NY Post Goes All-Out in Bashing Obama’s ‘Blindness’ on Islamic Extremism

In response to President Barack Obama‘s lack of insistence that the religion of Islam fueled the actions of extremist groups such as ISIS — and hence failed to call them “Islamic extremists” — the New York Post printed this:

During a speech at a White House Summit on Countering Violent Extremism, Obama had continued to insist that he would not call the groups “Islamic” extremists. “We must never accept the premise that they put forward because it is a lie,” Obama said yesterday. “Nor should we grant these terrorists the legitimacy they seek. They are not religious leaders, they are terrorists. We are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam.”

Needless to say, a bunch of other people disagree with that premise.
