“Obama’s Jihad Denial Summit: ‘We Are Not At War with Islam,’” Pamela Geller, Breitbart, February 20, 2015:
Story continues below advertisementThe one big takeaway from Obama’s speech on the Muslim world’s “legitimate” grievances with the West is simply this. He is on their side.
Obama has made us weak, vulnerable and ripe for attack. The next two years will be brutal.
Obama’s closing remarks at his absurdly titled “Countering Violent Extremism” summit put his denial and obfuscation of the truth once again on display. It’s jihad — just say it. His speech wasn’t about countering Islamic terror, it was about countering “Islamophobia” (a thought crushing device designed to silence criticism of Islam – sharia enforcement).
Obama can insist that these jihadists are not Islamic all he likes. But they believe they are. They believe they are righteous and devout Muslims, and that’s all that matters, not what Obama wants us to believe they are.
Obama readily criticized Christianity recently – having to go all the way back to the Crusades to do so. But for him, Islam is off limits. For both Islamic supremacists and Obama, Islam is above criticism – at a time when killers motivated by its teachings are wreaking havoc around the globe.
His big idea for fighting against violent extremism? “As part of this summit, we’re announcing that we’re going to increase our outreach to communities, including Muslim Americans. We’re going to step up our efforts to engage with partners and raise awareness so more communities understand how to protect their loved ones from becoming radicalized. We’ve got to devote more resources to these efforts.”
He has created a Counter-Terrorism Messaging center headed up by Rashad Hussain, a hafiz (a devout Muslim who has memorized the Quran). Obama is going to out-tweet the enemy with a Muslim Brotherhood supporter at the helm.
And “outreach” is not going to end the jihad. It is just a device, a distraction – the appearance of doing something without actually doing anything. Police and FBI agents go to a mosque and have a chat with the imam. They don’t investigate. Then they go away, and all that comes of it is that the imam knows he is dealing with weak people who are more interested in making sure he likes them than in stopping jihad.
And Obama talks about a shooting in North Carolina as if it were a war on Muslims, when the ongoing investigation seems to point to a mere parking dispute.
Obama vows to “confront squarely and honestly the twisted ideologies that these terrorist groups use to incite people to violence,” but Islam is off limits, so how can he confront it squarely and honestly? More lies.
Obama goes on to say that we shouldn’t “grant these terrorists the religious legitimacy that they seek. They are not religious leaders — they’re terrorists. And we are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam.” Who is talking to? Why is he schooling us and proselytizing to us? If the Islamic State is not Islamic, what is it? They are Muslims and they are fighting for Islam, and no amount of tongue twisting and mental gymnastics is going to change that. Why won’t Obama take them at their word and deed?
Because he is a sympathizer. Because he makes Islam supreme and beyond reproach, just as Muslim supremacists do. Clearly he cares more about the glory of Islam then he does about the gore.
Obama gets twisted up in his own illogical logic. He goes on to say: “Al Qaeda and ISIL and groups like it are desperate for legitimacy. They try to portray themselves as religious leaders — holy warriors in defense of Islam. That’s why ISIL presumes to declare itself the ‘Islamic State.’ And they propagate the notion that America — and the West, generally — is at war with Islam. That’s how they recruit.” But Mr. President, how could they recruit if they get Islam so wrong? How can previously “moderate Muslims” be moved to slaughter, rape, and conquer in the cause of Islam if ISIS, ISIL, al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Hamas, and other mujahadeen have it so wrong?
If anyone is perverted, it is Obama. He is perverting the truth.
Obama said, “They no more represent Islam than any madman who kills innocents in the name of God represents Christianity or Judaism or Buddhism or Hinduism.” Only Muslims claim to kill in the glory of Allah. Christian, Jews, Buddhists or Hindus do not; nor do they conquer nations in the cause of their G-d, as Muslims do.
Obama said, “These religious leaders and scholars preach that Islam calls for peace and for justice, and tolerance toward others; that terrorism is prohibited; that the Koran says whoever kills an innocent, it is as if he has killed all mankind.” More deception. Obama quotes a Jewish Talmudic quote that Muslims appropriated in the Koran. And it is the Jews that the Koran is referring to.
“Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world.” — Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:9; Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin 37a.
Obama is parsing the quote taken from verse 5:32 of the “Holy Koran.” But he is ripping it out of context and perverting its meaning. The full passage in the Koran applies to the “Children of Israel,” not to Muslims. And it’s followed in the Koran by 5:33, which calls for “execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land” for those who “wage war against Allah and his messenger, or spread mischief in the land.”
Obama studied the Quran as a child. Obama just named a hafiz (a devout Muslim who has memorized the whole Quran), Rahad Hussain, to head up his newly created Counter-Terrorism Center.
He knows. They know. He then goes on to explain that Muslims have real grievances: “There’s a strain of thought that doesn’t embrace ISIL’s tactics, doesn’t embrace violence, but does buy into the notion that the Muslim world has suffered historical grievances — sometimes that’s accurate.”
He doesn’t even pretend to support America.
He won’t call it jihad, but he insists that, “We have to tackle them [the ideologies] head on. And we can’t shy away from these discussions.”
Is he for real? That’s the one thing he won’t do.
He claims that Muslims join the jihad because they’re poor: “When millions of people — especially youth — are impoverished and have no hope for the future, when corruption inflicts daily humiliations on people, when there are no outlets by which people can express their concerns, resentments fester. The risk of instability and extremism grow. Where young people have no education, they are more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and radical ideas, because it’s not tested against anything else, they’ve got nothing to weigh. And we’ve seen this across the Middle East and North Africa.”
Here again, Obama attributes jihad to poverty, illiteracy, culture — anything but its true origins. State Department Spokesteenager Marie Harf said yesterday that the Islamic State jihadists just need jobs. She was rightly ridiculed for it. But Obama has now said the same thing.
He added: “Terrorist groups like al Qaeda and ISIL deliberately target their propaganda in the hopes of reaching and brainwashing young Muslims, especially those who may be disillusioned or wrestling with their identity. That’s the truth. The high-quality videos, the online magazines, the use of social media, terrorist Twitter accounts — it’s all designed to target today’s young people online, in cyberspace.”
How does that turn someone into a savage? I am sorry, Mr. President. No amount of slick video and online magazines would move me to betray my country, leave my home and slaughter, maim, rape in the cause of my religion. Mr. President, how did this misunderstanding of Islam become so widespread if it weren’t Islamic? Why are so many more American, British, European, Canadian Muslims joining the Islamic State?
And while Muslims in the US condemn the Islamic State, where are they teaching against the ideology that gave rise to it?
Right now, nothing is being done to stop jihad recruiting in US mosques, even as several hundred young Muslims from the US have gone to wage jihad for the Islamic State.
And his marshmallow summit of “Islamophobia” myths and lies does not address that.

Thanks for this. I’ve taken note of the link. Have a huge amount of time for Ezra and Brian Lilly. For all its shortcomings, the demise of SUN tv was a huge loss in a country that possesses one of the most gutless, spineless and dishonest medias in the Western world. Canadians are poorly served and right now it’s back to fantasy-land in which all is well while the savages of Islam beat on the gate. Reading the likes of Jonathan Kay and Heather Mallick is enough to cause extreme nausea.

Well said Pamela. Unfortunately, unless he is impeached, we will have to bear with a President, who I also believe conducts himself in such a way as to be “anti-American.” Although I hope that the Congress and the Courts can act to protect us from Obama’s acutely outrageous conduct that has the effect in my mind of damaging this country badly, we will all have to live with him, and hopefully the next person to be elected to his job will not be so naïve, lack leadership skills, and be unable to run this country because he was taught early on that our culture is a failure (by his devout Muslim father and socialist leaning mother and his being raised in a Muslim country in his formative years). We all need to be concerned about his latest effort to import from the Middle East Muslim immigrants who cannot be vetted on whether they can assimilate into our great society. Scares the hell out of me. While I recognize that most people of the Muslim faith are not supportive of the conduct of those Muslim terrorists; their silence allows those terrorists to continue their scourge, and I am revolted by their obvious failure to affirmatively be heard and to actually act out against the Islamic terrorists. I would hope that any other people of faith would not remain so silent. To allow the teaching of hate and murder, and to do nothing, is frightening.

Yes, very said Pamela. I have to add that in this article Pamela lays bare what a disgusting liar, distorter of truth, deceiver and purveyor of poor logic this president is. He and his mob must hate her for it. She is utterly scathing and for that I love what she says. On the one hand Dr Ben Carson is right when saying that “some say” Obama is stupid and doesn’t know what he is doing while instead he, Carson, thinks Obama is not so stupid, knows what he is doing and it is working. But the fact is that when one considers Obama’s logic as exposed in this article, he is in fact really quite intellectually limited. Drug use over time and immersing oneself in sickly ideas will have that effect.

You can argue that Obama is pro-Islam but Obama’s not actually that popular in the Muslim world either. The Egyptians hate him for supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, the Syrians hate him for not getting rid of Assad and leaving them on their own, etc. You can only imagine how Libyans feel about him destroying their country. Furthermore, during Obama’s speech at the “anti extremism summit” he pointedly accused the source of terrorism on repressive regimes which deny democratic processes to their people, equality of opportunity for women, i.e., Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc. to an audience which included representatives from those countries. (http://www.voanews.com/content/text-of-obamas-speech-to-anti-extremism-summit/2650640.html) I can imagine what they were thinking about his genius “advice,” while they are sweating about Obama’s deal with Iran. Obama also pissed off American Muslim groups because obviously so much of the summit focused on Islamic terrorism, clearly contradicting their claim that most terrorist attacks in the US aren’t by Muslims.
There’s no clear message except that he really enjoys the power, prestige and attention of being President and that’s what he loves about America.

Outreach to any Muslims is wholly wasted if it fails to result in masses of them declaring their apostasy from Islam. Islam is immutable and commands conquest, at the very least. Aid to “moderates” – at the expense of apostates or counter-Jihadis – amounts to nothing more than the publicly paid advancement of Islam and effective establishment of the same as our government’s official religion.

obama say: “The notion that the West is at war with islam is an ugly lie.”
A man really has to be perfectly possessed to be this facile and fluent a liar.
The deceit that drips from his poison mouth is far too complex, Freudian, counter-intuitive, voluminous, alacritous and laced with implied threats for people to truly fully comprehend the scope of the abuse that they’re being treated to by obama.
No one but the vile muslims ever said we were at war with islam, yo! The 911 Report determined that “We were not at war with islam, but islam was at war with us.”
With this filthy jihad pig posing as our president, that has definitely not changed.

Chris, well said. That Obama is possessed by a great evil is evident. All over Islam’s savagery and barbarism is evident. Decent men and women are outraged and condemn those who conducts themselves with such sadistic evil, but not Barack Obama who, like the silly Pope, tells us the lie that this is not authentic Islam. “The deceit that drips from his poison mouth” is evident. We live in extraordinary times when a man of such low moral character who plots the destruction of his nation and it’s most trusted ally, Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, continues to occupy the office of the President of the U.S. and the opposition remains utterly lead-footed and impotent. This man should be violently removed from office and like Roumania’s Nicolae Ceausescu summarily executed for treason.

Oblabber told the truth when he said “We are not at war with Islam.” One of the few times he has ever told the truth. By that statement he MEANS “We, as in my administration, are not at war with Islam.” That is obviously true as Pamela points out – Oblabber is a supporter of Islam. If he believes in any religion, it is Islam.
Just on a side note – have you ever noticed how he HISSES his S’s? When he says a word ending in the letter s, such as “terrorists”, it comes out “terroristsssss.” He sounds like a snake – he hisses. Why? BECAUSE HE IS A SNAKE, THE SERPENT, AS DESCRIBED IN THE BIBLE – HE’S THE DEVIL!!!!!!!WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!! Listen when he speakssssss to the way he hissesssss. GAWD ALMIGHTY where in the hell is LHO when you need him!

Absolutely right. Why aren’t Muslims willing to stand up against ISIS, al-Qaeda, and other like-minded groups? Why haven’t we seen the Egyptian government, say, conduct airstrikes against ISIS targets in Libya after the murder of 21 of its civilians? Why didn’t the Jordanian government bomb ISIS after one of its pilots was burned alive? When will the Pakistani government conduct military operations against the Taliban in Northwest Pakistan? When will the Indonesian government crack down on Jemaah Islamiyah?
If only we lived in a world where any of these things could happen . . .

His speech is not bad, for a community organizer. To bad no one has told him he is no longer a community organizer and he has moved up to a leader. Supposed to be leader of the free world. Putting on this dhimmitude, with a mouthful of worms, does help spread mischief through the land. Which does appear to be his mission, as Pamala shows with this article.
Good piece. Thanks for the truth!

obama’s collaborators in the media and Democrat Party keep using their only desperate possibility of an explanation why obama won’t say islamic extremism or jihad threat or anything pointing to his brothers the savages, that being “he doesn’t want to offend the muslims who are our allies in this fight.”
But the only muslims who are fighting the jihad — al-Sisi, King of Jordan, Peshmerga, Iraq, etc — HATE obama.
obama collaborators are tangled inextricably in their own lies and treason.

You don’t know it yet but they ARE at war against your race.
Muhammad called you guys ”raisin heads” and slaughtered or slaved anyone he could.
African-americans—all the way south to Brazil– are ALL descendants of that slavery..
That’s the very reason they are killing each other in Darfur.
That’s the very reason ISIS ”doesn’t trust” BoKo Haram…

If you know anything about Islam. They are allowed to lie and hide facts in any negotiations.
They will lie and cheat to accomplish their goals.
Iran sponsors and promotes terrorism worldwide. If they get a nuclear capability and a terrorist goes with a backpack armed with a nuclear bomb or a dirty bomb and detonates it in times square or a shopping mall or any other area, where there are a large number of people. At that time the damage will have been done.
The key and the obligation of a responsible government is to prevent this at all costs anything less is a dereliction of duty and the leaders and elected officials responsible must be prosecuted for endangering the American public.
Obama, so far has increased the debt of America by 10 trillion dollars. Obama is an embarrassment to most people in the U.S.
