Obama clears up the name game

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.

Most of them wouldn't. But for various reasons, there are a fair number in this large group who are more excitable than usual.

How many is .01% of 1.5 billion?

Again, isn't all this a slightly fancy way of saying 'You either flash the symbolic words, or you're a traitor?' 'You're either with us or against us?' And isn't that a stupid way to think?

They're "more excitable"? Like they cheer louder than others at the sporting events? Or do you have some strange definition for excitable that includes murder? Are you suggesting that if others point out the cancer in their midst, these "more excitable" people will decide to start following the nasty bits in their book?

Mocking word choice is a pretty cheap form of argumentation.

I've made my point here.

I wasn't mocking your word choice, I was pointing out that it was improper use. Just like I am now, with the word mocking. And just like I am with Obama and others who refuse to say the obvious.

A purposeful over-simplification.

I wouldn't like to radicalize any of them. If you're asking which we should deem "radical", the ones who kill innocent people would seem a logical place to start.

OH BULLSHIT!

Obama is personally directing drone attacks against terrorist leaders. I suspect they're already pretty pissed off about that. Do you really think Muslim militants would be more pissed off if Obama uttered "Islam is our enemy"? Apparently Jeh does. If you do as well, you're just as hopeless as he is.

And, it will be the same way with a ban country wide. It will work about as well as the ban on drugs.

Yeah, it has to be somebody else's fault besides the Muslims, just like everything else in the whole liberal world is somebody else's fault.

That's funny, ZJ. I've never seen a bigger bunch of whiners than conservatives these days. For all their chest thumping bravado, they've picked a crybaby in chief who resorts to Blighfarts and Alex Jones' WND for his policy positions.
It is to laugh.

Killary is going to crush him in November.

Yeah, do nothing seems to be the mantra of the 'Pubbies these days.

Useless as teats on a boar, imho.
