I do not agree that this is not a lie, as in a deliberate attempt to deceive. As a Christian I too know what its like to be blamed for the asinine views of others who claim the faith, especially those Americans who believe Jesus has given them the right to war on whoever they disagree with. and true faith is NOT at the heart of their actions, but a distorted, perverted truth of invention counter to the teachings of either of our faiths.
However, here we see a member of the administration of the president of the United States playing word games for purely partisan political purposes, a deliberate attempt to mislead that is far, far more dangerous than "you can keep your plan. period"
The point the White House should be making is that traditional Islam is NOT a threat, and make it clear with traditional Islam leaders standing at the President's side, promising full co-operation and a cleansing of the radicals in their midst in the US.
When Obama can bring his "buddies" in and have them face retribution, America will lose a lot of it's fear of Islam and maybe not confuse Sikh and Hindu as Islam. Frankly, with there never having been a "green" on Homeland Security's scale, the usually brave American people aren't sure who their friends are....FFS you have sunk to strip searching Asian women entering from Canada....

When I was in Jr High in the US I learned when you stand up to a bully, risk a beating maybe, you win. If this America had been around in 1944, you would all be speaking Japanese/German
