This comic is naive. President Obama not only believes in radical Islam, he promotes it. Egypt, Libya, Iran, and yes, even Syria (by signalling that Assad “had to go”). You can only miss it if you try. I’m tired of conservatives lamenting his “failed policies.” They aren’t failures in his book, folks.
ISIS is losing ground. They have lost over 30 percent of the territory they initially gained. Assad is clearly just about as bad as ISIS and should be deposed. It is sad the only solution conservatives seem to like is the John Wayne approach of starting another trillion dollar, mideast war that will cost thousands of American lives and tens of thousand American injured while creating collateral damage and leaving a vacuum behind.
Calling crazy terrorists “radical Islam” gives them more power than they deserve. They do not represent Islam. But it has always been easier for Americans that are cowardly to demonize a group of people.
Hey you “Christian” people you may not believe in radical Christianity, but radical Christianity believes in you. WOW! See how spot on my post is. I nailed it. Most Republicans are naive. They not only believe in it they promote it in most of the continental united states. You can only miss it if you try. I’m tired of Democrats letting the Republican congress lying and doing nothing to improve American Society. The congress is doing a great job as far as they are concerned folks.

Well drawn…but completely over the top and frankly undeserved. I’m not at all a supporter of Obama or the Democrats. But not wanting to rush to war is not the same thing as denying the problem.
It’s not “radical” Islam. It’s “ultra conservative” Islam, acting in much the same way as our “ultra conservative” Christian folk are shooting, er… protesting, these days.
BTW, have you noticed the shift in how left wingers defend President Obama? I t used to be that he was this mighty transformative figure that would transformingly transform a transformed America, and the on to Mt. Rushmore!Now it’s, " How dare you call Obama the worst President ever! He’s…well…not the worst exactly. Some others were worse. And besides, he’s black and you’re not, so there’s that."Yep.
@ChevJamesWho was Commander-in-Chief when bin Laden was captured? Who was C-in-C when drone strikes killed terrorist leaders? As a retired military officer, aren’t you aware of these facts?
When the USSR was a major power, it supported the secular regimes in the MENA. The USSR was evil incarnate, as were the secular regimes, and, after the USSR collapsed from the righteous wrath of the Almighty, Bush, sr and jr worked to overthrow those evil regimes in the Axis of Evil..We know that the 9/11 attacks were by a company of Iraqi, Iranian, Syrian, Libyan, and Afghans who returned to heroes’ welcomes after they succeeded in their attack. Except for Afghanistan, these were all unIslamic or radical Islamic regimes who hated the US and wanted the USSR to win (Iran claims to be Islamic, but they are Shi’a, and so are NOT moderate Muslims)..https://www.cia.gov/news-information/speeches-testimony/2002/DCI_18_June_testimony_new.pdf.The good moderate Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks..Most of the Daesh (ISIS in English) are just trying (with full US support) to overthrow the evil, secular, unIslamic dictator who is crushing Islam in Syria, even allowing pagan idols to remain standing and Christians to practice their infidel faith. A few of the Daesh were enraged when the evil Obama reneged on his promise to bring Syria the same peace and prosperity and democracy that he so generously bestowed on Libya, even sacrificing the life of a US Ambassador, and in response these very few criminals in the Daesh have killed about two dozen Americans. Those criminals in the Daesh must all be neutralised, but Obama keeps dithering.
But the real answer is to insist on regime change of all secular, in fact ALL non-Wahabbi governments in the entire MENA. Only the Wahabbi sect of Islam is never radical and always peaceful. Most Wahabbi are so peaceful they are vegetarians.

Why not post cartoons about alligators in the sewers. That brand of fear mongering doesn’t contribute to the terrorist aims….
