Obama's Islamophobia
Barack Obama suffers from serious case of the real Islamophobia -- fear of telling the truth about Islam. Even though a "progressive," he says nary a word about the rampant misogyny and homophobia in Islam or about Sharia law whose medieval strictures are preferred by 51% of American Muslims. Nor does he seem to care that so few of these same American Muslims actively oppose radical Islam. The president prefers the Hamas-linked CAIR to courageous reformers like Dr. Zuhdi Jasser. But that's no surprise. For Obama, radical Islam doesn't even exist.
Instead, he claims American citizens are mistreating their Muslim brothers and sisters when anyone with a web browser can see that simply isn't true and is yet another Obama lie. In fact, anti-Muslim acts in the USA are few and far less than those against Jews. According to the FBI, in 2014, 57% of hate crimes targeted Jews, only 16% Muslims. Moreover, hate crimes themselves are extremely infrequent in this country, only 1140 (again from 2014) in a nation with a population well over 320 million. Compare hate crimes to burglaries -- 2,159,878, according to the FBI, in 2010 -- and it becomes obvious how minuscule the threat is, particularly to Muslims. It's almost non-existent.
Yet Obama continues to hector us about our anti-Muslim bias. Actually what he is demonstrating is an unconscious contempt for Muslims, treating them like children who need to be coddled. And as most parents know, coddling children is a sure way to ratify, even encourage, bad behavior.
Obama's choice for his first mosque visit did just that. From Investor's Business Daily:
President Obama is conferring legitimacy on a Baltimore mosque the FBI just a few years ago was monitoring as a breeding ground for terrorists, after arresting a member for plotting to blow up a federal building.
IBD has learned that the FBI had been conducting surveillance at the Islamic Society of Baltimore since at least 2010 when it collared one of its members for plotting to bomb an Army recruiting center not far from the mosque in Catonsville, Md.
Agents secretly recorded a number of conversations with a 25-year-old Muslim convert — Antonio Martinez, aka Muhammad Hussain — and other Muslims who worshipped there. According to the criminal complaint, Martinez said he knew “brothers” who could supply him weapons and propane tanks.
So what is Obama after? The Muslim vote, obviously. But he is equally obviously, and more importantly, working out his own identity crisis, a long and winding road that has taken him from the madrassas of Indonesia to the pews of Reverend Wright. But that is a familiar tale that will be told and retold in the years to come as more information comes to light. What should concern us now are its immediate ramifications in immigration policy. The tardiness and tentativeness with which the president dealt with extreme instances of Islamic terror from Paris to San Bernardino bespeak tremendous moral and emotional confusion -- his fear of saying anything bad about Islam. He wishes these events would go away because he doesn't know how to "contain" them in the psychoanalytic sense. https://pjmedia.com/diaryofamadvoter/2016/02/03/obamas-islamophobia/?singlepage=true

Obama is in denial that Islam is in need of its own reformation. He wants the west to accept them as they are. President Jefferson was right about them from the beginning of the republic. That our first war as an independent nation was against was against Islam is something Obama hates the founders for.
Arguing that a Muslim terrorist, whether ISIL or Hamas or Hezbollah or Boko Hurum or Al Qaida or Islamic Jihad or any other violent MUSLIM is NOT a Muslim is like saying that a Jew who wears a kippuh and earlocks and goes to the synagogue to pray, and was circumcised at the age of 8, has a Jewish mother, but belongs to the Jewish Defense League (JDL) is not a Jew.
It's the True Scotsman fallacy. The left uses or abuses it regularly. It's a War on Logic.
becomes obvious how minuscule the threat is, particularly to Muslims. It's almost non-existent.
The threat of radical Islam to any individual American is also minuscule, yet we hear about it daily.
It's a threat to Anerica and our interests around the world.
Sure there is nothing to worry about. We need to bring more here.
It amazes me you still constantly spout this tripe. The reason we don't ave a huge problem with them here is because we don't have the percentage here that begin to cause big problems. That would be 10% + in case your wondering and any moron can do a google search to prove it.
Tell me John would you like to discuss out of all the terrorist attacks committed WORLDWIDE what percentage is carried out by Muslims?
I'd love to have that discussion here.
A San Bernadine type attack will never happen again asserts The Russell . But when one happens we will be sure and point it out to you . Meanwhile your unconcern about gang warfare in Chicago goes on unabated especially when the weather warms up ...
Obama ignores Muslims who want a reformation. He only wants to deal with those who hate western civilization as much as he does. The last thing he wants is for Islam to join it, or assimilate with us here.

Double X - do you truly believe President Obama hates western civilization?
Yes. He much prefers those of the 3rd world his father came from.
Okay, I just wanted to make sure this was your belief.
Excuse me, but I'm curious. First, you go on and on and on about Obama being a Muslim, then you accuse him of Islamaphobia. Which is it? How can it be both ways?
The seeded article explains the question quite clearly.
If it were clearly stated, I wouldn't have asked. It makes no sense to me.
Obamas phobia is not with Islam at all but is with his inability and refusal to tell the truth about Islam and terrorism.
Thank you for the explanation. I wasn't trying to be disruptive and/or rude. I truly didn't understand what it meant. It didn't make sense to me.
Only in Bizarro World does the absurd assertions in xx's seeds make any sense.
We are not interested
Mouse in your pocket ?
Anything to say about what was written in the seeded article or is all you have heckling, disruption, derail, and personal attacks? Why do you even open my seeds. You are probably the single most rude, intolerant, and divisive member on NewsTalkers.

Congratulations Pat!!
Ah, our moderator advocating against civility and comity and in favor of disruption and derailing as long as it's someone he agrees with politically doing it.
Dear Member XX from the mythical regime of Jefferson
It would be best if you understood the CoC. A moderator can make comments on an article that they are not moderating.
His comment was not advocating anything, even simple minds can see that.
''You are probably the single most rude, intolerant, and divisive member on NewsTalkers. ''. Sorry XX, but that title belongs to you and has since the day you joined NT.
Congratulations.

Kavika is correct about that XX . Let it go .
