Obama wrote an op-ed this morning defending Islam once again:
NY POST – President Obama defended the “true peaceful nature of Islam” on Wednesday — saying terrorist groups like ISIS promote a “twisted interpretation of religion that is rejected by the overwhelming majority of the world’s Muslims.”
In an op-ed published in the Los Angeles Times, the commander-in-chief provided a possible preview of a speech later at a White House Summit on Countering Violent Extremism, in which community leaders from across the country gathered to discuss how to protect people from “extremist ideologies.”
“The world must continue to lift up the voices of Muslim clerics and scholars who teach the true peaceful nature of Islam,” Obama wrote.
“We can echo the testimonies of former extremists who know how terrorists betray Islam. We can help Muslim entrepreneurs and youths work with the private sector to develop social media tools to counter extremist narratives on the Internet.”
Maybe he should go and tell ISIS about the ‘true peaceful nature of Islam’ and see how that works out.
He also added this:
“We know that military force alone cannot solve this problem,” Obama wrote. “Nor can we simply take out terrorists who kill innocent civilians. We also have to confront the violent extremists — the propagandists, recruiters and enablers — who may not directly engage in terrorist acts themselves, but who radicalize, recruit and incite others to do so.”
Sound a little familiar? How are you going to confront them Obama? With job applications??
Speaking of jihadis without jobs, I ran across this photo on Twitter while I was writing this post:
Kinda says it all, eh?
