President Barack Obama said an Easter prayer breakfast at the White House on Wednesday took on new meaning following a pair of “horrific acts of terrorism” that killed scores of people in the capital of Belgium and in one of Pakistan's largest cities.
Obama said the terrorists want to “weaken our faith” and cause people to retaliate against those who look or pray differently. He counseled against succumbing to those particular temptations. […]
“These attacks can foment fear and division. They can tempt us to cast out the stranger. Strike out against those who don’t look like us, or don’t pray exactly like we do. And they can lead us to turn our backs on those who are most in need of help and refuge,” Obama said. …

Oh, so you haven’t turned your back on those Christians “who are most in need of help and refuge”, Mr. Obama?

Continues to lecture Americans and tries to convince us that the real victims are those that look and pray different than traditional Americans. Has he even mentioned the scores of people KILLED by these evil doers?

There more people want you to shut up, Obama, the more you talk. You just don't know when to quit, do you?

What a dumb ignorant ars this fool is. It would be impossible for most of America to realize that much of the killing by ISIS was directly caused by King Obama when he withdrew from Iraq. And add to that no real putting ISIS out of business by killing them where they breed.

‘Weaken our faith’?
Faith in what? Certainly not in the true magnanimity of America, who welcomes the genuinely persecuted, as opposed to simply throwing open the doors and embracing any random crowd of thugs and brigands.
Altruism is not a suicide pact.

....cause people to retaliate against those who...pray differently.... Barry is not only tone deaf but completely out of touch. I don't give a rat's butt "how someone prays", but what I do object to are the folks that scream "allyoop FUBAR", and blow themselves up with the promise of 40 virgins in paradise. That's the kind of prayer I object to - and the Mohammedan prayers made prior to raping a sex slave - I don't like that either. So maybe Barry is right in a wrong way.

Once again. it’s Americans’ fault for being intolerant, xenophobic Islamaphobes.
And as usual, Obama can take his, “That’s not who we are ... “ and shove it.

296 days and counting. Assuming he does not institute martial law over some pretext.
