They are unnecessarily conflating the labels "radical Islam" with "Islam," while being perfectly able to explain the differences between radicalism and mainstream viewpoints. Even though this is the politics of language rather than substantive foreign policy, this administration is using a hopelessly deluded linguistic framework that ironically patronizes Muslims.
I agree, thatthe administration has surrendered to Islam and will not speak poorly of it.
I disagree ... primarily because , as Fiddytree said, there is an unnecessary conflation of radical Islam and Islam.... and extremist Muslim and Muslim.
listen, I'm a Mormon, and we , like every other church, have their extremists.... I don't mind when folks talk about these asshats as radical Mormons, or extremist Mormons, or even fundamentalist Mormons ( that's what they call themselves)... i do, however, get bent out of shape when they are conflated with mainstream Mormons.
if we are shooting for accuracy, it's best not to be purposefully inaccurate..... those dudes, and dudes like them,.. are radical extremists Muslims practicing, and doing evil deeds in the name of , radical extremist Islam....
in any event, it needs to be made clear that this donnybrook is with the radicals, not the mainstream.... but it's wrong to pretend like their wacky radical religious beliefs aren't at the heart of their actions... it's not only wrong, but it's also a lie.
Been reported that its doing almost no good.If that's so, then why are we dropping all of those bombs on ISIS ? :roll:
Explain that if you can.
I think it's great that you don't mind if some people use the term radical Mormons, but you are just one person and you don't speak for all Mormons. Look at post #3 and tell that person doesn't think all Muslims are bad. And that's the problem today, too many people are blaming Islam for all the things these terrorist do.

This is just painful. It's like that time our genius President called the terrorism at Fort Hood "Work Place Violence".

then the correct response is to correct the people who are thinking inaccurately... not create another lie so the other lie won't bear fruit.... 2 lies don't make a truth.
We're not trying to do good. The idea is to kill those people and put them out of business.

It's not a lie (by them) if they believe its true, lies are meant to deceive. I don't believe that's what they are doing. They are trying to correct the notion it's all about Islam. I think by conflating these radicals with Islam is the reason we'll more domestic terrorists, like the shooter at Ft. Hood.then the correct response is to correct the people who are thinking inaccurately... not create another lie so the other lie won't bear fruit.... 2 lies don't make a truth.
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....
I do not understand....
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
