When it comes to radical Islamic terrorism, the Obama White House is going out on a consistent note.
President Obama’s spokesman acknowledged Tuesday that an attack by a Muslim student at Ohio State University may have been motivated by extremism, but he cautioned against blaming it on radical Islam — a phrase he carefully avoided, in keeping with Mr. Obama’s practice.
“Our response as a country to this situation matters,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. “If we respond to this situation by casting aspersions on millions of people that adhere to a particular religion, or if we increase our suspicion of people who practice a particular religion, we’re more likely to contribute to acts of violence than we are to prevent them.”
During the presidential campaign, President-elect Donald Trump criticized Mr. Obama and his team frequently for avoiding the term “radical Islamic extremism,” saying the U.S. can’t defeat an enemy without describing it accurately.
Mr. Obama has said repeatedly that terrorism is a perversion of Islam, and he often points out that America has had its share of non-Muslim extremists, too. He believes, as do many of his top advisers, that portraying terrorism as a form of Islam only serves as a recruiting tool for the terrorists.

The White House and the Democrats practice Radical Ignorance.
Alt-Islam is supported over Christianity and Christians by alt-Democrats.
>>The White House and the Democrats practice Radical Ignorance.
It is not ignorance. You really should stop thinking that way. This is rational, cold-blooded evil. It is part of an agenda. It follows certain rules that we try to pretend away by calling them stupid. Wake up. This doesn’t go away on Jan 20!
Why is it, that if a white boy shoots up a black church, the liberals will jump to conclusions about racism, and then segway that outrage into unrelated matters such as banning the Confederate flag???
But if a Muslim commits a terrorist act, the liberals lecture us not to jump to conclusions about motivations and why he did it???? And we are warned not to be hostile to the Muslim community, and that Muslims committing atrocities do not do so in the name of their religion???
In one case, liberals criteria is to freely jump to conclusions. In another case, the liberals lecture us that we are not to jump to conclusions, and that we are actually bigoted if we hint at any conclusions linking Islam to terrorism.
Well I don’t like the term ‘Radical Islam’ either, because these terrorist represent ‘Orthodox Islam’.
There is nothing ‘radical’ about their terrorist activities at all. It is completely within the historical norms of Islamic orthodoxy.
The behavior of these terrorist is completely in adherence with the teachings of the Koran and the Hadeeths.
I know. That’s why we keep buying ammunition because the only certain cure for liberal evil is a liberal does of lead.
Alt-Democrats will vote for any felon over a man whose job is completed on time and under budget.
Alt-Democrats will vote for a President that releases terrorists from Guantanamo Bay to rain terror down on masses of people again.
Alt-Democrats will trash Christians and Christian beliefs, but refuse to say one word against Islam and the Islamic adherents.
Alt-Democrats refuse to use the phrase, “Radical Islamic Terrorists”.
Alt-Democrats think saying the Pledge of Allegiance or standing for the National Anthem in public, is wrong.
Alt-Democrats side with Fidel Castro, and not his victims.
We could go on. It’s clear what the alt-Democrats like.
It’s certainly not alt-America.
Someone post Cain’s comments about blaming guns for this Ohio terrorist attack.
It sure does. And that's why Trump was elected.
I don’t actually like the phrase “radical Islam”, as it is simply “Islam”.
Just a student anxious about his upcoming finals. Clearly we need more play-dough, coloring, and safe spaces. Maybe they should also try origami (although that WOULD require some thought, so maybe not) and letting everyone blow soap bubbles. Free warm milk for everyone!!
>This doesn’t go away on Jan 20!<

Finally someone who gets it.
DJT will do very little to keep muzzies out of the US — it was all election promises. These bearded monsters will continue to live and spread amongst us like the cancer that Mohammed designed them to be.
The phrase “radical Islam” itself obfuscates the reality. The source of the violence is Islam with no adjectives. It is basic to the “religion” and cannot be abjured. It is Justice. It is Allah’s command. Refusal to participate when called upon either by the imam or by Allah himself is apostasy and draws the death penalty without any “trial” which we in the west believe in. Any Mohammedan is authorized by Allah to carry out the sentence. This is not an exceptional interpretation of the Koran. It is what every Mahometan Imam holds to.
Segway is a silly mode of transportation. Segue is your word.

He can make it harder for them and can say things that other politicians won’t. But our open nation can’t stop them. Our weak-kneed Christians can’t see past the lies of Satan. Our atheists and pagans think they share a common enemy.
I dislike the term radical Islam because it is misleadling and unnecessary. Islam is radical. These people are not perverting Islam they are following it. It is not the person that is radical it is Islam itself.
I like that idea. Alt- as a prefix to progressive, liberal, left, whatever else is suitable. We should all use it automatically, put it in a macro or something.
