Obama Calls Magazine Murders a 'Terrorist Act'
Weekly Standard ^ | January 7, 2015 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 01/07/2015 7:32:00 AM PST by COUNTrecount

President Obama's statement on the terror attack in France:

"I strongly condemn the horrific shooting at the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris that has reportedly killed 12 people. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this terrorist attack and the people of France at this difficult time. France is America’s oldest ally, and has stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States in the fight against terrorists who threaten our shared security and the world. Time and again, the French people have stood up for the universal values that generations of our people have defended. France, and the great city of Paris where this outrageous attack took place, offer the world a timeless example that will endure well beyond the hateful vision of these killers. We are in touch with French officials and I have directed my Administration to provide any assistance needed to help bring these terrorists to justice."

Earlier, White House press secretary Josh Earnest was unsure the attack was "terrorism."

Great.

But according to him, Islam is a religion of peace and Gitmo needs to be emptied.

Nothing.

Josh Earnest will say that it was just two old Jews belching after eating a few knishes.

Think of this.....John Kerry just gave a statement, defending Charlie Hebdo’s freedom of expression, no matter what one’s beliefs may be, blah, blah, blah. Let’s dial it back to Benghazi, the same administration condemns a video which caused the death of four Americans and will be looking for justice against the video producer.

Liberals want to sanction those who do not accept their theory of human-cased climate change as “deniers”, even suggesting that such people should be thrown in jail.

But speaking of being in denial, how many bodies have to pile up before they will acknowledge that Islam is at war with the west? I guess we have moved a notch towards that painful moment. After all, the jihadist murders at Ft. Hood are still “workplace violence”.

Post #48 Toespi makes a brilliant point. I wonder how long, or if ever, we will hear the over paid media talking heads make such a relevant comparison.

Obama has been busy releasing terrorists. Every terrorist act now belongs to the Democrat Party.

Good point. This is just the latest in 1400 years of Muslim savagery. The difference now from 200-300 years ago is that the West no longer resists the broader Jihad, but just reacts to individual events.
