White House looks to curb anti-Muslim sentiment
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/15/2015 | By NICOLE DURAN

Posted on 12/15/2015 8:35:31 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The White House on Monday began "staff-level" meetings and calls with religious leaders to discuss how they could help combat growing anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States.

Valerie Jarrett, senior adviser to President Obama, and Melissa Rogers, who leads the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, held a conference call with leaders of all religions from across the country.

"Spoke with 890+ religious leaders to thank them for speaking up for every American's right to be free from religious discrimination," Jarrett tweeted on Monday.

Administration officials "routinely" interact with religious leaders, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Monday, stressing that the latest round of talks is being led by staff members, not the president.

The call Jarrett led was a "conversation to discuss efforts to combat discrimination and highlight the need for welcoming all faiths and beliefs," Earnest said. "It certainly seems a timely topic for a conversation like that," he said, noting the uptick in anti-Muslim rhetoric since the radical Islamic terrorist group, the so-called Islamic State, launched deadly attacks in Paris and inspired a shooting spree in San Bernardino, Calif.

Any “religious” leader that carries their water is a Muslim by extension.

Face on the floor, butt in the air. It will fit the existing theme of a lot of these fake churches.

Obama has been a Muslim for a very long time. Valerie Jarrett is an admitted Muslim.

How to “combat growing anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States”?

1 - Admitting that Islam is more of a death cult political system than a religion.

2 - Keep muslim jihadis and their supporters out of America and out of the White House

In other words, how to demonize & shut up any non-Muslims who express concern about being the target of (Islamist) terrorist attacks right here in this “not an existential threat” country.

“free from religious discrimination”

Except for Christians.

How nice.

Anyone call the families of the SB massacre to see how are doing?

Best way for them to curb it is to stop supporting the terrorists.

Yep, not a peep from this White Mosque when a Muslim beheads a woman in Oklahoma, or stabs people at a bus stop when they don’t reply “Muslim” to his queries of religious affiliation, or “honor” killings of Muslim women, and many, many more. It occurs to me that this didn’t just begin-I don’t recall much from the government when Salman Rushdie had a fatwa issued against him-but it has certainly ramped up under Hussein.

I wonder what people thought he meant when he said that he would stand with the Muslims should the “political” winds blow against them? He didn’t qualify it by saying “unless they’re targetting Americans”, etc.

They could give kumbayah sermons every day for the next 39 weeks. It won’t outweigh the next attack.

Sorry, you can't ignore them. They operated under the public's radar, in the shadows, claiming Islam is a religion of piece when in reality it is anything but:


Islam has encoded in its teachings- murder, lying, plunder, slavery, rape, warfare, and even terrorism as part of its official religious doctrine. Jesus said that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, and this is exactly what Islam has done from its beginning. No other religion so completely fits the description in the Bible of the beast and false prophet than Islam.

Islam is different from all the other religions that do not believe in Jesus, because Islam officially declares that Jesus is not the Son of God (Quran 4: 171; 18: 4-5), which is the Biblical definition of Antichrist: "Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son" (1 John 2: 22).

The spread of Islam has left a trail of blood, suffering, and destruction like no other ideology in world history. History, and even this present age, shows us that Islam is a very violent and fascist religion, full of hate for Christians and Jews. No one could invent a more evil cult.

Got to remember that Islam is from the DEVIL.

And on Monday after the San Bernardino shooting, every worker in the USA took a long hard look at the moslem working in the area with them.

What is that bulge under his coat? Gun? Knife?
Why is he suddenly growing a beard?
Why is he suddenly wearing a knit cap?
Why are his eyes so cold, dead, soulless?
Why does he suddenly demand a “safe space” so he can beat his head against the floor and howl like someone passing a kidney stone?
Why is his wife suddenly dressing like a folded up umbrella?

Why! Must not ask! It might be considered profiling!

Instead of going to war with Muslims, they go to war with Americans.

Note to regime:

YOU WILL LOSE! BADLY!
