I'm guessing the vast majority of you who came here reading the headline are extremely curious as to how an administration seemingly hell-bent on protecting the reputation of Islam could openly call for the ideology to be banished. It's true the White House just released a statement claiming the Islam ideology should be banished. The part that I left out of the headline is that the White House just doesn't admit that Islam is the ideology that should be banished.
Here's the White House statement in full.
Today, we join the people of Jordan in grieving the loss of one of their own, First Lieutenant Moaz al-Kasasbeh, cruelly and brutally killed by ISIL terrorists. On behalf of the American people, I offer my deepest condolences to Lieutenant al-Kasasbeh’s family and loved ones, to the brave men and women of the Jordan Armed Forces, and to King Abdullah II and the people of Jordan.
Lieutenant al-Kasasbeh will forever personify the bravery of a true son of Jordan, one who honored his family and country by his seven years of military service. Along with his compatriots and other Arab and international members of the coalition, Lieutenant al-Kasasbeh was in the vanguard of the effort to degrade and defeat the threat posed by ISIL.
Lieutenant al-Kasasbeh’s dedication, courage, and service to his country and family represent universal human values that stand in opposition to the cowardice and depravity of ISIL, which has been so broadly rejected around the globe. As we grieve together, we must stand united, respectful of his sacrifice to defeat this scourge. Today, the coalition fights for everyone who has suffered from ISIL’s inhumanity. It is their memory that invests us and our coalition partners with the undeterred resolve to see ISIL and its hateful ideology banished to the recesses of history.
Bold emphasis mine.
As I posted earlier, Obama refuses to admit that the "Islamic State" is, in fact, Islamic in his statements about the terror murder of a Jordanian pilot.
Let's look at some facts here.
- ISIS follows the holy Quran and uses its message to justify its actions
- ISIS, by definition, is Islamic
- ISIS actually referenced a document from their prophet Muhammad in justifying the burning of the pilot
- ISIS is made up of solely Muslims
- ISIS has declared jihad against anyone who is not a Muslim
So yes, if Obama is calling for the end to the ideology behind ISIS, he is, in fact, calling for an end to Islam. Of course we all know that's not what he really wants.
