TYT: Right Wingers Crave Religious War And HATE Obama For Denying Them



"Bill O’Reilly tonight said that by not showing a willingness to say “radical Islam” in public, President Obama and those who agree with him are putting the U.S. in “grave danger.” O’Reilly claimed to know exactly why no one in the Obama administration will use that phrase in reference to the Paris attack or other acts of terrorism.

He cited recent comments by WaPo columnist David Ignatius about how the real change is going to come from within Islam, not through military might or government pressure. O’Reilly said this “naive and somewhat frightening” assessment is precisely what Obama thinks."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

I live in a university town with many foreign students, many of them from Mid East and Muslim (quite a few E. O. Catholics, as well). I've had the opportunity to get to know and like many of these families. The area is liberal enough that the kids don't make fun of the girls' head scarfs, or the fact that most of the boys are named "Mohamed." Multi-cultural learning is encouraged. This would seem to be increasingly the case, with hope for future generations. Why should O'Reilly and his ilk be encouraging religious warfare? There are enough radicals in every religion. They should be the enemies of every critical thinker.
