During Sunday's address to the nation, President Obama went to bat for Islam, as he so often does. It matters not when, where, or how he defends it. His compulsion to advocate for the ideology he so adores is relentless. If he shills for Islam immediately following an Islamic terror attack, no problem. Perhaps he even enjoys it, like poking his finger in our eye. His sickness knows no bounds. And so, among other things, Sunday he said:
ISIL does not speak for Islam. They're thugs and killers, part of a cult of death. And they account for a tiny fraction of more than a billion Muslims around the world, including many patriotic Muslim Americans who reject their hateful ideology.Well, um, actually ISIS does speak for Islam. As noted in an article by Pamela Geller at Breitbart this weekend, here are a few among countless little gems from the Quran:
Slay them wherever you come upon them.Please, Mr. Barry Soetoro, do tell us exactly how it is that ISIS does not speak for Islam?If they fight you, slay them.
Fight those who believe not in Allah.
They shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall be alternately struck off.
They shall be banished from the land.
Cast into the unbelievers hearts, terror.
Lie in wait for them at every place of ambush.
When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them tie fast the bonds.
Take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah.
As for Obama's pathetic attempt to frame ISIS as "a tiny fraction" of the Muslim population worldwide, that just doesn't cut it.

Note no full-force retaliation like France, no mosque raids, no house-to-house searches. Sure that wouldn’t fly here but we don’t even get a President who says it has to stop.
Unless someone reforms islam, they will continue to be applied until the entire world worship the islamic allah.
There are no corresponding operative principles in any other religion.
I think the Facebook poster might have been trying to confuse infidels as to the true nature of islam.
Wake up Obama and quit lying. You are despicable, deranged and destructive person.
My response was that Jesus did not tell people to kill people. Mohammed did. That’s about as deep as one can get on Facebook. It’s all about soundbites.
ISIS - just doing what they must to heed the highest calling in Islam - to follow in the footsteps of its founder, mohammad, the mass murder.
Most Westerners don't about the principle of "abrogation" in the Koran. Later verses abrogated (replaced) earlier, more peaceful ones.

Taqiyya. Obama’s specialty.
Re: “Iâve had it pushed back that the OT has similar phrases. Iâve read it three times through and parts of it many other times and never seen that. There are violent places where God tells the Israelites to kill every man, woman, and child and all the animals.”
RoosterRedux answered your question pretty well, but the whole issue of Israel being told by God to destroy certain groups of people in OT times was because of specific judgement for specified acts of sin by these peoples - it wasn’t just to acquire land. Also, the judgement came after literally hundreds of years of warning by God to these peoples to repent or else.
In fact, God told the nation of Israel that if they started committing the same acts of sin as these peoples they were destroying before them, that He would do the same thing to them. So, my point is, it was about judgement. And, God has the right, as Creator, to judge the actions of His creation.
As you already pointed out to someone else, there are no such commands to kill unbelievers in Jesus found in the NT, not by Jesus or any of the apostles. When so-called Christians did atrocities in Jesus’ Name, they did so in either complete ignorance or in disregard of His clear teachings to love one’s enemies.
As to whether or not the Koran is misused by ISIL or other Islamic groups, I just don’t know. I hear some Muslims claim that the Koran is taken out of context, then I hear others say that it clearly teaches the continued killing of all infidels.
I just think we shouldn’t be importing hundreds of thousands of people whom we have no idea of their true intentions or designs - particularly from countries whose religious world view has been opposed to the Christian or Western view of political freedom and the value of human life, for centuries.
There is only one Islam, and its holy book is a totalitarian ideology that mandates world domination.

All obama cared about that evening was he was going to another party.
