Obama proclaims: 'We are not at war with Islam'

By Jim Acosta and Kevin Liptak, CNN

Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama, speaking at his summit on countering violent extremism Wednesday, sought to strike a balance between appealing for more acceptance of Muslim-Americans while emphasizing the need to remain vigilant against radicals who could turn violent.

"We are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam," Obama said during his remarks, adding later that Muslim leaders "need to do more to discredit the notion that our nations are determined to suppress Islam."

Obama went to lengths before the summit began to avoid linking extremism to the Muslim faith; his intent, aides say, was to avoid giving credence to the ideologies of Islamic State or al Qaeda terrorists.

But Islam is at war with us. So it's a one sided battle. You can't win a war you won't fight, so you guarantee our defeat. And that makes you a traitor.

and Jorge would call it a “religion of peace” and tell us to go shopping

ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION!!! Islam is a theocracy and it must be identified as such. Calling it a religion only gives it cover that it does not deserve. As long as they can keep hiding under the cover of religion it becomes a moral issue that it meet.

ISLAM IS A THEOCRACY. It must be called what it is.

That’s the problem, we are not at war with Islam. It should be wiped out.
