Obama ignores Al Qaeda/Islamic terrorists

[bodecea]

Why does Obama virtually ignore our enemy when Islamic extremism is still alive and well....even right here in the United States...?

President Barack Obama’s speech memorializing the thousands of 9/11 terror victims played down the identity and purpose of their attackers.

“Ten years ago, America confronted one of our darkest nights,” Obama said at the beginning of his Sunday night speech at the Kennedy Center. ”Mighty towers crumbled. Black smoke billowed up from the Pentagon. Airplane wreckage smoldered on a Pennsylvania field.”

Obama did not identify the attackers as Islamists or al Qaida members, and did not describe their purpose, but labeled them vaguely as “hateful killers.”

...


“The United States will never wage war against Islam or any religion,” Obama said in his Sunday night speech, declaring that “immigrants come here from all parts of the globe. In the biggest cities and the smallest towns, in our schools and workplaces, you still see people of every conceivable race, religion and ethnicity — all of them pledging allegiance to one flag; all of them reaching for the same American dream — e pluribus unum, out of many, we are one.”

This optimistic picture of American universalism is contradicted by evidence that a segment of Muslim immigrants have initiated numerous terror attacks in the United States. According to research from the Anti-Defamation League, updated this month: “Since the September 11 terrorist attacks, approximately 200 Americans have been charged for their roles in various bomb plots and conspiracies in the U.S., as well as for providing material support to Islamic terrorist groups.”

A Pew Research Center poll released Aug. 29 showed that 21 percent of Muslims living in the United States believe there is a “great deal” or “fair amount” of support among Muslim Americans for “extremism.” The same poll found that only 34 percent of U.S. Muslims believe Muslim advocacy groups “have done as much as they should” to counter Islamic extremists.


The Pew poll also showed that 7 percent of the 1.8 million Muslim adults in the United States believe suicide bombing and other attacks on civilian targets are “sometimes” justified “to defend Islam from its enemies.”

Seven percent of 1.8 million is 126,000 people.

Ask the ones that have replaced him. Nature abhores a vacuum...especially where evil is concerned. Jhihadist activities did't stop when he was killed Deany. Wake the Hell up.

I will vote for Romney, but I will always thank the Obama administration for going after the leadership and infrastructure of al-quada with efficiency, swiftness, and viciousness. The jihadists are far weaker because of this admin's efforts during the last three years, along with ending Iraq and down-scaling Afghanistan.

Make sure you look under your bed tonight, T, before going to sleep. That space is empty in great part because of the efforts of your Dear Leader.

You will vote for the guy who will protect you over the guy who will screw you. Hope you remember to buy the Vaseline.

deanie, even Einstein does not get what you are trying to say. Again, please.

babble away yourself...

when (if) KSM is finally tried and sentenced to death by a military tribunal under Obama i might have a little less skepticism...

BO and Liberals are attempting to downplay the whole significance of 9/11....

Stop it! YOU'RE skeptical? of what? As far as downplay goes...you're sensationalizing your view, not what 9/11 means.

Get a clue Oraclueless...

BO DOWNPLAYED 9/11 by not referring to the Islamic Al Qaeda attackers who killed 3,000 American.....he just called them "hateful killers".....an attempt to bury historical truth...

BO DOWNPLAYED 9/11 by reading Psalm 46, including verse 8: "Come, behold the works of the LORD, how he has wrought desolations in the earth." Of all the Psalms he could have read he picked the one that implied that GOD was responsible for 9/11.....not the montrously evil radical Islamists...

BO DOWNPLAYED 9/11 by attempting to make it a National Day of Service.....as if 9/11 should become a day of "community service".....what a joke...just another attempt to whitewash 9/11....

You're still really butthurt about OBL going down during Obama's Watch, aren't you?

Gee, I dunno. Ask Bin Laden.

Ask the ones that have replaced him. Nature abhores a vacuum...especially where evil is concerned.

Jhihadist activities did't stop when he was killed Deany.

Wake the Hell up.

Are you uninformed or is this willfull? You realize that more leaders of AQ have been taken out in 3 years under Obama than in 8 under Bush? He has virtually beheaded the dragon and is the first president or Western leader from any country to do so much damage, that the Taliban has initiated peace talks.

I think you might want to do what you have advised the other gentleman to do and wake up.

The fact is that Republicans let Bin Laden go for nearly a decade.

Politicians don't make "promises". They state "goals" but they know that "things happen". No one knew Republicans would do everything they could to bring this president down. No matter the cost to the country, they don't care. All the pandering to white wing extremists and putting their debate on MLK day pretty much underlines the hatred the white wing feels for this president.

But one thing he did promise was to get Bin Laden. Republicans stopped looking for him. They simply stopped and publicly announced they didn't care.

Obama got Bin Laden. The most sick and disgusting thing they did was the lame attempt to take credit for what someone who wasn't derelict did.
