After consulting with military leaders at the Pentagon this afternoon President Obama held a press conference on the growing threat of ISIS. President Obama declared the United States "will never be at war with Islam." Obama also said, "ideologies are not defeated with guns but better ideas."
"We'll constantly reaffirm through words and deeds that we will never be at war with Islam," President Obama said Monday afternoon. "We are fighting terrorists who distort islam and its victims are mostly Muslims."
"This challenge of countering violent extremism is not simply a military effort," the president said. "Ideologies are not defeated with guns but better ideas and more attracting and more compelling vision."
PRESIDENT OBAMA: This broader challenge of countering violent extremism is not simply a military effort. Ideologies are not defeated with guns, they are defeated by better ideas and more attractive and more compelling vision. So the United States will continue to do our part by continuing to counter ISIL's hateful propaganda, especially online. We'll constantly reaffirm through words and deeds that we will never be at war with Islam. We are fighting terrorists who distort islam and its victims are mostly Muslims.
We're also going to partner with Muslim communities as they seek the prosperity and dignity they observe. And we're going to expect those communities to step up in terms of pushing back as hard as they can in conjunction with other people of good will against these hateful ideologies, particularly when it comes to what we're teaching young people.

The first words out of the mouths of every single republican pol for the last several yeas in interviewsshould have been
“Let me first say that President Obama is a clear and present danger to the national security of this country and until he is impeached and removed, no legislation shall move through Republican hands of any kind. If you want government to work, help us remove him from office”. Then walk away.
Such statements illustrate total ignorance of the basic conflict between faith and reason. Fundamental Islamic believers reject the influence of Western Philosophy and the role of logic.
Interesting how the Leftist denigrate Christian Fundamentalists but think they can reason with Muslim Fundamentalists.
Horrendously bad as this is, the fact the CIC gets away with this kind of nonsensical, self-destructive talk is worse.

...Obama on ISIS Threat: “Ideologies Are Not Defeated With Guns, They Are Defeated By Better Ideas”...
Consider these world takeover ideolgy endings...
Nazi German ideolgy
Fascist Italian ideology
Imperial Japanese ideolgy
The better ideas were better, heavier weaponry.
Maybe the better idea is a better idea like the two used against Japan?
yes, O, and believe it or not there’s much better ideas than Islam!
And napalm. Don’t forget the napalm.
******
OK. Mr. President: I suddenly have a "better ideas": I say we send troops with a lot of guns and tanks to wipe ISIS from the face of the earth.
Mr. President, What do you think about that idea? Pretty good isn't it?
I'm sorry that I came up with the idea before you had a chance to do so. Sorry.
If you ever need to talk to someone about ideas on how to fight ISIS, please call me. I have a bunch of ideas, and your speech motivated me to come up with more ideas, ideas that your staff, as you know, doesn't have have the mental skills to come up with.
Good luck. Have a nice day.
Never is a long time.
And when someone is flying a plane into a building and shouting allah akbar we should counter with, “WAIT! I have a better idea!”
Specializing in vacuous soundbites since 2008.
Maybe what he means is he prefers drones?
Stupid indeed.ISIS has said they want Obama’s head on a platter.
The man’s too stupid to act in his own best interest.
Ouch !
We have to have a voting thing on some of these stories. That has to be the most inane statement outside that of Hillary who said basically the same thing.
Tell that to the Nazi’s.
Then maybe Mr. Obama, you should jump on Air Force One and go confront ISIS’s guns with your ideas and show us how it works.
Yes, we will be in a war with Islam. and it'll be BECAUSE of oboma. He's been resurrecting the Islamic state ever since he was allowed in the White House (big mistake).
Oboma has a Messiah complex. He thinks if he smiles and waves his hand, the entire world will get down on it's knees and worship him.
It doesn't work that way. It's all in his twisted, Narcissistic head.
He's thinks he a brilliant leader, but has done more harm to the world in 7 years than any war has ever done. Because of obomas lack of leadership and knowledge, the next war being created by him now will be the last. His ignorance will have destroyed everything.
Maybe oboma has such a hate for all mankind on his shoulder this is his plan and he's pulling it off. That doesn't make him smart. It makes him either careless with his hate or a cold blooded murderer.
If it wasn’t for bad ideas, Obama wouldn’t have any ideas at all.
Don’t forget communism.
Response: that might be true but millions had to die before we won the minds. Those who were still alive that is.
Not if they're working together.
In the end, if they are, I'd just like to bring up the point that oboma has daughters that would make their seller a very rich muslim.
