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

Obama: “No foreign terrorist organization” has attacked in US during my tenure

Dec 7, 2016 10:24 am By Robert Spencer

“Over last eight years, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland.”

This completely ignores the fact that the Islamic State has repeatedly called for attacks by so-called “lone wolves,” i.e., people who are not in touch with the organization but who are inspired to act by its calls for jihad mass murder, to attack inside the United States. We have seen jihad massacres in San Bernardino, Orlando and elsewhere plotted or committed by Muslims who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. But now we see one of the strategies behind Obama’s consistent denial of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror attacks, and his classification of the Fort Hood jihad massacre as “workplace violence,” etc.: now he can claim that while he was President, there weren’t any jihad terror attacks.

“Obama: Terrorist Orgs Have Not ‘Successfully Planned And Executed’ Attack On US During My Tenure,” by Russ Read, Daily Caller, December 6, 2016:

President Barack Obama used the last national security speech of his tenure to review his legacy, specifically the claim that he prevented terrorists from planning and executing an attack on U.S. soil.

“Over last eight years, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland,” said Obama, while speaking to troops at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla.

Obama’s assertion appears to focus on the more conventional al-Qaida-model of terrorist attacks. He did not take into account unconventional approach of the Islamic State, and the attacks its approach has inspired over the last two years.

Several successful terrorist attacks, including those in San Bernardino, Orlando and the New York metropolitan area, were carried out after ISIS propaganda radicalized American netizens….

      By enforced re-definition, the Obama vocabulary ensured that no government nor news agencies may link acts of terrorism with Islam – apparently describing these attacks as nothing more than Domestic Violence – legally speaking.

    That explains why the media always calls them lone wolves and makes the story disappear after 3 days. Not a word about San Bernardino any longer.

    because you have redefined the terms, even dubya bush managed to redefine torture. US presidents can do anything in their tenure. Just watch out obama prosecution might be following you, when you are out.

    Thinking that it still isn’t fully certain that the next president actually will be the winner of the election and the last decades’ situation will just drag on gives me sleepless nights.

    “Over last eight years, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland.”

    Not for want of trying, eh? What a despicable cynic. And I thought Bill Clinton was the master of twisting words to his advantage. Not even close.

    Incorrect. ISIS has attacked the USA at least three times since you have been president. There has been one islamic terrorist attack world wide every 39 hours and approximately one islamic terrorist attack in the USA every 7-9 months of Obama’s presidency.

    Obama is such a failure at anti terrorism he doesn’t even realize 9/11 and pulse nightclub attacks were brought about by the same ideology found expresssly in the koran. He has set back the nation decades by stripping islamic information from US counter terrorism training manuals. Obama is unpragmatic and ineffective.

    Obama shall be known as the president under which islamic terrorism flourished.

      To American Pragmatism, who sez of Obama “…he doesn’t even realize 9/11 and pulse nightclub attacks were brought about by the same ideology found expresssly in the koran.”

      Beg to differ. No way does he “not realize.” I don’t see how you can give him this much of a benefit of a doubt if you just think for a moment how consistent and aggressive his actions and policy and support have been since even before he took office the first time. His association with the Muslim Brotherhood, his trying to install them in Egypt. I could go on for pages and pages of examples which prove to me beyond a reasonable doubt that this man knows what he is doing.

      And, rather than “unpragmatic and ineffective”, I believe he has been phenomenally successful at achieving his stated goal to “fundamentally change America”, including immigration policies which put all Americans at risk of life and limb.and socialist policies that promise to break the economy.

      As for removing all reference to Islam, jihad, muslims in training materials for law enforcement at all levels from local cop to CIA, I can only say this is appalling, beyond belief. Then I start sputtering. I remember when this happened, and it was like falling down the rabbit hole.

      Otherwise, I agree with your points, and thanks for the stats.

      Cheers!

    They may not be considered *foreign* when they are standing on the land where they have been given citizenship, but the whole truth is….they have been invited in and given citizenship so they may remain and carry out attacks.

    When one tells the untruth in language meant to deceive the listener, it is called lying.

    An organization requires a charter, and members. There is no charter because the Holy Ko-Ran doesn’t exist, at least not the parts that command violence and world takeover. There are no members because the mass murders are Lone Wolves who don’t read the char, er, Holy Ko-Ran, at least not the parts that command violence and world takeover. They acted alone, it’s a matter of scale. Small scale is the new normal, and Obama is to be commended for holding the tide the past 8 yrs.

      What do you expect from a moslim, choom smoking, coke sniffing, community organizing, illegitimate offspring of a dyspeptic 18-year-old female by the name of Stanley, likely knocked up by bi-sexual, communist agitator and pornographer, Frank Marshall Davis to act like?

      The traitorous creep had no qualifications prior to becoming POTUS through election rigging.

      I enjoin Trump to unseal Soetoro’s currently sealed records as a first act of Government in January, 2017, in order the expose the bastard for what he is.

    Obama has set America up for Islamic attacks from within, setting the theme for MORE attacks within our nation, would love to see Trump arrest Obama for treason/ bringing in Muslims without vetting, instant citizenship and so forth, Obama is an enemy of the nation and needs to be handled as such as soon as Trump takes the oath and is the new President legally: arrest Obama, send him to gitmo.

    How fitting that someone who lied his way into power (“hope and change” my ass) leaves power with a lie…

    No, wait, he actually delivered on the “change” part – he never said the change was for the better…

    His statement is part of a Dem strategy to de-link in people’s minds Muslim immigration from Muslim terrorism. He’s trying to sell the American people on the idea that new immigration restrictions are not needed, because foreign Muslims supposedly have not engaged in terror attacks. I’ve noticed that often when I’ve argued online for immigration limits on Muslims, somebody will reply that the terrorist attacks were not done by immigrant Muslims. My response is, that’s about as clever as saying, “Your curtains are on fire, so there’s no point in canceling that delivery of gasoline to your house. So I suspect Obama’s statement is part of a Dem strategy to keep flooding the country with new Dem Muslim voters, even if it means importing huge numbers of members of an expansionist totalitarian cult seeking to impose itself on everyone, and even if it brings with it jihadists who are going to commit mass murder.

    What Obama said reminds me of how laughable it is when I see “gluten free” labels on the most sugar-laden, unhealthy food… Those gluten free soda labels are at least truthful from a certain perspective…

    I can’t wait for this king of all deluded liars to leave office.

    Obama’s comment ‘No foreign terrorist organization’ has attacked in US during my tenure reminds me that the average IQ of immigrants from Kenya stands at 80. This would put Obama at the “dullness” in intelligence level.

    It’s more than clear to anyone capable of objective thought that Obama is in full sympathy with Islam above any other religion.

    He finds it intolerable that Islam is blamed for anything, or is even spoken of in a negative way.

    Even if not true in a formal sense, Obama is quite obviously a Moslem. He has consistently revealed his Islamic loyalties.

  23. Gray says

    Dec 8, 2016 at 4:05 am

    So there hasn’t been any terrorist attacks on US soil during Obama’s presidency. But, under international law, embassies are regarded as being situated upon the territory of the foreign country concerned, aren’t they? If so, wasn’t Benghazi really an attack on US soil?

    Obama, taqqiya piece of crap. What about the guy who walked in to Macy’s, WA and asked people if they were Muslim and if they weren’t he shot to kill them? Or the guy who did the same with a knife at the mall in MN? Or the 50 people who got shot up in Florida. Obama, America is in the worst shape it has ever been in, in my life and I am more unsafe than I have ever been in my entire life. I blame the decisions of my government, which is Obama. The person who signed more Executive Orders without anyone else’s approval during his time in office. A pedophile who uses $65K of the taxpayers $$$ to fly in “hot dogs” – when NO OUTSIDE FOOD IS ALLOWED IN THE WH!!! Burn in HELL, you DEMON, Obama
