The New York Post mocks Obama's take on 'Islamic' terrorism

New York City's most outspoken tabloid is not a fan of President Barack Obama's reluctance to call terrorists "Muslim" or "Islamic."

The front page of Thursday's New York Post features Obama blindfolded with the headline, "Islamic terror? I just don't see it."

People from both sides of every aisle imaginable are criticizing his speech and his semantics. The more he sidesteps, the more questionable his beliefs look. Even to a casual observer.

I hate this President. That speaks volumes. As the son of a Veteran, I was always taught to respect the office. I strongly disliked Clinton, but I didn't hate him. This is the worst President we will ever see and he is killing us.

All because he can give a good speech and because he's half black.

It’s like he’s stalling.

And that is terrifying.

Sounded more like he was proselytizing. Wonder how many he converted.

Check out this article in Atlantic Mag.

They are leftists and interestingly spend a lot of time Jeb Bush bashing. They just can’t stand him being as much like them as he is...

Their recent take on ISIS:

I guess Obama didn’t read it, or if he did, what difference does it make?

Obama is a war monger, he likes when islam is not stopped from starting wars, heck, he even encourages Russia.

Much like the German population in the 30s, the country is ignoring the obvious. But, it seems that every now and then the media is starting to break ranks in order to try to save a smidgeon of their prestige (if any is left) or in order to fake credibility for some election cycle advantage coming up.

I heard part of Obama's speech while driving yesterday. The HUGE irony that people commenting on him are missing is the part where he went into a long and painful apology for Islam while trying to explain that bad people will be bad people and because they use Islam as their tool we should not fault Islam and we should realize that it is only the people who are responsible for their actions.

If you substitute 'guns' for Islam, his comments could have been a perfect buzz kill for the gun control lobby.

He himself made it perfectly clear before he was ever elected the first time to the White House, in his saying about standing with Muslims if the winds should blow against them or words to that effect. It was one of the few times he wasn’t lying. It’s not coincidental that almost every time he’s ever spoken the truth, it was reassurances to Muslims. Taqqiya is only for the infidel.

Agreed

[TangledUpInBlue]

I’ll check it out.

I didn’t hate Clinton, either. I still don’t. I dislike him but the hate I feel for Obama I have never felt for another human being in my life.

I don’t even think he’s a good speaker. His only claim to fame is the half-black bit, although he seems to have forgotten the white half entirely. He has cemented his position and defended himself by surrounding himself with people like Al Sharpton - and, of course, a bunch of Muslims. And for some reason, the media would collectively rather die than criticize black racists like Sharpton or Muslims “activists” like the ones who have virtually taken up residence in the WH. In any case, the press is now part of the entertainment industry, and are woo busy worrying about promoting the latest sexual perversion to get into politics.

Obama is guaranteeing his support by appointing Muslims to every position that he can - heck, the new head of DHS communications division is going to be a Muslim - with ties to the MB.

But since Obama has proclaimed the US to be “a Muslim country,” I guess we should be good with that. In any case, with his new accelerated Muslim immigration program, their numbers are going to soar so maybe he’s insuring it.

What I don’t understand is why more people in Congress aren’t standing up on their hind legs and challenging him.

I feel as if the country is being taken away from Americans and handed over to Third World Muslims and their culture - and we have no leadership to tell us how to resist.

[NormsRevenge]

Well, looky who climbed out of the WH closet.

“...but the hate I feel for Obama I have never felt for another human being in my life.”

Agreed. It makes me feel like I suffer from ‘Bush Derangement Syndrome’ that we had to deal with for 8 long years, or the crazies that hate Sarah P., but 0bama is so obviously AGAINST all that America stands for, it’s amazing to me that everyone can’t see it!

[who knows what evil?]

One of the BEST front pages on a newspaper in ages...

Either they are that blind and stupid not to see it (and keep in mind they still vote) OR they feel as he does about America and secretly applaud every time he brings America down another notch.

Precisely. Tom Clancy actually uses it in one of his novels.

The best paragraph from The Atlantic article-—

“The reality is that the Islamic State is Islamic. Very Islamic. Yes, it has attracted psychopaths and adventure seekers, drawn largely from the disaffected populations of the Middle East and Europe. But the religion preached by its most ardent followers derives from coherent and even learned interpretations of Islam.”

That says it all.

I think we agree. The problem is that he can’t trade in what little credibility he has left with the True Beleivers for to give him another two years. There is just not that much credibility left.

So what clock is he looking at? He’s acting like this only needs to go on another month or two and then it won’t matter.
