Living History

President Obama is now pushing for the USA to fight the supposed root causes of Islamic terrorism (excuse me, violent extremism) by providing jobs to Islamic communities in nations around the world.  Every time I look at this subject, learn something new.  Sunnis are fighting Shiites in Syria.  That has been happening for the last 1400 years.  Who knew the battle was not religious, but rather was about job security?  Moslems in Syria, Iraq, Egypt and Libya have been killing and persecuting Christians and other religious minorities.  That has been happening for many decades.  Does no one remember when the Moslem Turks killed 1.5 million Christian Armenians just 100 years ago?  It now seems that the slaughter of so many Armenians was most likely a protest over low wage jobs in Turkey.  Who knew?  Islamic communities in the Middle East have been attacking Jews since the 1920s on a continuous basis.  I have to admit that I am surprised to learn that those 8000 missiles fired by Hamas last summer into Israel all had job applications attached to them.  It might have been easier to send an email, but I guess the explosives on the missiles were just a way to get their resumes noticed.  Then there is the so-called Arab Spring.  Suddenly, we learn all those protests were really just a job fair.  I did not know that!  And how about the beheadings of hostages by ISIS shown on the internet?  I had thought these were cold blooded murders but now I have learned from our president that they were really training for jobs in the local butcher shop.

We all ought to be thankful that we have such an insightful leader.

Typical Obama. His solution is actually an International JOB FAIR. Only a community organizer could come up with such a blatantly laughable solution!!!
