In the wake of deadly terror attacks in Brussels, US President Barack Obama stated that it was important to avoid measures that might “stigmatize” Muslims-Americans, but the Republican presidential candidates were quick to disagree.
In his weekly media address, President Obama responded to the double attack in Brussels that left 31 dead and approximately 300 wounded. Two of the dead and 14 of the wounded were American citizens. The Islamic State(ISIS) took responsibility for the attack.
Obama said that targeting Muslims would be counterproductive”.
“[Muslim-Americans are] our most important partners in the nation’s fight against those who would wage violent jihad. That’s why we have to reject any attempt to stigmatize Muslim-Americans, and their enormous contributions to our country and our way of life,” Obama said. “Such attempts are contrary to our character, to our values, and to our history as a nation built around the idea of religious freedom. It’s also counterproductive.”
“It plays right into the hands of terrorists who want to turn us against one another — who need a reason to recruit more people to their hateful cause,” Obama addded.
Obama’s comments were in response to those by Republican candidates.

Stigmatizing Moslems? That’s almost as bad as demonizing Satan.
After 9-11, moderate muslims all around the world hit the streets celebrating. In the US, muslims were smart enough to celebrate behind closed doors.
This parasite is on thier side make no mistake about it, I can only hope that we are able some time in the future to nail him and send him to jail
Sometimes it’s NECESSARY to “STIGMATIZE” !
And btw self-defense is not “stigmatization” !
obama the snake is trying to reverse the process !
Typicall fraud from a little pervert !
Bad try obama
You’re kidding me!
As for his statement - bite me barry, little coward.
Did he mention the 2 Americans killed in Brussels?
Give a shout out maybe?
Are we under 300 days yet until this nightmare concludes??
Muslims all need to go back to The Land Of The Sand and The Home Of The Slaves. Every one of them! Since they worship Satan, they should do it in their own lands.
Let’s see, stigmatized Muslims. Sounds bad... Unfair even.
Now, compare to—blown up to death, horribly maimed, shot, beheaded, put in steel cages, soaked in gasoline and set on fire—Westerners.
no, I think at stigmatize, the Muslims get the better deal.
Better for every Muslim in the world to be stigmatized than one more innocent Westerner has to die for Islam.
The Muslims were responsible. One factor common in all these attack: Muslims.
Hey Muslim Barack HUSSEIN OBAMA....they Stigmatize themselves by being ANTI-CHRISTIAN and ANTI-JEW!! IDIOT.
Admirabel is the name of God!
Let me try that again:
Admirable is the name of God!
Man, that is ALL THEY “CAIR” ABOUT! The minute a bomb goes off, the “moderate Muslims” have nothing to say but “Don’t blame us.” That’s it. At best... at BEST they just don’t give a damn. At worst, they’re in on it, either via financial support, moral support, providing cover or whatever, but at best all they can say is, “Don’t blame us.” I mean, it’s like dealing with a million snotty little Bart Simpsons.
STFU, you miserable POS!
Like clinging to their bombs and Korans?
Victor Orban, the PM of Hungary did not and is not allowing in any of those so-called migrants. He put up serious fences and border guards carrying weapons — when the migrants wanted to just break open the fences and go in anyway. Now if only the rest of Europe and the US would learn from him.
Yeah yeah we know they’re your buddies and family, 0. Truth hurts but they ARE terrorists. Born and raised that way. Some just pretend to be our friends until its time to pull out the blade.
Well he IS their father.
And that's all it takes to push "moderate" Muslims into violent jihad? Feeling "stigmatized"? One dirty look is all that stands between "moderate" muslims and blowing up a train station?
That's odd... are Christians one dirty look away from mayhem? Are Jews? Are atheists? Are Hindus? Are Buddhists? Are the Amish? Are the Jains?
Is there ANY OTHER GROUP IN THE WORLD who is just ONE INSULT AWAY from murder???
