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 idiot on MSNBC yesterday said it could have been just road rage. Movealong
You beat me to it. It’s not “radical Islam,” it’s Islam, period. It’s what Muslims have always done, according to their most basic beliefs and rules.
Headchoppers and murderous drivers and stabbers are neither radical or terrorists. Their activity is mandated in the Koran of every Moslem in a position to profitably carry it out. It is not designed to be terror. It is, rather, the attempt to follow the Koran and eliminate Infidelity to Allah and Islam. They don’t care whether people are terrified. They just want them converted or dead.
Just because they are Muslim killers and attackers, that doesn't mean they are Muslim terrorists!
>But our open nation can’t stop them.<
.
And that is why we will ultimately lose the fight against Islam, and the muzzies know it. Brace yourselves against more muslim terrorism and more fawning towards and increasing privileges for the bearded monsters.
That’s certainly a reasoned comment on the face of it.
There’s no way to back up an argument against what you said.
He can claim there were no islamic terrorist attacks during his administration.
Of course, because he wants to bring in a few hundred thousand.
Our local paper, although caught in an ever leftward drift, called the wannabe killer a “Somali-born student” in the sub-head, and noted “terror link suspected” there also.
Islam has nothing to do with Islam......./s
I can’t wait to get rid of that mealy-mouthed, forked tongue Josh Earnest.
>>And that is why we will ultimately lose the fight against Islam, and the muzzies know it. Brace yourselves against more muslim terrorism and more fawning towards and increasing privileges for the bearded monsters.
We won’t lose to them. Their religion is a harsh desert religion. it is incompatible with a nation of greenness, water, and abundance in all things. They will grow to a point and then Americanness will overwhelm them, weaken their faith, until they are just Episcopals with a beard.
Just Josh Earnest doing his daily lying to cover for his pathological liar boss.
Funny, seems we have had more frequent attacks since Obama came into power, and tried to make nice with the terrorists.
Well said.
Thee is nothing radical about following Islam the way Allah and Muhammad want it done.
The Koran and Hadiths will spell it out.
If you're having trouble with understanding the basics of Islam, read the Hadiths and follow the examples set by Muhammad, the perfect man, and the prophet of Allah.
If you have to use an adjective, use "fundamental" Muslims and not radical or extreme to describe the terrorists - Tom
I actually Agree with not using the term “Radical Islam”, there is NO SUCH THING as RADICAL ISLAM
There is only ISLAM. And it is NOT A RELIGION in any sense of the word.
A “particular religion” that dare not speak its name.
Of course, to Barack Hussein Obama, these stabbings are completely within Muslim traditions of attempted serial killing and mass murderring of infidels. The vulture of Isalm is true to his barbaric beliefs in the Islamic political party, aka, the demrats.
There is no such thing as radical Islam, it is simply put, Islam.
