Obama urges Americans not to 'stigmatize' Muslims in wake of Brussels

President Obama is right about not stigmatizing Muslims. But it smacks of hypocrisy. He certainly has no qualms about stigmatizing and marginalizing his political opponents, with mischaracterizations and misrepresentations..

LTC Jason Bartlett Not only does this seem rife with hypocrisy, but he has stigmatized so many. The group which always comes to mind with me are law enforcement officers. The Honorable President Obama has come down on the ill informed and wrong side of almost every issue where he has interjected himself pertaining to potential law enforcement misconduct. After all of his hypocritical behavior, he always bloviates about protecting Muslims. While I agree that characterizing all Muslim's as terrorists would be a mistake, identifying our enemy is tantamount to building a viable strategy and ultimately defeating them. If you cannot identify the enemy as "radical Islamic" how can you fully appreciate the tactics and history of the conflict? For a Constitutional attorney he truly amazes me, and not in a good way.

Why is that when police officers shoot someone or are involved in certain situations he (Obama) and others are quick to criticize and condemn law enforcement, yet when Muslims behead, set on fire, and bomb individuals in public places, with intent to kill, he says don't stigmatize Muslims. Many of the police shootings are accidental (not all), but the terrorist main objective to purposeful and to kill.

I agree with you, MAJ Jason Bartlett! This is a double standard! We need a change in the White House. We need someone to reinstall our Christian values, unite this Nation, respect law enforcement, and stop race baiting. Unfortunately, I do not believe any of those running for presidency are qualified or capable of accomplishing this objective or uniting the people.

What happen to the days when politicians served the people? Career politician have taken control of our Country and side with big money corporations and their interests. Power changes people and sometimes they forget they work for the people, not corporate America. A good leader is able to deliberately create challenging results by enlisting the help of others. This administration has created such a big divide in this Country. We need a leader that will stand up for and respect our military, law enforcement, Christian values, and the wishes of the people of the United States.
