Meanwhile Obama lectures the press and democrats struggle to use that frightening word: Terrorism. ISLAMIC TERRORISM.
Just a thought. Maybe they need to start running background checks on the purchase of pressure cookers and galvanized pipe.

Okay. Let's do it your way. All terrorism is ISLAMIC. Feel better now? Of course if you had bothered to read some history you would be aware that terrorism is not a new strategy and was used long before radical Muslims employed it. (Have any Irish cousins who suffered through "the troubles"?)
We are being attacked by radical fundementalist groups from places where Islamic radicals flourish. We are locked in a battle of ideals, and this may be a long drawn out fight. To suggest that all Muslims are to blame is only adding to the difficulty of ever winning this war of ideals.
Ignorance from all sides is our most dangerous enemy.

Didn't you hear WH spokesman Josh Earnest today? He said we are in a "narrative fight" with these terrorists. And here I thought that sticks and stones (and bullets, knives and bombs) can break my bones, but words can never harm me. Silly me.

Obama's advice to fight Islamic terrorism summed up in three tweets:
Pres. Obama to community: "If you see something suspicious, then you need to say something." http://snpy.tv/2cNglD3

Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.

I heard Ahmed is now working on a flip phone in a box, that can turn on a light when you call the number.
