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.

Correct we are not at war with islam. Islam is at war with us. Islam has always been the murderous aggressor. What would Mohammed do? Look at what Mohammed did to know the answer. Where did islam come from? What were the origins/beginning/the roots of islam? The answer is violence against others to dominate and make them submit or face more violence. What would Mohammed have done in Paris? What did Mohammed do in Medina?

FLASHBACK: Obama Said ISIS Is Contained Friday Morning

Blake Neff
Reporter
7:57 PM 11/13/2015

President Obama declared ISIS was contained Friday morning, hours ahead of simultaneous attacks reportedly carried out by ISIS in Paris left at least 140 people dead.

In an interview with George Stephanopolous on Good Morning America Obama asserted that ISIS was not gaining strength and that “we have contained them.

We have always understood that our goal has to be militarily constraining ISIL capabilities, cutting off their supply lines, cutting off their financing,” he said.

When Stephanopolous suggested ISIS was gaining strength, Obama pushed back.

I don t think they’re gaining strength he said. From the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in Iraq, and in Syria they will come in, they’ll leave. But you don’t see this systemic march by ISIL across the terrain.

Correct. 0bama regime is at war with Americans that believe in free markets and the constitution. 0bama is the not so stealthy Jihad leader in the West. The totalitarian Left and Islam are allies.

So when something like this happens what is the POS response? Carbon taxes, gun confiscation and importation of more Jihadis.

>>But our gay president is clicking his heels together and pretending it isn’t so.

He is saying it isn’t so. But he’s clapping his hands that his plan is coming together so well: the Middle East is in flames, Europe is being overrun, negro college students are whining about microaggressions while black Americans are being murdered by the score every day in our cities, American workers are losing jobs, and the billionaires are getting richer every second.

BREAKING! First 10,000 Syrian Refugees Arrive In LA: Estimated Cost To Taxpayers For Family Of Four Is $257,480
By 100% FED Up -
Nov 13, 2015

WAKE UP AMERICA! Muslim terrorists refugees hand-selected by UN or foreign citizens who are unwilling to assimilate with American culture, laws and values doesn’t appear anywhere in the quote by Emma Lazarus that is mounted on our Statue of Liberty:

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

After the Hayride broke the exclusive story on 10,000 Syrian refugees possibly resettling in Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Metairie, it has now come to light that refugees are already coming into the New Orleans area.

Catholic Charities, which receive federal grants from U.S. Department of State/Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, have apparently taken in two Syrian refugee families already and are expecting many more.

There are approximately 180 cities in the country that are eligible to accept the 10,000 Syrian refugees. Here is the full list of those cities, which includes Baton Rouge, Matairie and Lafayette:

Not at war with Islam but at war with Jews and Christians.

“ISIS Forces Attack Christians Who Speak Aramaic, Language of Jesus Christ”

“Sadad previously fell to IS in 2013, but was recaptured by the Syrian Arab Army. During that attack it is believed that at least 45 Syriac Christians, including women and children, were massacred by the jihadists who, at the time, were receiving support from Obama administration.”

Go home, Obamanation!

“Christians facing ‘Indonesian jihad’ as churches burned on imams’ orders: report”

A 153-foot statue of an open-armed Jesus famously towers high above the Indonesian city of Manado, but Christians are under siege in the world’s fourth-most populous country, according to a disturbing new report.

The Southeast Asian nation, where about 90 percent of its 250 million people are Muslim, has long been seen as seen as an example that a large Muslim majority can live in relative peace alongside minority religions, like Christianity and Hinduism. But in October, there was a troubling outburst in violence in the Sharia-law governed region of Aceh. At the urging from Islamic leaders, hundreds of Muslims took to the streets with machetes and torched area churches.

The executive branch is at war with Christians.

“ISIS Genocide Victims Do Not Include Christians, the State Department Is Poised to Rule
By Nina Shea

A report by a renowned journalist states that Christians are to be excluded from an impending official United States government declaration of ISIS genocide. If true, it would reflect a familiar pattern within the administration of a politically correct bias that views Christians — even non-Western congregations such as those in Iraq and Syria — never as victims but always as Inquisition-style oppressors. (That a State Department genocide designation for ISIS may be imminent was acknowledged last week in congressional testimony, by Ambassador Anne Patterson, the assistant secretary of the State Department’s Near East Bureau.)

Yazidis, according to the story by investigative reporter Michael Isikoff, are going to be officially recognized as genocide victims, and rightly so. Yet Christians, who are also among the most vulnerable religious minority groups that have been deliberately and mercilessly targeted for eradication by ISIS, are not. This is not an academic matter. A genocide designation would have significant policy implications for American efforts to restore property and lands taken from the minority groups and for offers of aid, asylum, and other protections to such victims. Worse, it would mean that, under the Genocide Convention, the United States and other governments would not be bound to act to suppress or even prevent the genocide of these Christians.”

BETWEEN THE LINES
Obama: The most anti-Israel president
Exclusive: Joseph Farah hits BHO for ‘blaming-the-victim mentality’ regarding attacks
Published: 11/03/2015 at 7:43 PM
Editor’s note Joseph Farah is leading the annual WND tour of Israel through Nov. 15.

JERUSALEM As I headed to Israel this week, I was curious to read the latest security alert from Barack Obamas State Department for travel advisories.

Since I have been to Israel many, many times over the last 35 years – four times in just the last three years – I take these notices with a grain of salt. Suffice it to say I think I have a better handle on the security situation than John Kerry does.

It turns out State is tightening restrictions on travel for its employees in Israel since the spike in Arab violence that has killed eight Israelis and injured dozens more. In fact, it is prohibiting U.S. employees from traveling to what it calls the West Bank and the Old City of Jerusalem after dark.

Note these are areas with heavy concentrations of Arab Palestinians. Those are the people attacking Israelis, mostly civilians. But the State Department doesn’t blame the perpetrators of these crimes. Instead, U.S. officials blame … the Israelis.

According to State Department “analysts,” the fact that Israel is building homes in the Jewish state accounts for the increased violence. A secondary “cause,” U.S. officials say, are visits to the Temple Mount area by Jews seeking to pray on what they consider to be the holiest site in Judaism.
