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."

MoHAMmad perverted Islam. It was baked in from the start. Jihad is the path of Mad Mo’.

Traitorous SOB probably bowed down to All Ugh and thanked him for the success of the glorious martyrs in Paris.

Statement by the President on the Situation in Paris

Predictably missing:

islam, islamic
muslim
ISIS
ISIL
islamic state
immigrants

Just your every day non-denominational "terrorist".

But Islam is at war with us and Sultan Hussein is the leader of the Jihad in the American Theater.
