What is Obama's definition of "extremist"….or even "violent extremist?
What is Obama's definition of "terrorist"….
And, what is his definition of "Alleged"
[If a group of people see someone in an airline seat, who sets himself on fire, hoping to catch the airplane on fire, is he an "extremist" or is he a "terrorist" hoping to murder nearly 300 people? And was that an ALLEGED sighting, or was it a REAL, HONEST TO GOODNESS, SIGHT and FIRE YOUR EYES JUST SAW??
There may be some in the US that believe as Jim Jones did, but don't take action on their beliefs. Is he an extremist, or a terrorist? Of course, he is an extremist. He didn't do anyone any harm but himself.
He is a terrorist IMO if he captures innocent people forceably, terrorises them, and kills one or all of them.
The head of Al-Qaeda has declared war on the US and on the countries in this world who don't adhere to Islam….and he is willing to train others of the same belief how to kill those who don't agree with them or the cause they espouse. He and those that follow him are terrorists when they kill innocent people, IMO.]
White House
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
December 28, 2009
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT ON THE ATTEMPTED ATTACK ON CHRISTMAS DAY AND RECENT VIOLENCE IN IRAN
Kaneohe Bay Marine Base, Kaneohe, Hawaii
>>>>>s what we know so far. On Christmas Day, Northwest Airlines Flight 253 was en route from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Detroit. As the plane made its final approach to Detroit Metropolitan Airport, a passenger allegedly tried to ignite an explosive device on his body, setting off a fire.
Thanks to the quick and heroic actions of passengers and crew, the suspect was immediately subdued, the fire was put out, and the plane landed safely. The suspect is now in custody and had been charged with attempting to destroy an aircraft. And a full investigation has been launched into this attempted act of terrorism and we will not rest until we find all who were involved and hold them accountable.<<<<<
>>>>Third, I've directed my national security team to keep up the pressure on those who would attack our country. We do not yet have all the answers about this latest attempt, but those who would slaughter innocent men, women and children must know that the United States will do more than simply strengthen our defenses -- we will continue to use every element of our national power to disrupt, to dismantle, and defeat the violent extremists who threaten us -- whether they are from Afghanistan or Pakistan, Yemen or Somalia, or anywhere where they are plotting attacks against the U.S. homeland. <<<<<
