Obama: ISIL speaks for no religion
2014-08-22
[Iran Press TV] US President Barack Obama
We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us...
says the Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
ISIL terrorist group represents no religion as a video emerges of the beheading of an American journalist by the the ISIL terrorists.

"ISIL speaks for no religion. No just God would stand for what they did yesterday, or what they do every day. No faith teaches people to murder innocents," Obama told a presser on Wednesday.

Obama's comments came shortly after the White House confirmed a gruesome video showing the beheading of James Foley by the ISIL gunnies is "authentic."

"The entire world is appalled by the brutal murder of Jim Foley," Obama said, pledging that he would "do what's necessary to see that justice is done."

The US president condemned the ISIL's actions and called for continued efforts to "confront this awful terrorism and replace it with a sense of hope and civility."

ISIL said 40-year-old Foley, who had gone missing in Syria nearly two years ago, was decapitated in reprisal for ongoing US Arclight airstrikes against their forces in Iraq.

The terrorist group posted a gruesome video on social media on Tuesday titled "A Message to America."

UN Secretary General the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon
... of whom it can be said to his credit that he is not Kofi Annan...
also released a statement, saying that he "condemns in the strongest terms the horrific murder" of Foley.

Ban described the murder as an "abominable crime that underscores the campaign of terror" of the ISIL, saying, "The perpetrators of this and other such horrific crimes must be brought to justice."

#18  The Messenger surely is fuming:
"They try to promote my communion,
But Western dumbasses
Must need better glasses...
Perhaps I should try Western Union."

#15  War hammers everyone. When Islam killed thousands of innocents in New York City using airplanes full of innocents on 9/11, we shifted the war to their turf, jerk.

#14  O said that no religion allows the murder of innocents. That much is true. The problem is in the definition of "innocent". To ISIS, "innocent" means one of them. Everyone one else is by definition guilty.

#10  However, “Gun-Toting, Bible Thumping, Bitter People”, need close watching (by the IRS, ATF, FBI, et al).

#9  You don't bring 20,000 fanatical jihadi "to justice". It's a waste of time and money - to say nothing of dealing with all the lefties who will obstruct that "justice".

No, you exterminate them militarily. That's the only thing that will resolve the conflict.

#8  No faith teaches people to murder innocents

There's so many ways one can parse that...

#7  Typical leftist arrogance. These people don't give others the respect of believing what they say.

They laugh off and poo-poo any threat that goes counter to their Kumbaya narrative about the noble savages, peace love and US evil.

Disgusting...............again.

#4  for at least some lefties, this narrative must be getting hard to keep saying with a straight face given that there are so many murderous Islamic groups and so many other oppressive ones

No mention of an unjust God or phony religion. His wedding band must be speaking to him again.
