Barack Obama continues to refuse to use the words 'Islamic terrorism' because "the way it’s received by our friends and allies around the world... makes them feel as if they’re under attack."
During Wednesday’s Presidential Town Hall on CNN, Obama was asked by Gold Star mother Tina Houchins why he doesn’t use the term “Islamic terrorist,” and he quickly defended the religion and even compared the scenario to Christianity.
“I don’t want to — if you had a — an organization that was going around killing and blowing people up, and said, we’re on the vanguard of Christianity, well, I’m not going, as a Christian, I’m not going to let them claim my religion and say you’re killing for Christ. I would say that’s ridiculous. That’s not what my religion stands for. Call these folks what they are, which is killers and terrorists,” he said.

He even declared that the real danger comes from "loose language," particularly from presidential candidates.
“I think that, I’ll just be honest with you, the danger is where we get loose in this language, particularly when a president — or people aspiring to get — become president get loose with this language," he said.
Obama defends and supports Islamic leaders in the middle east as if they were heroes fighting valiantly to combat terrorism that is rooted throughout the region. But what really is Saudi Arabia and Egypt doing to fight ISIS? What is Turkey doing or Pakistan doing for that matter?

The U.S. taxpayers send trillions of dollars to help fund and supply their war effort while they simply waste the resources through government corruption. The multi-trillion dollar defense industry that has emerged from the conflicts in the middle east may go down as one of the biggest scams of the 21st century.
Obama's pretense is that if we do not offend Islamic leaders in the middle east, then in return, they will all of the sudden eliminate ISIS and factions like it as an act of kindness to America. But if sending them trillions of dollars in resources and weaponry did not work, then why will not saying 'Islamic terrorism' work?
Reality check, 15 of the 19 hijackers on September 11, 2001 were from Saudi Arabia and two were once accused of being Saudi intelligence officers. Saudis do not care what we call ISIS, they care about the bottom line and how much their government can benefit off of the American taxpayers. They are smart and cunning negotiators who abuse our State Department officials sent to win for the American people, not the other way around.
