Obama condemns those who seek to 'hijack religion'

I don't give a damn what you asked. Your question had no relationship to my post. Why would I need to answer such a lame response to my post?

Yes it did. Your post talked about terrorism and whether or not a specific act was a terrorist act. You don't have to answer.

I don't answer questions pulled from the ether of outer space that have no relationship to what I posted. My post had nothing to do with what you're claiming. It merely made a comparison to what the poster was claiming was a standard for applying what defines a terrorist.

Perhaps you should be more patient and wait to apply your agenda driven questions to a post that actually has some relevance.

OK. It was somewhat off topic, but not entirely. I apologize.

Not if they're white, terrorists are only brown, I thought everybody knew that by now!

You really don't see the problem with excusing what is going on today with ISIS, to that of events of 500 and 800 years ago? Really?

Obama fails to add that the crusades came about due to Islamic extremist aggression.
 
Barack Hussein Obama seems more concerned with protecting Islam then protecting Americans.

But I don't feel threatened. In fact, the less an American president does in the Middle East, the safer I feel.

What evidence do you or BHO have that the Jim Crow Laws were in place for religious reasons? It was for racist reasons and designed and passed into law by the Democrats. The rest of your post is straw.
Click to expand...

Of course Jim Crow was established for separatist reasons not religious reasons. I've never made a claim to the contrary. But that doesn't mean that people didn't affix their religious beliefs to Jim Crow policies while conducting inhumane acts. KKK anyone?

Then you are very naïve concerning the middle east as well and the history of US involvement. In my lifetime, the less involved, the less safe we are. When al queda was attempting to goad us into war with a number of terrorist attacks leading up to 9/11/01, we were involved very little in the middle east. When Obama failed to leave a contingent of troops behind in Iraq, ISIS grew and became a threat.

Lol! We've been manipulating events in the Middle East to suit our interests for a century. Our government was busy overthrowing the Iranian government, long before Obama was born. But you go on blaming Obama as the only one that has advanced policies in that region that have caused so many people to hate us. It's no wonder we have the issues we have with the lack of critical thinkers.
 
Religion doesn't need to be hijacked in order to cause tremendous evil. It does that when it's working properly. You have to hijack it in order to do good with it.

I searched two pages of the BN forum, and couldn't find this story anywhere, and my apologies if it was already posted...But, come on folks....Give me a damned break! :doh This would be like Churchill during WWII telling us that although the Nazi's were bad, that maybe they were justified for what the Moore's did centuries earlier....It's a load of crap!

There is no equivalency....It's a false narrative that once again leads some to believe that Obama protects, and runs cover for terrorists.

Actually he's quite right. The point is that history is full of people who use religion to do evil. Religion isn't the problem; radicals are.

They want more than just to eliminate Israel. They want the whole world.

What is never discussed is that at the core of their religious belief is the goal of a worldwide world war, that prophesy says they will win. Muslims are 1/4th of the world population. While there are claims the percentage of Christians is slightly higher, a much larger percentage of Christians are Christian in self identity only and do not practice Christianity. A large percentage of Muslims practice the religion of Islam daily. Muslims generally do NOT share the usual religious tolerance of Christians either.

There is a VERY (very) small train of thought in radical Christianity that also believes in the same world war, but that belief is very ingrained into a large portion of Muslim population. The goal is not peace nor co-existence. It remains what the religion of Islam began with by Muhammad - a war-religion of invasion, conquest and absolute religious intolerance.

Are they fought now while small in active numbers and highly fragmented into different factions, regions and countries in an unified manner? Or do we hope they change their views with they have a unified half a billion people with WMDs of all kinds and fully integrated into our countries - while we are fully excluded from theirs?

What you say is quite true and denied only by Barrack Obama and his lackeys. Certainly Islamic leaders don't hide their ambitions.

Islamists will have the Middle East oil to finance their operations while BHO puts America trillions deeper in debt, an act he once called "unAmerican", and continues to deny further exploration as well as the Keystone Pipeline. His releasing terrorist leaders does not do America any good either, nor does his plan to close Gitmo. The list goes on.

The phrase is "the self hating Jew." Have you ever heard that before?

I have, and have seen the same phenomenon with self-hating Americans as well, and with the US President apparently being a self-loathing Christian. Or at least he once claimed to be a Christian.

yes, and people who protest in front of bakeries for not selling cakes to Gays are terrorists as well. I suppose anyone can be a 'terrorist' in the minds of neurotic leftists.

Was Barrack Obama correct in saying that Christians initiated Jim Crow laws? Or is he just stupid?

Actually Barrack Obama has his history all wrong, his analogies confused, and is one of the best examples of why Affirmative Action is one of the worst ideas every devised by leftist, and racist, screwballs.

Do tell what's wrong. And explain how Affirmative Action has anything to do with our nationally elected President, other than making a comment sound borderline racist.

Were you still going to say that ISIS isn't working with AQ?
Click to expand...
No, Al-Qaeda is saying ISIS is not part of Al-Qaeda.

What part of this do you not understand?

Look I know you have difficulties and just can't fathom that ISIS was AQIL.
Click to expand...
No, they WERE part of Al-Qaeda. But they aren't. Officially haven't been for roughly a year. The fact you want our President to continue to call them Al-Qaeda, when even Al-Qaeda says ISIS isn't part of their group is stupid.

Obviously most already know this fact. Then they morphed into the Islamic State brought on by Baghdadi's split from the Z-Man. While still maintaining their ties. Now I know even you can understand that Point. What do you think the General meant by Outgrowth?
Click to expand...
Who cares? You're apparently wanting President Obama to call them Al-Qaeda now, when they clearly are not Al-Qaeda now.

Why do you struggle with even the simplest of facts? It makes you sound completely uninformed.

Did you believe what your BO peep says or not?
Click to expand...
It depends on what he said. But I'm not offended when he doesn't call ISIS part of Al-Qaeda since...get this...they are not part of Al-Qaeda, even according to Al-Qaeda.


So the real question is why you keep calling them Al-Qaeda when they aren't? Do you just not know any better?

I don't know. Why is conservatives miss such an obvious message and go stupid on things Obama says? I guess both are a mystery. :coffeepap

Terrorists use violence to instill fear into an opponent for the sake advancing their agenda and typically don't mind killing innocent people to do so.

I actually agree Joe, However, Obama #1, ignored context to make his crappy comparison here. I really think he enjoys slapping Christians in the face....

Without turning this into an academic exercise of event of 800 years ago, let's just say that this is the here and now...

I quite disagree. The hatred of Muslims in general is something that needed to be addressed. Far too many don't see the difference, and this requires that leaders point it out.

And we can use both historic examples and modern examples. We can move from the Crusades to the Salam witch trials to Hitler blessing plans to black church burnings in the south to Christian hate groups of today. He merely used an example everyone should have been familiar with.
