WASHINGTON President Obama defended his administrations 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 doesnt 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.
Obamas 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."

The Islamist in chief is speaking right now. This is his big plan.......
“Let’s share the truths of our faiths with each other, terrorists pray on young and impressionable minds, so let’s bring our youth together to promote understanding and cooperation. That’s what the US do with our VIRTUAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM named after AMBASSADOR CHRIS STEVENS. To connect one million young people from America, Middle East, and North Africa for dialogue. Young people are taught to hate, it doesn’t come naturally to them, we adults teach them.” (He knows this from his childhood for sure)
So now we are going to send our young people into the ISLAMIC terrorist nests, to be further indoctrinated in Islam.
Rove following Obama on Fox, repeating and praising Obama’s talking points. Anyone see the problem here?
He is like a child who is now being stubborn and instead of taking the country and other peoples lives into consideration he is taking the sides of islam.
Saying that I am still waiting for the media to ask why did he write that,” when the political winds shift he will side with islam”
It’s perfectly clear that he has no live for Jews or Christians and thinks this is a local community issue instead of a war.
Just because he states the war is over in Afghanistan and just because he states we are not in war with muslims then that does not mean we are not as they want and are waging war with us.
WAKE THE HELL UP MEDIA AND OBAMA.
They’re afraid of him and his “justice” department.
he has written that when the political winds shift he will side with Muslims.
Actual quote from “The Audacity of Hope” [pg. 261]:
Thanks for a good laugh.
He is saying extremist’s and I saw today much of the media is just repeating his talking points.
Who ever thinks we have a fair and non biased media needs to seek mental help right now.
EVERYONE.
But there has been only docile enabling in the EXEMPT
Congress because the EXEMPT love money, rape, beheading
and the Enemy more than the Constitution they swore
to protect, and the People who elected them.
I just think they look at Obama as a God or a messiah. They are obviously in love with him even if he has gone around them and lied to them.
The media reminds me of battered woman syndrome.
“standing by claims that groups like the Islamic State do not represent Islam — as well as assertions that job creation could help combat extremism.”
Groups like ISIS are Islam. Plus how many pyrotechnic jobs are there?
resentments fester He’s proved that for the last six years.
We are supposed to address THEIR grievances. Discard our own as ours mean nothing. Focus on THEIR grievances, and become totally entrenched in THEM.
A manipulation of our society to force us into Islamic perspective, and make us Muslim.
It was too easy. ;-)
Going along with your statement—did you read where some imam was insisting that the sun travels around the earth. These people are stuck in a cave dweller mentality forget the Middle Ages.
Obama is a fool.
Bump
Not Chicken Little, we got Chicken Shitite, but take off the last ite and that is what we got!
