Obama: Islamic State 'is not Islamic'
WND ^ | September 11,2014 | Chelsea Schilling

Posted on 09/11/2014 6:06:14 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

In his prime-time speech to the nation on the eve of the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, President Obama vowed to “degrade and destroy” the Islamic State insurgency in Iraq and Syria with airstrikes and 475 U.S. boots on the ground – but he also made a particular point of declaring that the Islamic State terrorists “are not Islamic.”

“Now let’s make two things clear: ISIL is not Islamic,” Obama said, speaking from the state floor of the White House residence. “No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL’s victims have been Muslim.”

He added, “And ISIL is certainly not a state. It was formerly al-Qaida’s affiliate in Iraq, and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and Syria’s civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border. It is recognized by no government, nor the people it subjugates. ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple. And it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.”

Obama said the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, poses a threat to Iraq, Syria and the broader Middle East – including American citizens, personnel and facilities.

“No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL’s victims have been Muslim.”

Let's break this down. He said that no religion condones the killing of innocents, and that the vast majority of ISIL's victims have been Muslim. I have said all along that if you press a muslim on the "killing of innocents" phrase, you will find that only Muslims are considered innocent, even if they are combatants.

The Narcissist in Chief believes he has the almighty power to change facts. By unilaterally declaring them non-Muslim, he now has free reign to bomb them and not be accused of attacking Islam.

“It sure seemed Islamic to us” — the spirits of thousands of men, women, and children butchered by ISIS.

Take Islam out of Isis and there would be no need for air strikes! Islam is the entire reason for their actions!

And Obama will screw this up royally.

So the resident again lectures the world on what real islam is and isn’t.

Bush basically said the same thing.

What an anti-Free-America poofer. I bet this peace-prize moron will get many more Americans in the military killed through his “wars”. What is the total number of Americans killed under his “peace” so far?

Again we are subjected to stupid stunts like - it depends on what the definition of IS is. The whole world knows these are ISLAMIC terrorists. the fact he doesn’t even know his enemy indicates Obama is not capable of telling the truth. Even a socialist / liberal should be opposed to islamist terrorists.

“Now let’s make two things clear: ISIL is not Islamic,”

Well Mr. Obama, there is an ever increasing body of people in the Middle East who are embracing this version of "non Islam" Islam, and the speech you gave doesn't give very many of us any confidence that you know what the hell you are doing in dealing with it.

"“No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL’s victims have been Muslim.” "

Apparently hasn't read the Koran, and doesn't know the murderous 1400 year history of islam in the world.

He has a long and consistent pattern of giving a speech and then walking away from the problem (and heading straight to the golf course).

I wish people would start quoting their “holy” book!

Obama said that NO religion condones violence. This is not true. Islam’s “holy” book ORDERS violence.

It matters not whether some muslims endorse or condone violence or not, if their instruction manual, the quran, tells them to kill, then it is a violent religion, as opposed to what they’re trying to pawn off on us.

Whats really amazing is in light of what has happened each time in areas where we've armed 'moderate muslim' rebel groups that is still Obama's go-to strategy in Syria.

Its hard to argue that he isn't one of them.

ISIS/ISIL is a fundamentalist Islamic State. In fact, they follow the Koran word for word. No substitutions or detractions. Why did Obama lie to the American People? Don’t know, don’t care. But he lied

“No religion condones the killing of innocents,...”

Just a little parsing of words...wonder who is considered ‘innocent’.

“...and the vast majority of ISIL’s victims have been Muslim”

So if a fundamentalist muslim kills another muslim for not being fundamentalist enough - that proves something?

Yet the Koran for example does teach it is alright for a husband to BEAT their wives: Koran 4:34.

This is just taqqiya. He knows full well that the idea of a world caliphate is the goal of islam and that ISIS/ISIL is doing nothing at odds with the clearly expressed goals of islam.

Why does he choose to refer to them as ISIL and not ISIS?

I believe we’ve discovered a “tell” here!
According to Islam, the infidel is NOT INNOCENT.
He refers to the killing of innocents, then condemns the killing of Muslims.
