Did the White House Censor “Islamist Terrorism” from French President’s Speech?
Pretending radical Islamic terrorism doesn’t exist does not make it so
President Obama has long refused to concede that modern terror attacks are largely perpetrated by radical Muslims.
But has the White House taken the terrorism white washing a step further?
MRCTV reported that a video posted by the White House appears to edit out “Islamist Terrorism” from a recent speech given by French President Francois Hollande. While the words are in the speech transcript, they’ve been noticeably scrubbed from the video.
Craig Bannister for MRCTV blogs:
According to the official White House transcript of Hollande’s remarks, Hollande refers to “Islamist terrorism.” The audio of the bold text in brackets is missing from the video – the only point in the video were the audio is absent:
“We are also making sure that between Europe and the United States there can be a very high level coordination.
“But we’re also well aware that the roots of terrorism, [Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq. We therefore have to act both in Syria and in Iraq, and this is what we’re doing within the framework of the coalition.] And we note that Daesh is losing ground thanks to the strikes we’ve been able to launch with the coalition.”
From the White House transcript:
UPDATE:
“Technical issues.” Riiiiiigght.

Who we gonna believe, Obama or our own lying ears?
Ça n’est vaux pas ! Mais, c’est normal pour Obama.
That’s not fair! But, it is normal for Obama.
I think we are getting into Shakespeare country here. You know the line where he says “Thou doth protest too much”.To go to this extreme shows that this is an obsession with obama. The man is bordering on looney.
Bordering? In a just society, he would be locked up for his multiple psychological disorders, not the least of which is his refusal to see the world as it is.
The issue is if the terrorists can be classified as a diversity class on the basis of commonly held Islamic principles. Mr. Pro-choice or Selective principles in Chief doesn’t believe in that particular class diversity grouping.
That said, if we have in fact entered a pro-choice, pro-choice, pro-choice, pro-choice world that is instructed by gods from the twilight zone, or in modern jurisprudence: “emanations from a penumbra”, then he is correct to criticize the predictive and unifying nature of principles, including those that form the foundation of religious/moral philosophies and ideologies.
It’s a progressive slope that every civilization, eventually, inevitably, seems to follow.
Gee..who would have thought that this administration would ever do such a thing? Golly. I am so shocked!

So, he censored French President Francois Hollande. “What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?” MSM will never report it. The vast majority of America will never find out- unless it goes viral on facebook. What French President Francois Hollande said would never be reported in the MSM in any event.
Let’s face it- the whole thing never really happened at all, any of it.
Huh? What didn’t happen?
Exactly.
The French president never uttered the phrase “Islamic terrorism.” Update all relevant historical documents immediately.

Somebody please tell Obama that it’s ok to mention Islamist terrorism. When it’s finally showing up in the Arab press, the US can surely acknowledge it.
Arab Press: We Muslims Curse Europeans as Racists, Then Blow Up Airports

“In the wake of the Brussels attacks, the Arab press has been awash with explosive articles acknowledging the Muslim world’s responsibility for global terror. ”
“The views expressed by writers from Kuwait to Jordan to Saudi Arabia represent a brutal reckoning with the Arab and Islamic world’s failure to create a single normal country, to accept the fact that all terrorists are Muslim, and its insistence that terror is simply the result of Western racism, colonialism, and marginalization. “
I would like to have believed this was an April Fool’s gag..but sadly, the fools in the White House thought that altering to public record would go unnoticed.
Yes, it was a issue technical. The technical term is lie by omission.
I understand their motivation, but the execution is so clumsy as to totally defeat the effort. If they’d simply let the unacceptable (to them) term pass, nobody would have said a word. Now the censorship is on everyone’s radar.
Show us on the doll where the bad man hurt you when he said Islamic Terrorist.
Obama: Right here – ( * )
