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

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.

I’m sure the LA schools shut down will help tamp down that sentiment.

Can we curb the anti-American sentiment from the White House?

The only way to curb anti-Muslim resentment, since Muslims are killing us, is to arrest all anti-Muslim resentment.

I suppose using White House here as apposed to using Barak Hussain Obama was a calculated edit.

The building doesn’t set policy.

Moslem mass murder is not a worrisome thing to the Sultan. Anti Moslem sentiment is. It makes perfect sense for a Mohammedan head of state.

Something you will never, ever see from a US government-a campaign to curb anti-Christian sentiment. How else would the stage be set for the antichrist, if there was a campaign to curb anti-Christian bias?

It would not surprise me if he converts to Islam to counter all the “hate” that he has created.

When I go to buy a car and the salesman keeps telling me “There is nothing wrong with the transmission”, I start to wonder if something is wrong with the transmission.
It’s the same with Obama and Islam.

They do a lot of that, my brain now has a filter which automatically translates and interprets mainstream media news, such as the use of “teen”, and many, many more.
