President Obama addressed the nation Sunday night in response to the recent San Bernardino terrorist attacks, and as expected, Obama refused to name radical Islam as the source of the attack.
Obama opened up with by stating something historically inaccurate, saying that the U.S. has only been at war with terrorism since 9/11.Our nation has been at war with terrorist since Al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 Americans on 9/11
Obama seems to have forgotten about the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993, the attack against the USS Cole, the embassy bombings in Africa, as well as a number of smaller attacks committed against U.S. interests by radical Islamists since the early 1990’s.

Obama then kind of blames the Fort Hood shooting, which was committed by a radicalized Muslim soldier, on terrorism, moving away the narrative that the attack was a result for workplace violence.
Terrorist turn to less complicated acts of violence like the mass shootings that are all too common in our society. It is this type of attack that we saw at Fort Hood in 2009, in Chattanooga earlier this year, and now in San Bernardino.
We see growing interests by terrorists to poison the minds like Boston Marathon bombers and the San Bernardino killers.
Really? These radicalized Muslims were mere bombers and killers?
Obama used the attack in San Bernardino to push for a ban on “assault weapons.”
We have to make it harder for people to buy powerful assault weapons, like the ones used in San Bernardino.
The president then ended his address with a lengthy lecture of how Americans should not blame Islam for the acts of terror, saying that the ISIL is just a bunch of “thugs and killers” that do “not speak for Islam,” and only make up a “tiny fraction” of more than a billion Muslims around the world.
We cannot turn on one another by letting this fight be defined as a war between America and Islam. ISIL does not speak for Islam. They are thugs and killers, part of a cult of death.
