And one of those groups is ISIL -- which calls itself the “Islamic State.”
Now let’s make two things clear: ISIL is not “Islamic.”

I guess Islam isn't a religion then as its holy book instructs, "Kill the Infidels where you find them." And an Infidel is someone who will not swear allegiance to Allah. nobama is laying down the Taqiyya mighty thick. He is not to be believed.
You have to remember that Obama is the president of the PLO - the Pathological Liars O-nonymous!
LOL!
In an ideal sense, it’s not like it really matters anyway. Whether or not ISIS is really “Islamic” or they’re just “hijacking” Islam for other ends is irrelevant from a political perspective. It’s their actions, not their beliefs, that really matter, and that’s what needs to be addressed.
Now, that does mean, from a political sense, that it is prudent to say things like “we aren’t at war with Islam, but rather against group X because of actions Y and Z” if for no other reason than to contain the focus of your activities to the matter at hand and not invite the opportunity to be drawn into a wide-ranging, multi-front conflict. You also want to place pressure on those organizations that would normally align with your target into allowing the target to be isolated. So, there’s value there.
But playing armchair theologian is dumb. Telling people that you know their beliefs better than they do is condescending and counter-productive. Especially when it’s an obvious like like “The Islamic State is not Islamic” (or, in Obama’s case, “my fellow Americans”).
A much better statement would be something like, “when we oppose the group that calls itself the ‘Islamic State’, it is just that: opposition to a group. It is not a conflict with an entire religion, and we call on those who believe Islam to be a peaceful and tolerant religion to stand with us and deny any aid or support to these murderous thugs.” It’s politic and allows self-styled “moderate” Muslims to save face by giving them the “peaceful and tolerant” hook as an excuse to distance themselves from IS.
He isn’t delusional. He is Muslim and that’s trumps everything else.
Too bad not enough of any who might care (which admittedly could be none of them) didn’t realize it sooner than that, like when he said to George Stephanopoulos in his first White House campaign “my Muslim Faith”, and Georgie-boy helpfully corrected him to recall that he meant “my Christian faith”.
The speech was nuts.
As far as Syria: Who's the enemy?? Why is Assad silent?
And I'm pissed because he said HE was responsible for getting rid of Syria's WMD.
BS....The whole speech was BS.
Well bammy, those fun guys and gals in ISIS/ISIL whatever you want to call them... (and bammy, don't think we haven't noticed you call them ISIL, giving them greater domain than the ISIS moniker) As I was saying bammy - they sure think they represent Islam. Apparently a whole lot of other Muslims not directly participating in ISIS' barbarism nevertheless seem to think ISIS represent Islam and are doing allah's work...
So here's the cold hard truth bammy, and I know this is going to come as a shock, the world does not in fact revolve around you. It doesn't matter what you think, believe, or lie about. The ISIS Muslim barbarians are going to go right on killing. Islam has made it pretty clear over the last 13 years. The only way to stop the killing is to kill them first. Sad? Yes. Brutal? Yes. But all those idiotic "Coexist" bumper stickers you see? Fantasy. Islam has demonstrated plainly, loudly, and bloodily that there is no coexistence with it.
Personally I will never trust a Muslim. Ever. There is absolutely nothing they could do or say, individually or as a group, to ever regain my trust. That's what 9/11 and 13 years of blood have taught me.
Well,...... no.
Reading lacking understanding creates problems. Do you have rattle snakes in your Sunday Services? Apparently it’s in the book.
Do Baptists kill people for leaving their faith? No.
Do Baptists teach people to kill infidels? No.
Do Baptists 'Honor Kill' their children when they do not date properly? No. So are they Baptists?
I don't think so!
Perhaps you should read up on the Mormon persecutions of old and right here
The Catholic Archdiocese of New York is not Catholic!
That's Mormonism, not Christianity.
Obama: “ISIL Is Not Islamic”
Isaiah 5:20
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
“ISIL is not Islamic. Not even a smidgen.”
I trust the Mullahs and Imams to tell me if ISIS is Islamic, and so far they all say that’s the case.
Not sure how the president thinks otherwise...and considering that claims to NOT be a Muslim, I don’t see how he could comment either way.
Spoken like the enemy islamist he is.
Utter bull$#!+ and rubbish. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has a PhD in Islamic Studies, do you? Does Obama? To compare ISIS, (which is following the Koran, Hadith and Sunna to the letter, as devout Muslims across the Ummah have done for 1,400 years), to Christian "snake handlers" reveals your ignorance.
Nope. They believe they will get 72 virgins each if they kill Infidels in Jihad.
No, the way to stop the Jihadist is to wrap them in pork and hang them and any one slain in Jihad is bury them wrapped the same way.
In their eyes this prevents them from entering heaven and leaves them in ...
I would argue that to extrapolate the radical views of those you noted to all of Islam is illustrative of true ignorance.
