White House Holds Meeting With Muslims And Sikhs by KRISTIN DONNELLY, CHRIS JANSING and CORKY SIEMASZKO

President Obama's top advisers held a series of meetings Monday with Muslim and Sikh religious leaders to discuss the fallout their communities are facing in the wake of the deadly San Bernardino shootings.

Senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, Domestic Policy Council director Cecilia Munoz, and Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes took part in the White House sit-downs — a dozen days after a radicalized Muslim couple fatally shot 14 people and wounded 21 more in California.

The Chicago-born Syed Farood and his wife Tashfeen Malik, a Pakistani national raised in Saudi Arabia, were killed in a gun battle with the police after the Dec. 2 massacre.

Representing the Muslim community were a dozen influential leaders including Maya Berry of the Arab-American Institute and Imam Khalid Latif, a New York Police Department chaplain.

A person inside the meetings told NBC News that participants thanked the Obama Administration for sticking up for Muslims, asked for advice how to deal with anti-Muslim hate crimes, and recounted heartbreaking tales of school girls being bullied for wearing head scarves.

PR campaign. Fake hate crimes. Create sympathy. Distract Americans from realizing ‘refugees’ are being flown in at a cost of millions of dollars.

We should allow Obama to be sued personally by the families of anyone killed by his refugees.

Is it true that the Muslims wish to kill the Sikhs along with the rest of us?

“A person inside the meetings told NBC News that participants thanked the Obama Administration for sticking up for Muslims....”

When was the last time Obama stuck up for the US?

Don’t you remember when Zippy invited all of those Christians to the White House who were being harassed, sued, and threatened by the LGBTQWERTY crowd?

Ya...neither do I

Sikhs keep the muslims out. If you’ve got Sikhs around, consider yourselves lucky.

And regardless what soebarkah might imply, I’d lay odds that they didn’t meet in the same room at the same time.

heartbreaking tales of school girls being bullied for wearing head scarves.

Heartbreaking tales of average Americans being
slaughtered by Islamic fanatics.

Yeah, I can see the connection. /s

He probably told them to (wink wink) tell their “communities” to look for anything and everything that can be construed as a backlash against muslims.

I really don’t think a good fumigation is going to be able to help the White House in 2017. We may have to tear it down and rebuild.

“Seriously, why do we give this prominence to these rag heads.”

Because Obama is one.
