Obama and Islamic terrorism

*Says Hillary Clinton's Russian Counterpart, to whom 

she presented the magic "Reset" button, if you recall.

Newsmax  "President Barack Obama on Sunday said Americans would stand united and "not give in to fear or turn against each other" in the wake of a nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, that killed 50 people.

"Following is the full text of remarks, Obama delivered at the White House:

"Today, as Americans, we grieve the brutal murder - a horrific massacre - of dozens of innocent people. We pray for their families, who are grasping for answers with broken hearts. We stand with the people of Orlando, who have endured a terrible attack on their city. Although it's still early in the investigation, we know enough to say that this was an act of terror and an act of hate. And as Americans, we are united in grief, in outrage, and in resolve to defend our people." . . .

*Obama: 'No Definitive Judgment on the Precise Motivations' of Orlando Terrorist

. . . " 'We are still learning all the facts. . . . "Over the coming days, we’ll uncover why and how this happened, and we will go wherever the facts lead us.' " . . .

John Podhoretz: Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre   . . . "So determined is the president to avoid the subject of Islamist, ISIS-inspired or ISIS-directed terrorism that he concluded his remarks with an astonishing insistence that “we need the strength and courage to change” our attitudes toward the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.

"That’s just disgusting. There’s no other word for it."   . . . 

. . . "It’s the change required by the 22nd Amendment — the change that will compel Barack Obama to leave the White House on January 20, 2017 after completing his second term with America less safe than it was when he took office."

Trump to Change Speech from Clintons to Terrorism, Calls on Obama to Resign  . . . "Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen – and it is only going to get worse. I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can't afford to be politically correct anymore.' "

Obama blames 'hate’ not Islam or Jihad for Orlando nightclub massacre  There was no mention whatsoever of Islam, radical Islam, or jihad. It was purely an “act of hate” of no particular character. His statement on motivations contained lawyerly qualifications enabling him to obscure the fact that the killer shouted “Allahu Akbar     !” (“Allah is supreme!”) as he murdered. Watch at about a minute into his statement as he said,

“We have reached no definitive judgments on the precise motivations of the killer. “

Mr Obama made further reference to hate crimes, describing the gay bars as not just a night club, but an "area of solidarity and promotion of civil rights." . . .
. . . "The President also made his standard pitch regarding the easy availability of 'assault weapons." It's important to note, the shooter, had a firearms license as he worked for a security company...which means he had to undergo an extensive background check." . . .

"Nine hero officers used a 'controlled explosion' to distract the shooter before fatally shooting him and were able to rescue about 30 hostages who were hiding in the bathroom of the club. During the gunfire, an officer was shot, but he was saved by his helmet (pictured)"

Hillary Isn’t Sure 2d Amendment Is Constitutional Right, But Is Sure Abortion Is…

UPDATE: Orlando’s ‘Pulse’ Gay Bar Was a ‘Gun-Free Zone’ by State Law  . . . "The establishment was touted as “Orlando’s hottest gay bay” on its website, providing patrons with an “unforgettable night of fun and fantasy.” Domestic terrorist Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, a registered Democrat and Muslim from Port St. Lucie, killed 50 victims and wounded 53 more — all of whom were prohibited from carrying weapons to defend themselves." . . .

"Via TWS:

Hillary Clinton isn’t sure the Second Amendment is a constitutional right. But she’s sure the right to abortion is.

Speaking at a Planned Parenthood event in Washington Friday, the likely Democratic nominee called “safe and legal abortion” a “constitutional right.”

Recently, the former secretary of state was asked “if and individual’s right to bear arms is a constitutional right—that it’s not linked to service in a militia.” Clinton replied that, “if it is a constitutional right, then it like every other constitutional right is subject to reasonable regulations.”

Mass shooting and hostage taking at Orlando gay nightclub appears to be Islamic terrorism (UPDATED)

Say the words, Mr. Obama: is-lam-ic ter-ror-ism.

"This appears to be pic of the shooter, and he still has pics up on a myspace. 

Troubling, wearing NYPD clothing, we do note that such clothing can be 

bought easily." Weasel Zippers

Thomas Lifson  "If the early indications of Islamic terror being the motivation for a mass slaughter of homosexuals prove to be true, jihad should become a top concern of the LGBT political movement.  The evidence is quickly mounting that Islamic terror was at the root of shooting 20 dead (as far as is currently known) and wounding 42 others, as well as taking hostages. The UK Daily Mail reports:

A suspected Islamic extremist wielding an assault rifle and a handgun has killed about 20 people after taking party-goers hostage inside a gay nightclub in Orlando.

The gunman was carrying a suspicious device, possibly a suicide vest, when he opened fire inside Pulse in the early hours of this morning.

Orlando Police Chief John Mina said authorities have not determined the exact number of people killed, but that 'approximately 20' have died. Another 42 people were taken to hospital.

An FBI spokesman said the mass shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism. He explained authorities are looking into whether this was an act of domestic or international terror, and if the shooter was a lone wolf.

. . . "So that said is there a plausible reason for why it is that Omar Mateen targeted a gay night club for his act of religiously motivated killing?

"Yes there is! How about a religious leader, Sheikh Farrokh Sekaleshfar, calling for that to happen as the video below filmed in 2013 at the Husseini Islamic Center in Sanford, Florida shows?

"And yet Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton along with the rest of the feckless Democrats continue to refuse to utter the phrase, Islamic extremism."
