President Obama offered an extended defense of his approach to countering violent extremism on Wednesday, saying those who have criticized his administration's reluctance to single out the threat specifically posed by Muslim extremists are in danger of offering extremists the kind of legitimacy they crave.
"Al Qaeda, ISIL, and groups like it, are desperate for legitimacy," he said. "We must never accept the premise that they put forward, because it is a lie. Nor should we grand these terrorists the religious legitimacy that they seek. They are not religious leaders, they are terrorists.
"We are not at war with Islam," he added. "We are at war with people who have perverted Islam."

Yep. Best gun salesman and best Islamic apologist.
A variation on the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.
Yeah, Obama is a first class fool.
Obama: Don’t grant terrorists legitimacy by labeling them Islamic
Six years of calling him president has in no way given comrade obama legitimacy.
desperate for legitimacy?
I like how IS is so crippled with self doubt that it is taking over the Middle East and Northern Africa. No, if anyone is desperate for legitimacy, it’s Obama.
And with this the White House writers surely have secured a spot at SNL after they finish their current gig. Brother.
The Islamic State is not Islamic. Boko Haram is not Islamic. Why, the assaholahs who run Iran aren’t Islamic either.
And just what religion is he referring to???
"We are summoned to push back against those who would distort our religion for their nihilistic ends," Obama said at the National Prayer Breakfast.
Another slip of the lip. Another reference (one of many) that Obama is muslim.
Don’t grant Muhammad legitimacy by calling him Islamic.
You do understand that Obama is both the Caliph and the Twelfth Imam, don’t you? (You don’t? He does.)
Where will the fraud in the WH run to once he can no longer count on his ability to deceive?
No, he worships himself.
Bammy is an Islamic Scholar and needs to release his Madrassa grades.
A non vested observer would conclude after witnessing Obama’s rhetorical contortions and rationalizations that the man is delusional. These Muslim jihadists make no secret that they are inspired by the Koran which they quote freely and until very recently have received almost no theological criticism from Islamic scholars or clerics. Obama should also realize that either his beloved Islamic culture evolves or this confrontation with modernity will not end well for it.
“Al Qaeda, ISIL, and groups like it, are desperate for legitimacy,” he said.

Funny how he didn’t add in how the Muslim Brotherhood is desperate for legitimacy.
Or maybe not anymore, since they had the whole White House at their disposal as they bleeped over Egypt and Libya.
“We are not at war with Islam,” he added. “We are at war with people who have perverted Islam.”
Yeah, right! I’ll believe that Obama. Just like I believe I can keep my doctor.
His Imam burned his grades. He was never so embarrassed by one of his students.
President Taqiya in full obfuscation mode.
He’s obviously a better Islamic Scholar than Constitutional Scholar.....
