| Subject: How Obama cooks the terrorism numbers Wed Nov 25, 2015 3:12 am | |
| Barack Obama has given an eloquent testimony to a Christian faith, but his sympathies are always with Islam. He insisted from Asia that “99.9 percent of Muslims worldwide reject terrorism,” and that’s good news, if true. But it clearly is not. It is true that in the wake of the attacks on Paris an unusual number of Muslims have decried the terrorism that threatens us all. Even CAIR, the Muslim advocacy outfit that decries as a hate crime every hard look a Muslim gets anywhere, condemns the assault on Paris. It’s right to put radical Islamic terror in perspective. Muslims have fought in every American war, and 3,500 Muslims serve in the nation’s military services today. Muslim soldiers are buried with medals and honors at Arlington National Cemetery. But a president who says 99.9 percent of Muslims reject terrorism has clearly been listening too long to the evening call to Muslim prayer, which he famously called “the prettiest sound on earth.” (It’s better than rap, but not as pretty as Dvorak’s “New World Symphony,” reprising the folk music of America.) Pew Research, which is no right-wing echo chamber and polls extensively on what Muslims believe about current events, found that only 57 percent of Muslims in nine predominantly Islamic countries hold an unfavorable opinion of al Qaeda. Mathematicians, even math majors, generally regard 57 as less than 99.9.
