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

Former US Ambassador to Iraq: Obama Administration was warned about rise of the Islamic State, “did almost nothing”

Oct 30, 2014 3:39 pm By Robert Spencer

The last thing that the Obama Administration wanted to do was acknowledge that there was another Islamic jihad group that was not al-Qaeda, but that shared the same beliefs and goals as al-Qaeda. Nor did Obama want to acknowledge that there were Islamic jihadists among the Syrian “rebels” that he was so anxious to support militarily.

    We know of the existence of the OIC and its worldwide threat to individual liberty, and yet we apparently do nothing but coddle them. Compare and contrast.

    The fact that obama has gone on record stating that IS has nothing to do with islam clearly defines this administration …

    NOT TRUE, obama …IS *is* islam!

        Forget about the next elections, mariam. It will be more of the same. The whole system is rotten, infiltrated, bribed and corrupt. Our elites in both parties have sold us out for a handful of petro dollars. The same applies to the E.U.
        Now it’s up to us, the people, to get rid of these traitors. If we don’t, we are doomed.
        Again, our fight against jihad must start here, in our own backyards.

      ISIL is not Islamic
      The Pope is not Catholic
      A Mallard is not a Duck

    Obama, CAIR, and many others so desperately trying to keep the ‘Islamic cat’ in the bag. As the Taqiyya becomes ever more transparent, the charade grows ever more preposterous.

    ISIS, serving up Islam just as ‘Allah’ commanded it.

    Well Obumbler………is not the most intelligent man…but he has his enablers who are keeping his golf buggy warm for when he ” retires ” . Michelle can then go work for Chick’-fil-a in her spare time…..we know where this is going don’t we ? this terrible man is doing his best to bring in a NWO.

    Southerners have an inherent distrust of the feds………I know places in the Appalachians that if you show up on a backwoods home, if you have a suit and tie on they will shoot you on sight, few trust the gub’ment…..no sirree !

    At the risk of becoming tedious: OBAMA WANTS TO HAND ALL OF SYRIA TO ISLAMIC STATE.

    Obama also wants to hand Baghdad to IS, that is why he voluntarily withdrew ALL remaining troops. Obviously, the presence of U.S. troops in Baghdad would greatly increase attention to what is happening there.

    As has been pointed out elsewhere, with Baghdad in its hands, IS would in effect be back where the historical Caliphate left off, with territory including the storied cities of Baghdad and Damascus.

    ISIS is the Obama legacy.

    Friends do not let friends vote democratic. Especially friends of Israel!

      Yes, Obama’s pride and joy. Those he called “freedom fighters for democracy”, the Arab Spring that sprung into ISIS.

    I read an article today that made me feel hopeful. The Muslim world it seems is correcting course on their own. Obama is not succeeding to destroy our civilization yet.

    This is the second time I read this idea. I hopes its right.
