Imo, two reasons. First he knew anything he said that did not equate Islam as not being a religion of peace would set off the far right ... even though W made this point repeatedly... including at the natl cathedral 9-11 service.
Second, and no less nefariously, the history of civil rights. The Klan did this less than fifty years ago in the claim of protecting Christianity from black extremists.
They took these two guys into the woods and whipped them until one of them confessed to something he knew was untrue. They then tied these two guys up, drove them to the Miss. River, chained one of them to weights, and pitched him into the river ... while the other guy was forced to watch. They they did the same to the other guy.
And they were only convicted in 2007.

I think Obama took the opportunity to bring up the ugly, and fairly recent, pass.
I think you answered your own question, but don't understand its implications. Why take this "opportunity?" For what purpose? More race baiting?
IMHO: It was to reassure the broader Muslim community that we are NOT modern day crusaders who are hell bent on the destruction of Islam and that terrorists DO NOT represent Islam any more than the KKK represents Christianity (even though BOTH groups will claim they do).
Driving a wedge between the terrorists and the Muslim community is smart.
Islamic terrorism is based on Islamic theology. The KKK was based on racial superiority, not Christian theology.
Ironically, Obama mimics the KKK by trying to drive a wedge between racial groups in this country.
No, jwoodie, you don't get "just once more" when the fact is common knowledge.Terrorism is based on a bastardization of Islamic theology. Just like the KKK based their racial superiority theories on a bastardization of the Bible.
