WASHINGTON — President Obama on Thursday called on nations around the world to expand human rights, religious tolerance and peaceful dialogue as they struggle to combat a spate of terrorism that has recently struck places as far afield as Australia, Canada and Europe.

In an address to world leaders on the final day of his summit on violent extremism, Mr. Obama said that poverty and political grievances fuel alienation that can lead to bursts of killing like those seen in Paris, Copenhagen, Sydney and Ottawa. In addition to building up security forces, he said nations must “put an end to the cycle of hate” through opportunity and freedom.

Muslim brotherhood/isis term.

Human rights in islam do not mean what the media and obamas followers thinks it means.

Islam doesn’t believe in human rights or democracy.

It believes in submission.

Leave it up to Obama to controvert the facts.

Obama means everyone should expand human rights unless there is some of utopia reason associated with how rights are granted to certain folks in certain demographics and cultures.

In other words, by sceptic for Muslims.

keeping the rest of the f'ing idiots placated

I personally believe it's a waiting game ... down to a little less than two years that, though we want to think we have a(n) (quasi-) effecive Congress ... I'm afraid the democrats are sitting quietly (face it ... they really aren't noisy) waiting for some October surprise kind of thing

I donj't know what ... but American politics doesn't seem to be very polarized nor aggressive right now ... lull before the strorm ?

Unless and untill Congress exhibits the conflict of war we ARE experiencing ... the war on our children's minds via the NEA and the complicit teacher's unions and media ... it's all conversation on FOX's couch ...

"Mr. Obama said that poverty and political grievances fuel alienation that can lead to bursts of killing like those seen in Paris, Copenhagen, Sydney and Ottawa."

Yet nobody has ever produced a shred of evidence to support this spurrious proposition. It's nonsense. I don't recall people going crucifying children and burning people alive in response to the Great Depression.

“political grievances”

Their religion is their politics. Their political grievances are us not being muslim. Obama just tipped his hat to isis. they know this, Obama knows this, but the media and obamabots have no clue what was just said.
