According to experts, the fundamentalist jihadists who carry out murderous attacks are Muslims whose beliefs are rooted partly in longstanding Islamic teachings.
ROME - President Barack Obama refrained from describing Nov. 13's Paris attacks as "Islamic terrorism" or even radical Islamic terrorism, continuing his policy of distancing such atrocities from the religion.
But that nonetheless leaves open the question: How Islamic are Islamic terrorists?
To equate the attacks with "views of Islam" creates "stereotypes" that are "counterproductive" and "wrong," Obama told reporters at the G20 Summit in Antalya, Turkey, Nov. 16. "They will lead, I think, to greater recruitment into terrorist organizations over time, if this becomes somehow defined as a Muslim problem as opposed to a terrorist problem."
The Nov. 13 coordinated terrorist attacks of mass shootings, suicide bombings and hostage-taking were the deadliest in France since World War II, costing 129 lives and leaving at least 80 critically injured. The Islamic State group (ISIS), a fundamentalist jihadist group that emerged from the Sunni vs. Shiite conflicts in Iraq and Syria, claimed responsibility for the atrocity. Following the attacks, eight of the attackers were dead - seven of them from suicide explosions and one killed by security forces in the music venue.
President Obama, like President George W. Bush before him, has long been reluctant to tie a "true Islam" to such attacks. Many Muslims also try to distance themselves from any linkage of their religion to violence, asserting that such claims are false and expose "moderate Muslims" to potential reprisals or victimization.

ISIS has become the shock troops for the Islamic ideology, much like the Waffen-SS were the shock troops for National Socialist German Workingmen’s Party of Germany, during the Second World War.
Ruthless brutality, scorched earth policy of areas of conquest, and fanatical determination in the face of certain death, even the Japanese kamikaze suicide pilots that were the scourge of the US Pacific fleet in the last part of that war, were not more damaging to the perceived enemy, the whole of Western civilization, than the bearded men with the burning eyes, who live beyond the realm of reason.
Excess for the sheer unholy glee at pursuing excess. For the apologists for the Worldwide Caliphate, the thrill of watching the deathmatch struggle of ISIS remains the major attraction for their support.
A cancer upon the human race. These enthusiasts of doom and destruction are cheering FOR the malign tumor that is Islam, and is growing in the world. If the objective is decimation of the entire human race, this seems a rather inefficient way of attaining it. The Second World War, with its emphasis on the widespread annihilation of the civilian population, succeeded in only a very small way in reducing the overall human population of the planet, and that for only a very short period.
Now that we need you to contain the Muslim explosion upon the world, Genghis Khan, where are you?
Mohammed was a terrorist. Wasn’t he Islamic?
You spelled pedophile wrong.
The head of ISIS has a PhD in Islamic Studies from the Islamic University in Baghdad.
Bump!
I'm paraphrasing this, but he said: "Once the bus gets to their stop, they just get off ... and the bus doesn't mean anything to them anymore."
The attacks in Paris on one day last week involved fewer deaths than the average daily carnage in abortion clinics right here in the U.S.
There's a reason why radical Islam will ultimately win this battle. Only one side is taking casualties, and most of those casualties are self-inflicted.
Obama gave Osama Bin Laden a respectful Islamic funeral (at taxpayer expense) so as not to p!ss off Islamic terrorists.
Now why is that if Osama and the other terrorists aren’t really Islamic?
Islam is an all encompassing political system. It is not open to democracy. It is exclusionary theocratic. If you want to see segregation in the world today, look at the Islamist countries.
Since 9-11, museums have bent over backward to praise and exhibit muslim/Islamic art. Oh, sooo ornate. They were prohibited from having figurative and representative art works.
Censorship was once thought to be a BAD thing.
If rogue Catholics set up a a self-proclaimed “Catholic State” somewhere, and proceeded to rape, behead and mass-murder everybody who disagreed, millions of good Catholics from all over the world would rise up, take arms, go there and destroy them.
Muslim passivity toward the Islamic State damns them by their silence.
After Paris, an anti-terrorism rally by Muslims drew THIRTY participants. Compared to thousands who protested against cartoons of Mohammed.
True in most cases. In Malaysia they have a benign despot, the king, with some control over the structure of the government. The rest is democratically elected. The Islamists are always trying to grab more power but have not succeeded so far.

A typical suicidal terrorist is often driven by a belief that they have been a sinner earlier and the only way to go to Paradise is to be martyred (= killed for Allah) “

They are exactly like the original Moohamhead led Muslims, just with smart phones and guns.
Important point about “Enlightenment thinking.” It’s also what Barry and his ilk engage in and why his policies are so badly flawed. Frankly, much that is wrong in the world harks back to it.
