Obama Challenged by Gold Star Mom on Refusing to Talk About Islamic Terror
September 29, 2016 – Daniel Greenfield
Obama refuses to discuss Islamic terrorism. Instead he whitewashes it. Now a Gold Star Mom called him out on it.
President Barack Obama sparred with CNN host Jake Tapper in a tense exchange over Obama’s refusal to use the phrase “radical Islamic terrorism.”
During a CNN town-hall event focusing on the US military, Gold Star mother Tina Houchins asked Obama why he won’t use the term.
TINA HOUCHINS: Hi, Mr. President. As a gold star mother, my son gave his life for acts of terrorism. Do you still believe that the acts of terrorism are done for the self-proclaimed Islamic religious motive? And if you do, why do you still refuse to use the term… Islamic terrorist?
