Islam is not a government, it is a religion. Practitioners of Islam are called Islamic or Muslim. Islamic people that wish for their government to be based on their religion are called Theocratic.
Islam (/ˈɪslɑːm/;[note 1] Arabic: الإسلام, al-ʾIslām IPA: [alʔisˈlaːm] ( listen)[note 2]) is a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion articulated by the Qur'an, a religious text considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of God (Allāh), and, for the vast majority of adherents, by the teachings and normative example (called the sunnah, composed of accounts called hadith) of Muhammad (c. 570–8 June 632 CE). An adherent of Islam is called a Muslim (sometimes spelled "Moslem").[1] Muslims believe that God is one and incomparable[2] and that the purpose of existence is to worship God.[3] Nearly all Muslims consider Muhammad to be the last prophet of God.

People defend Islam when there's a terrorist attack committed by people who claim to be Muslim because when it happens the whole religion comes under attack. Obama is just a hypocrite mouthing words the rest of us defending Islam actually feel. If he actually wanted to protect and defend Muslims he'd change his Middle East strategy.

You have Governments in the Middle East that our stuck in the 6th Century and run their Governments based on a Religion from the 6th century.

This is a recipe for disaster and you have Muslims growing up that are hostile to the modern world.

We need to brutally attack ISIS.

There then needs to be a summit with world leaders and we have to demand that some Middle East Countries become more modern.

We're on the verge of technologies that can kill 100,000 people at a time not 50. We can't have apart of the world that's still stuck in the 6th Century.

Again, Obama is defending the Religion of Islam and it makes no sense.

Where are all of these Muslims being beheaded, burned alive and skinned alive by Americans?

This also occurred when the Catholic Church was the power behind Governments in Europe. These Countries were trying to run their Governments based on dictates from the Pope and it was chaos. You eventually had the Reformation, Enlightenment and then America.

So of course you say Radical Islam and people are not so stupid that they don't understand that radical Islam doesn't mean all Muslims.

This is a war against the Islamic State not the Religion of Islam. All Christians or Catholics weren't fanatics but should we wipe the words Christian and Catholic out of the History books when we talk about the Crusades or the Spanish Inquisition? Obama would never make this argument but this is the argument he's making about Islam today. His whole speech was a defense of Islam the Religion and nobodies talking about going to war on a Religion.
Separate thread but there are 3 300 000 muslims in America or 1 per cent of the population 350,000 of them are in the prison system or 20 per cent of that population where they recruit about 40,000 per year...yes theres an issue there with these people having access to weapons also
Islamic state or Islamic theocracies
An Islamic state is a state that has adopted Islam, specifically Sharia, as its foundations for political institutions, or laws, exclusively, and has implemented the Islamic ruling system khilafah (Arabic: خلافة), and is therefore a theocracy. Although there is much debate as to which states or groups operate strictly according to Islamic Law, Sharia is the official basis for state laws in the following countries: Afghanistan, Iran, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Yemen. In Nigeria, the constitution provides that states may elect to use Shari'a laws and courts, though non-Muslims are not required in any state to submit to Shari'a jurisdiction and adherence varies by state.[12]

There isn't any Christian or Jewish Governments. There's just Islamic Governments who want the world to bow down to Islam.
Either you don't know your history or your being willfully ignorant like Obama.
Islam isn't just a Religion. Islam is a Government.
Catholocism isn't just a Religion but a Government
They happen to be one of the largest if not the largest VOTING block in this country.
If anyone needs to stop being so 'fragile' it's 'muslims'. After all a person that called themselves one of those just recently shot up a gay nightclub.
