ed at work.

He wanted to make sure that she was his opponent next year.

But they are tripping over themselves to call out Trump for taking on that nasty old backstabbing coot...calling his own constituents crazy! Rotten bastard. I dislike him as much as I do any Dem. He’s never been a loyal friend to fellow Republicans nor a loyal representative.

Counting Trump, I think the Number is ONE.

Trump should lower the Flags outside every Building he owns to Half Mast.

That would really make The Dear Leader look the fool and show what an absolutely waste of Skin he really is.

It got more riduculous, they were told not to wear their uniforms.

Think about that. Inside the United States.

And it's even more stupid from our geniuses at the WH and Pentagon because the military personnel will still be reporting for duty at their recruiting offices and reserve centers, and still have military haircuts. People still know where they'll be working.

Maybe we better have weapons and other defense capabilities where military personnel work.

I worked the numbers up four or five days ago.

Just now I looked for it, and can’t find it.

The total donated was something like $830,000.

Just now I found an article that only addresses about $620,000, which shows trump paying a higher percentage to the Democrats.

I entered the numbers into a spread sheet, so the total stick in my mind.

I’ll see if I can find my post.
