I think that what you are describing is due to Obama and Valerie Jarrett. Anything that promotes more, and more aggressive, Islam is something they sympathize with. I think BHO is hoping that it will smooth out eventually, but at a higher level.
BHO isn’t easy to pigeonhole, but my take is: Muslim first, racist a close second (he HATES white people), and well-trained in the use of Marxist tactics in furtherance of the first two aims.
But have you also noticed that ever since Donald J. Trump has become President, things have started to calm down over there?
