Was he saying no religion can condone killing of innocents and therefore ISIS is irreligious in general? If so, WHO IS INNOCENT? ISIS would claim only those who are muslim, or CONVERT to Islam can be innocent. They have said they have been ordered (as was Muhammad) to fight the people until they worship Allah only in the way Muhammad was ordered to (8:39). Is Obama the one to deny that is Islam? No, really, is he?
Was Obama’s statement because he is afraid of the USA being actually filled with his vision of Officer Wilson's (Ferguson, REMEMBER THAT?) and we would run amok like the bunch of crackers we really are seeking out Muslims to abuse? (P.S., THERE IS NO WAY THIS SOCIETY WOULD TOLERATE THAT, and after 9/11 we did not ..kooks were stepped on - HARD)
Why would Obama make a counterintuitve claim so breathtaking that it came out in this household as, ‘What are you going to believe Americans, me or your lying eyes?’
This assertion left everyone here looking at each other like ‘WTF?’As the first statement in this justification for what followed we had to FORCE ourselves to pay attention after that.
Whatever Barack Obama was trying to say with this assertion went right by us here in Epa-Land (also known as Norman Rockwell land).
It lands as another incomprehensible, probable self deception, to justify in his own world view why he does the things he does.
His touting of the ‘successes’ against Islamist (?) terror in Somalia nd Yemen firm up this view of his view. WHAT SUCCESSES?
If his world view is so out of sync with objective reality, then what can he be trying to achieve?

Obama believes -- more, likely, pretends -- that merely his saying so changes reality.
He uses this technique with great frequency.
Worse, people believe him! I don't get it!
what can he be trying to achieve?
One of two things, IMO:
1. His vision of a new world order.
2. The "fall" of the West.
Two more possibilities:
1. BHO is stupid
2. He is mentally ill.
I think his assertion that ISIS is not Islamic is a diplomat's way of attempting to separate the wheat from the chaff.
I think he thinks he is giving "moderates" the opportunity separate themselves from the "extremists", but saying to them, "Hey, those people are not operating according to the principles of Islam. Now, declare them un-Islamic, and let us forge a better world."
Problem with this kind of assertion is, it is magical thinking. ISIS is operating according to the principles of Islam.
And, if ISIS is to be separated from Islam, Islam itself will have to be separated from it's extremist self.
And that would require a seachange in Islam.
And that would require that MUSLIMS REDEFINE ISLAM.
We Infidels can not change Islam. We make war against it, and apply the pressure, but it is up to Muslims to define Islam.
Pasto,
Magical thinking is possible -- IF BHO is sincere.
However, we also have this matter to consider: What is BHO's definition of a better world? Is that vision in America's interest?
Quote: "His touting of the ‘successes’ against Islamist (?) terror in Somalia nd Yemen"
Stupid question, perhaps, but is there any substantiation - even from the white house - to back up this assertion?
WTH is he referring to? drone strikes in Yemen? drone strikes in Somalia?
He just told all the world that Islam is NOT a religion. Because a true religion doesn't kill innocents, but Islam does.
