Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Obama: The Islamic State has “already failed”

Sep 3, 2014 10:14 am By Robert Spencer

obama wide-grin_1548848iThe thing is, he says “we will not be intimidated,” but the American government and military establishment is already intimidated, and Obama himself has been a chief agent of that intimidation. He shows that he is intimidated when he makes the wild and ridiculous claim that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, and forbids intelligence and law enforcement officials to study the motives and goals of the jihad terrorists. This is intimidation on a massive scale, rendering his words here utterly hollow.

“Remarks by President Obama and President Ilves of Estonia in Joint Press Conference,” White House, September 3, 2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):

Whatever these murderers think they’ll achieve by killing innocent Americans like Steven, they have already failed. They have failed because, like people around the world, Americans are repulsed by their barbarism. We will not be intimidated. Their horrific acts only unite us as a country and stiffen our resolve to take the fight against these terrorists. And those who make the mistake of harming Americans will learn that we will not forget, and that our reach is long and that justice will be served.

    It’s become rather annoying to be subject to the continual line of bullszchiddt coming from this self-serving destructive pathological liar’s pie-hole.

      Sep 3, 2014 at 10:44 am

      Indeed. BTW, I like the alternate spelling of BULLSHIT you have there.

      BULLSHIT.

      Everyone should use this word daily as a synonym of ISLAM.

    It is very disturbing when the ‘useful idiot’ appellation, so useful to the evil of islam, applies to our ‘leaders’. The taqiyya spewing troika of obama, Cameron and Merkel needs to be unceremoniously removed from office.

    Obama is in a real mental-meltdown, but the reason is simple : he hoped to get through his entire term without Islam showing its essence — violent behavior toward Infidels.

    He has never been able to leave behind the sweet innocent childhood Indonesian memories of Muslims as being just like other “believers”. ISIS lopped off the head of that fairy-tale.

    We see clearly a human being who is not strong enough to face reality — pitiable guy, except for all those getting slaughtered due to his failure of character.

    Reminding readers here that I grew up in a proud Norwegian-heritage family of FDR Democrats — who WAS a true giant of strength in American history.

    How far the Oval Office has fallen in stature from those long gone days of bravery and unsurpassed resolve to prevail after our first “September 11th” — the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

      You are ever so correct in your assessment. Has the US ever had leaders so bereft of intelligence? Or is it rather they are criminally in dereliction of duty to defend the nation, the constitution from enemies within and especially without?

    I am no fan of Obama’s, but it could be that he realizes something that no one else on this site does.

    The world is grossly overpopulated and is entering into a catastrophic phase as non-western societies in the developing world, already totally dependent upon western food assistance, violently implode. Extremist Islam is merely the symptom of widespread recognition by the young that that these regions have no survivable future. You can imagine no more ideal ideology to cull the herd than the slaughter worship of Islam. ISIS, Boko Harum, extremist Islam…are nothing more than killing machines. That is all they are here for. To kill. They do not realize this, but that changes nothing in the big picture.

    No amount of intervention by the USA, or a ‘coalition of allies’ or any other reality based scenario can salvage what is happening in the Middle East, Central America, Africa… These people have bred themselves into an apocalypse and it is unfolding before our eyes. All we can do is to wall ourselves off from this slaughter until nature has run its course.

    Obama seems to understand this on some level. Maybe not clearly, but to his credit he is not involving us in a catastrophie that has no exit.

    If we do not learn a lesson from this and get our population growth in the West under control, and that means REAL immigration reform, what you are looking at is the dark future of all humanity in the coming decades.

    • Beagle says

      Sep 3, 2014 at 11:37 am

      Yes our immigration policies are suicidal.

      With calderas rumbling (search “Tambora year of no Summer famine”), genocidal jihadis winning, antibiotics failing, and pandemics spreading, I don’t think you need to worry about overpopulation. It’s like worrying about global warming when record low temperatures are the norm, as they are now. To suggest too many people is to creep towards genocide as a solution.

      True overpopulation is a self-correcting phenomenon. Planet earth has many means of population control which we’ve never seen in recent centuries, which is why the population is growing. Look at what one fairly (viewed long term) average tsunami did to Asia years ago.

      I fear the environmental movement is just about to enter its openly genocidal phase. There have been many examples of this tendency already, including the commercials in the UK where children were blown to bits of bloody viscera for questioning global warming dogma. Overpopulation hysteria is a main driver of this sort of thinking.

    • Biff H says

      Sep 3, 2014 at 11:47 am

      The advocates of world population control is just another death cult wrapped in the irrational discourse framed in the “love for all humanity.” Get behind me Satan.

      • Biff H says

        Sep 3, 2014 at 12:03 pm

        What you are saying is war and pestilence is a saving grace for mankind. You are one sick puppy that should be scarified on the altar of this abominable idea. What gives you or Obama or anyone for that matter the right to condemn whole populations based on points on a map to countless suffering? Circumstances of the human condition have taken their course throughout history but to openly advocate people in the position of power should hasten the demise of a given demographic is downright demonic.

        • Beagle says

          Sep 3, 2014 at 12:33 pm

          Huh? I never advocated the demise of any demographic. I have studied, truly studied, the “arc of history” and found it, disturbing. War and pestilence have always been with, and likely will always be with us. No amount of happy talk will change that.

          If you were writing in response to pongadae rex, never mind.

        • Tradewinds says

          Sep 3, 2014 at 2:18 pm

          Ever heard of Malthusianism? See Demographer Thomas Malthus and his theory “An essay on the Principle of Population.”

          The Muslim demographics are out of control due to 1400 years of polygamy, child brides, and treating females as nothing more than baby factories. That’s called Demographic Jihad.

          “One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.”

        You have no concept of exponential growth, its dynamics, or its implications. No exponential function can continue indefinitely. It is physically impossible. It must cease, by one mechanism or another. A nuclear bomb going off is an exponential function of neutron capture by Uranium nuclei. It stops, abrubtly, when the nuclear fuel is exhausted. Human population growth is an exponential function and, after many thousands of years of deceptively gradual population growth, humanity is entering the ‘blast phase’ of the exponential function. All curves of human consumption and impact point verticle and are accelerating. The idea that human populations can increase indefinitely, at an ever-accelerating rate, can exist only in a fog of ignorance. It is as irrelevant whether or not anyone believes this as it is if anyone believes in the law of gravity. The near illiteracy of the opinions here is very depressing. What we are facing will not be defeated with stupidity.

        • Beagle says

          Sep 3, 2014 at 12:43 pm

          Human population is not an exponential mathematical function. Nor is human population a fission reaction. Human population growth is dependent upon countless variables and choices which are too numerous to even explore minimally here.

          You sound like Paul Ehrlich whose every prediction turned out to be famously wrong. Unfortunately his .000 batting average has not stopped him from a long and prosperous career as an opinion shaping academic.

          To lump all humanity (say, Japan v Yemen) into the same category is an inexcusable logical error for someone who purports to have a scientific view.

          http://article.wn.com/view/2014/01/02/Japans_population_shows_record_decline/

          http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/Asia-and-Oceania/Yemen-POPULATION.html

          Research tends to indicate that material well being and consumerism pump the brakes on population growth almost immediately. The only real population “explosion” in materially well off nations is in Islam. Thanks to polygamy and womb jihad, that’s the one major exception to the rule.

          Planet Earth has undergone around 8 episodes of mass extinction in its history, according to the geological record.
          Whether these mass extinctions have been the result of Gaia controlling viral population growths, Divine intervention or simply the chance results of celestial mechanics, I will leave for JW readers to decide for themselves.

          ——
          No concept of, fog of ignorance, illiteracy of opinion, stupidity. I stand corrected. You are one arrogant, sick puppy.

          I don’t recall anyone ‘here’ stating they believe in “The idea that human populations can increase indefinitely…” When I read “Plague” some thirty-odd years ago the impact of pestilence throughout the ages was fleshed out. The author presented the facts and I didn’t have to suffer through some cockamamy diatribe of a social engineering freak. I heard your rationalization and it sickens me to the core. My heart tells me to trust in the hand of the Almighty God and not in those that want to replace Him.

    One thing is for sure . that is the murderous Islamic fiends who compose ISIS have not “failed” in the ruthless and deadly persecution of those Christians in that area of the Middle East that ISIS now has much power and control of. That the ISIS thugs band together against the Christians and likewise the ISIS villains also condemn the innocent to death, this is heinous , terrible and awful too the extreme. These type of hideous actions are described,in part, in the Bible. For the Bible in Psalm 94:21. “They gather together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.” [N.K.J.V.]

    Has a peace prize winner ever been so responsible, directly and indirectly, for so much war, death, and misery in the world. I think not. Of course he got that Nobel before he ever really did anything, making the whole notion of the prize a joke for years to come. What would the jury say now? Seeing what they’ve seen that have been the result of his policies around the world. Is he worthy of a prize today?

    Genghis Khan no doubt lost the PR battle all the way across Asia into Europe and the Middle East. Obama is only good at one thing: politics.

    Obama’s entire worldview is based on messaging and optics. The rest is identity politics where he sides with Islam. Now he’s facing a barbaric and truly evil foe which can only be dealt with militarily. Every fiber of his being and his entire education told him such things simply do not exist. Such Manichean duality is a fiction of the simple-minded clingers.

    I’d say reality punched him in the face. But no man I’ve ever seen is better at ducking the jabs of reality.

    The only good thing about ISIS is that their well publicized brutality is opening many eyes to the true nature of Muslimism. They are not extremists or radicals, they are simply the most devout and dedicated to the literal instructions contained in the Quaran.

    The sooner we give up the wishful thinking of the multi-culturists who claim all religions are equally valid the better. The sooner we recognize that a criminal enterprise that celebrates rape, murder and theft while pursuing ambitions of global supremacy is clearly not a religion, despite it’s invocation of holiness. That part is just a cover story for their real goals and it always has been.

    ISIS has successfully taking control of large swaths of land and finances. They have clearly defined their enemy. Their strategies reflect they have studied and understand what motivates their enemy. This is success, not failure. I just hope we can say the same things about the West before it’s too late.

    If people would recognize that islam *is* extremism, fanatical pursuit of killing by any and all means…especially those most horrific and brutal…raping of children under the guise of *marriage*, abusing women in any and all ways the demons can inspire, repressive and backward economics due to the desire to live off the work of those they “subjugate” and live for lust, cause war and death…there could be a ceasing of trying to separate *moderate* and *extremists.*

    But as long as islam is seen as just another culture and religion that houses within some *extremists*…the beast that it is will continue to roar. And grow.

    There is an old movie, “The Beast of Hollow Mountain.” Until someone with the ability to see the truth, with the will and the *power* to act arrived to kill the beast, it destroyed life to stay alive and caused terror for the people.

    Revelation 13 is being fulfilled. And…There is someone coming with the ability to see, and the will and power to act against the beast.

    Obama and other of West’s ‘leaders’ should make clear to their citizens that the Islamic jihadist barbarians of the Islamic State and beyond are our enemy and are at war with us; and we must be organized in resistance, in military and civilian spheres.

    All West’s citizens should avoid visiting Syria and Iraq; and all Islamic jihad sympathisers in the West should be put under surveillance, at least.

    All easier said than done.

    Obama etc. say ISIS “has nothing to do with religion.” However, I possess copies of the first two “newsletters” of ISIS, largely for their recruits. Virtually every single paragraph strongly mentions “a certain” religion. (But we are not surprised at that…) It is strong evidence to use however.
