There are 1.5 billion Muslims. What percentage of them would you like to radicalize because one guy shouted 'Allahu Akbar?' Because Obama is the President, what he says has great official and psychological weight. Just let him say something that parses to 'Islam is our enemy,' and the cost would be Orlando times x.

It is a stupid trope for bigots to say "Either Obama says 'Islamic radicals' or he's against us."

If most of them ignore the nasty little bits in their book, why would they become radicalized over what anyone has to say, regardless their stature? People have been saying bad things about the jews for centuries, yet we don't have radical terrorist jew gangs popping up everywhere. Folks make fun of Buddha and his fat belly, make caricature statues of him, etc. yet the Buddhists don't seem to have bands of crazies killing people about it.
What if some psycho like Larry David made a TV show in which a character urinates on a picture of Jesus? Do you think the christians would rise up and start killing then? Oh wait, already happened, and no dead people.
