WASHINGTON – President Obama defended his administration’s approach to the terror threat at a White House summit Wednesday, standing by claims that groups like the Islamic State do not represent Islam -- as well as assertions that job creation could help combat extremism.
Obama, addressing the Washington audience on the second day of the summit, said the international community needs to address “grievances” that terrorists exploit, including economic and political issues.
He stressed that poverty alone doesn’t cause terrorism, but “resentments fester” and extremism grows when millions of people are impoverished.
“We do have to address the grievances that terrorists exploit including economic grievances,” he said.
He also said no single religion was responsible for violence and terrorism, adding he wants to lift up the voice of tolerance in the United States and beyond.
Obama’s address came as Republican lawmakers and others criticized the administration for declining to describe the threat as Islamic terrorism.
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf has also come under fire for suggesting several times this past week that more jobs could help address the terrorism crisis.
On Tuesday, Rob O'Neill, former Navy SEAL Team 6 member who claims to have fired the shot that killed Usama bin Laden, told Fox News: "They get paid to cut off heads -- to crucify children, to sell slaves and to cut off heads and I don't think that a change in career path is what's going to stop them."

Get rid of Obamacare?
If the KKK were killing this many people in America, how would Obama respond? By saying we need to understand their grievances? Would he call for Tolerance?
Obama making his case that Christians are the ‘real threat’ and should be exterminated.
Grievance politics is all he knows.
***********
Yep, he explains every problem in the context of a grievance against some perceived wrong. The most frequently used tactic in his playbook is to set up a straw man argument that he uses to play the blame game. He does it virtually every time. His tactics are very predictable.
My guess...."Executive Order" right after Martial Law.
"A website called Now The End Begins has compiled 40 comments by Barack Obama on Christianity and Islam. Collectively, they create quite an interesting picture. I admit that there may be instances of the president speaking as favorably of Christianity as he does of Islam, but I am not aware of them. I do remember in the 2008 campaign that he said he had accepted Jesus Christ as his savior, and that was in response to public awareness of his attendance at Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church, Trinity United. What the president left unsaid is the nature of Jesus as understood in Black Liberation Theology. But that is a discussion for another time......
1. “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam”
2. “The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer”
3. “We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country.”
4. “As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.”
5. “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”
6. “Islam has always been part of America”
7. “we will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities”
8. “These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.”
9. “America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”
10. “I made it clear that America is not – and will never be – at war with Islam.”
11. “Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism – it is an important part of promoting peace.”

I just can't think of a more accurate way to describe the SOB.

It’s very clear he is one of them and has the same grievances.
divide and conquer is his M.O.
Nice graphic, Mikey.
When I watch Obola, I suppport my head with only finger.
If isis does not represent islam then how did mohamhead?
He would never suggest addressing the concerns of 'right wing christian extremists'.
ISIS is conducting a replay of the jihad of conquest in the middle east from the 7th century.
I believe that their aim is to reconquer the middle east and put it under their strict version of islamic law because they believe that the islamic rule instigated by Mohammed has become irreversibly corrupted. They are working on a rebuild.
After they have accomplished those aims, the goal becomes revisiting the conquest of eastern and western Europe which ultimately failed over many centuries.
They want to reaccomplish the original goals of their worthless prophet and do it the “right way” this time.
They are islam, they are dedicated, they need to be forcibly crushed into dust without regard to collateral damage.
I have a better idea. How about we keep killing terrorists until they address their grievances in a peaceful manner?
