Even after Danish police called the recent attacks against Jews in Copenhagen as being “terrorist” acts, President Obama has yet to make a statement condemning deadly attacks carried out by obvious Islamists.
The State Department has denounced the attacks, but Obama has stayed silent. Obama’s silence comes a week after he stated that the Jewish deli shooting in Paris was a “random act” of crime, and not a planned terrorist attack against Jews, even as Islamists who helped carry out the attack stated that the deli attack Jews was planned.Here is more on the attacks in Copenhagen:

A statement from investigators says the two “are charged with helping the perpetrator with advice and deeds.” The defense attorney for one of the two suspects, Michael Juul Eriksen, told public broadcaster DR that the two were accused of giving the gunman shelter and getting rid of a weapon.
The gunman, whose identity has not been confirmed, was shot and killed by a SWAT team early Sunday near a train station in the Danish capital. The previous afternoon, police say, he had opened fire at a cafe hosting a free speech discussion with a Swedish artist known for drawing images of the Muslim prophet Muhammad.Several hours later, police say, the man opened fire on security forces outside a synagogue approximately two miles away. The shootings killed two people, a Danish filmmaker and a member of the city’s Jewish community, and wounded five others.
Police say the gunman had a history of violence and may have been inspired by Islamic terrorists, as well as by last month’s deadly attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris.
