And here's a longer quote from Clinton.

The bottom line is that we are in a contest of ideas against an ideology of hate, and we have to win.

Let’s be clear, though, Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people, and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.

The obsession in some quarters with a clash of civilization, or repeating the specific words radical Islamic terrorism isn’t just a distraction, it gives these criminals, these murderers more standing than they deserve. It actually plays into their hands by alienating partners we need by our side.

Do we want 1.6 billion people as our enemy or a few thousand ISIS terrorists who would claim to represent those billion?

"We can absorb a terrorist attack."
--- Buraq Obama

As the families of the dead and maimed in London are busy absorbing, I simply remind the reader that platitudex from persons living behind walls and an armed phalanx of grim defenders actually mean "you" when they say "we".

And from a theological perspective, it's a shame that more Muslims aren't exposed to the Meditations of Ulama Obama and Clinton.

TW: "We can absorb a terrorist attack." --- Barack Obama

I'm confused. Would it be better if Obama had said "We can't absorb a another terrorist attack"?

"Woodward's book portrays Obama and the White House as barraged by warnings about the threat of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil and confronted with the difficulty in preventing them. During an interview with Woodward in July, the president said, 'We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever . . . we absorbed it and we are stronger.' "

I believe the next biggest terrorist attack on US soil might be the Oklahoma bombing. Timothy McVeigh was born in upstate New York. Perhaps if we just drop enough bombs on his home town, they'll stop producing terrorists?

Yes. But that would have been intolerant and required action.

Have no fear, England... Justin Bieber is on his way.

:-D

That should work out about as well as Sec "Lurch" Kerry's deployment of James Taylor to Paris.

I'm waiting for the "action." All we have so far is a badly planned "Muslim ban" that isn't a Muslim ban, but a 90-day 6 majority-muslim-country travel ban, that was blocked by the courts as a Muslim ban.

A gunman also stormed a casino hotel resort in Manila Friday and set fire to a hotel while attempting to steal nearly $2 million in gaming chips. He engaged casino workers in a firefight and then appears to have killed himself. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, which killed nearly 40 people. All casualties in the attack were caused by smoke inhalation by fire.

This doesn't sound like a terrorist. ISIS must be really desparate.

As I said before...

We'll win this when we link up with the Indian army on the Indus River and plant the American flag on the ruins of the Kaaba in Mecca. Anything else is just bullshit.
