Why Won't Obama Call ISIS Islamic Terrorists

I think this thread points out why we cannot have Republicans setting foreign policy. They are too intent on pandering to their Muslim hating base

If we are going to fight ISIS, we are going to need to build a coalition with Islamic countries and their people. Turing this into a fight against Islam rather than a fight against terrorism is not the way to go

Why are Republicans so naive when it comes to diplomacy?

This is not a Democrat/Republican thing. Obama is following the same policy we have had for decades. He just went from overt to covert. What I would like to know is if Obama has any clue as to what is going on.

Any more of a clue than anyone in the last 50 years?

I would really like to know. On the first day on the job does the President get a briefing about what is really going on behind our curtain or do they give him a load of BS and keep feeding him for four more years? My guess would be for the most part they give him the actual picture but back that up with a bunch of BS rational. Supposedly the Bush administration pressured the intelligence community to provide bias analysis leading up to the invasion into Iraq but that seems like a bit of a half truth, at best.
 
Oh please. isis are made up of radical islamic extremists. Period. He can't say it because he doesn't want to say it. Why? Obvious muslim sympathizer is obvious.

Death cult my ass . . . .

Did you not read the link, Zoom? Bush didn't say it either. Was he also a Muslim sympathizer?

Liar.

This is W's Address to the Nation, September 20, 2001

"On September the 11th, enemies of freedom committed an act of war against our country. Americans have known wars, but for the past 136 years they have been wars on foreign soil, except for one Sunday in 1941. Americans have known the casualties of war, but not at the center of a great city on a peaceful morning.

Americans have known surprise attacks, but never before on thousands of civilians. All of this was brought upon us in a single day, and night fell on a different world, a world where freedom itself is under attack. Americans have many questions tonight. Americans are asking, ``Who attacked our country?''

The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations known as al Qaeda. They are some of the murderers indicted for bombing American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya and responsible for bombing the USS Cole.

Al Qaeda is to terror what the Mafia is to crime. But its goal is not making money, its goal is remaking the world and imposing its radical beliefs on people everywhere.

The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics; a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam.

The terrorists' directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews, to kill all Americans and make no distinctions among military and civilians, including women and children.

This group and its leader, a person named Osama bin Laden, are linked to many other organizations in different countries, including the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan."

obama is a muslim sympathizer, who he stands with is obvious to those who aren't wearing rose-colored glasses.

Islamic extremists not Islamic terrorists. That's not a fine distinction for our Muslim allies, Zoom.

Bush used the term "Islamic extremists" not "Islamic terrorists" which is not a small distinction to our Muslim allies. It singles out those groups which are responsible for the acts and doesn't blame the faithful of entire religion for the acts of a few.

Did you not read the article linked? It's from the conservative Bloomberg news and defends the practice of making just such a distinction.

Uh, CM? neither extremist nor terrorist is the word that obama won't use.
