FOX News: Obama unleashes on GOP critics over 'radical Islam' term
After years of brushing off criticism for avoiding the term “radical Islam,” President Obama fired a point-blank broadside Tuesday at his critics, calling the debate a “political distraction” that will do nothing to combat terrorism.
Speaking from the White House during what was expected to be an update for the public on the fight against the Islamic State, Obama lit into his critics and specifically presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. Their criticism has mounted in the wake of the Orlando terror attack, which Obama declined to publicly link to radical Islam.
“Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away. … There’s no magic to the phrase of radical Islam,” Obama countered Tuesday. “It’s a political talking point.”
The president faced swift pushback from Republicans on Capitol Hill.

WNU Editor: This issue has clearly gotten under the skin of US President Obama .... but attacking Donald Trump on his use of the term "radical Islam" is missing the bigger picture. The fact is that many Muslim countries follow sharia law .... and much of sharia law is opposite to what Western culture and its laws stand for. The role and treatment of women in society, the brutal treatment of LGBT communities, the brutal and discriminatory treatment of other religions and non-believers, the role of Jihad in Islam, .... this clash of civilisations has been ongoing for centuries .... the only difference from then to now is that it is happening here. Case in point, we are seeing it in London today .... Feminism or Islam? Sadiq Khan’s ban on ‘body shaming’ ads gets mixed reaction (RT) .... and if you think that London Mayor Sadiq Khan is going to stop with just this ban .... this is an easy prediction .... he is just starting.

Oh no, an unholy alliance of feminism and Islam.
I don't know Editor,
There's a lot of speculation here.
Frankly, the whole thing is ridiculous regardless what side your on.
Incidentally, how many children go to bed hungry in London every night? I wonder if self consciousness about their ribcages showing is a form of "body shame" or "insecurity"
What's the unemployment rate in London??
Seems to me feminist-sharia has a lot more in common with "western" values than we are led to believe. Especially when it comes to promoting bullshit as opposed to dealing with people's material well being.
Ooo!

If Obama is not the ultimate American Leftist he is the penultimate American Leftist.
As such as Leftism fares, he will fare.
Nothing the Leftists say makes sense.
