Obama’s White House just pronounced that the radical Muslims who attacked a Kosher supermarket in Paris last month had merely committed a “random attack” that had nothing to do with Islam.
This just fits perfectly with Obama’s idiotic refusal to say that terrorism is a result of Islamic extremism.
President Obama referred to the Islamic terrorists who killed several French Jews last month as people who “randomly shoot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris” in an interview with liberal website Vox.com. In Tuesday’s press briefing, ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl asked White House press secretary Josh Earnest to clarify the president’s position on the terrorists’ motivation to attack the kosher supermarket.
“Does the president have any doubt that those terrorists attack that deli because there would be Jews in that deli?” Karl asked.
“It is clear from the terrorists and the writings that they put out afterward what their motivation was,” Earnest responded. “The adverb that the president chose was used to indicate that the individuals who were killed in that terrible, tragic incident were killed not because of who they were but because of where they randomly happened to be.”
“These individuals were not targeted by name,” Earnest added.
“Not by name, but by religion, were they not?” Karl asked.
“There were people other than just Jews who were in that deli,” Earnest said.
After Karl asked again if there was any doubt by the president that the shop was attacked because of the likelihood the terrorists would be able to kill Jews, Earnest finally said, “No.”
A random attack? Come on! Be serious!
