I can’t believe Obama is so simplistic about the Muslim-Western conflict that he downplays it to a social class issue:
—“One of the great strengths of the United States, and part of the reason why we have not seen more attacks in the United States, is that we have an extraordinarily successful, patriotic, integrated Muslim community. They do not feel ghettoized. They do not feel isolated. Their children are our children’s friends, going to the same schools.
“They are our colleagues in our workplaces. They are our men and women in uniform, fighting for our freedom. So any approach that would single them out or target them for discrimination is not only wrong and un-American, but it also would be counterproductive, because it would reduce the strength – the antibodies that we have to resist terrorism,” Obama said.
Obama was essentially saying US Muslims are “Better off” than “EuroMuzzies” but he’s naive. There is a palpable percentage of all Muslims who have a philosophical hatred for Western values and they WILL commit terrorist acts now and in the future.
He’s also overlooking the fact that most of the terrorists aren’t necessarily “unsuccessful.”
Ahhhhh. the explains the incident of workplace violence at Forth Hood: “They are our colleagues in our workplaces....”
