No just God would stand for what [ISIS] did yesterday [by beheading the American journalist James Foley] and what they do every single day. (Barack Obama, 2014 August 20)
I've been listening to the speech by President Obama in which he commented on the murder of James Foley by ISIS. The speech was full of references to religion and to God. Historically, that rarely bodes well; and this speech was no exception. Obama's words were loaded with implications and innuendos that are not just biased or bizarre but even fanatical. When Obama expresses and exploits religious prejudices, does he effectively distinguish himself from those whom he would condemn?
