Robert Spencer: 8 Reasons You Aren’t Safer than You Were 4 Years Ago

In PJ Media this morning I make the case against the appeaser-in-chief.

Are you safer
from the global jihad and Islamic supremacism than you were four years
ago? Over the last four years, Barack Obama has:

  • Warmly supported the “Arab Spring” revolutions in Egypt, Tunisia,
    and Libya (the latter with military aid) that heralded the installation
    of pro-Sharia Islamic supremacist regimes in each. These regimes are
    already oppressing women and non-Muslims and striving to outdo their
    predecessors in anti-Americanism. The Muslim Brotherhood government in
    Egypt, meanwhile, is giving out strong and repeated hints that the Camp
    David Accords, and Egypt’s uneasy but 30-year-old peace with Israel, are
    not long for this world.
  • Refused to say a single positive word about the uprising against the
    bloody Islamic regime in Iran, ostensibly on the grounds that American
    support would doom the uprising to failure — a possibility that never
    gave him pause in his rush to praise the Egyptian, Libyan, and Tunisian
    uprisings. He thus missed an opportunity to weaken and destabilize, at
    the very least, a rogue regime that is relentlessly pursuing development
    of nuclear weapons and has made no secret of its genocidal intentions
    toward Israel.
  • Displayed repeated contempt for Israel and its prime minister,
    thereby drastically weakening the U.S.”s relationship with its only ally
    in the Middle East and encouraging jihadists who have vowed to destroy
    the Jewish state — not least in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
  • Readily acquiesced to the demands of Muslim groups tied to Hamas and
    the Muslim Brotherhood that training material for the FBI and
    Department of Homeland Security be purged of all accurate information
    about how jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to recruit and
    motivate terrorists. This has led to a government-wide willful ignorance
    about the motives and goals of those who have vowed to destroy us,
    which in turn leads to disastrous policy mistakes based on false
    assumptions about the outlook and aspirations of Muslim “insurgents.”
    The most obvious recent consequence of this analytical failure was the
    murder of Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans at the Benghazi
    consulate by revolutionaries Obama and Stevens had backed on the
    assumption that they were benign democratic pluralists.
  • Kept American troops in Afghanistan without a clearly defined
    mission, fighting against a foe, the Taliban, that have so thoroughly
    infiltrated the government and police force that our troops are murdered
    by their putative allies in ever-increasing numbers. Our ostensible
    allies have responded to this infiltration by inviting Taliban members
    to run for offices in the upcoming elections, making it more unclear
    than ever what is the purpose of the continuing American presence there,
    except perhaps to demonstrate that Barack Obama is not weak on defense
    or soft on jihad terror.
  • Aided and abetted the ever more prevalent idea that when Muslims
    riot and murder over something a non-Muslim has said or done, the fault,
    and the responsibility to change his behavior, lies with the
    non-Muslim. He has done this by blaming the Muhammad video for the
    Benghazi consulate attack for a considerable period after he knew that
    it was a jihad attack that had been planned for some time beforehand and
    had nothing to do with the video. By proclaiming that “the future does
    not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam,” he has thrown in
    his lot with those who are demanding curbs on the First Amendment to
    criminalize the criticism of Islam.
