“This is an attack not just on Paris, it’s an attack not just on the people of France, but this is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share,” – President Obama hours after the terrorist attacks in Paris began unfolding.
The full statement by the president at first sounds lofty, courageous and dedicated to U.S. resolve in fighting the scourge that afflicted the City of Lights.
A closer analysis, however, reveals that it is empty hypocritical posturing designed to deceive the American public and feed his politically correct allies in the media their narrative.
First, it was not an attack on “all of humanity and the universal values we share,” as Obama claimed. It was an attack by Islamists who do not share “our universal values” on its infidel enemies.
Second, wouldn’t it have been appropriate for him to have issued a similar type of unequivocal condemnation of terrorism and his strong affiliation with Israel’s commitment to fight against extremism when it began experiencing its most recent wave of massive attacks? After all, just as he expressed the close alliance between the U.S. and France in vowing to attack the terrorists who struck, the President also reiterated the “extraordinary bond between the United States and Israel” during last week’s meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and pledged to protect Israeli security.
Really?Let’s roll the tape.
When Palestinian terrorists began shooting and killing Israelis in every corner of their country, the Obama administration outrageously issued a contrived, evenhanded statement calling on both Israel and the Palestinians to reduce the violence. Perhaps—to be consistent with his so-called unequivocal views against terrorism expressed on Friday—he should have called on both France and ISIS to mutually reduce the violence.

ISIS may be in the headlines, but earlier today Boko Haram passed them as the most violent terrorist organization. I believe their body count is around 8000 over the last year. ISIS killed slightly less people than that. For perspective, Boko Haram is killing about 22 people per day on average, over the last year. ISIS consisted of maybe 300 people two years ago and now has an estimated force of 33,000.
WWII last about five years. On average, 25,000 people were killed every 24 hours for those five years. That's well over 50,000,000 people killed. Stalin murdered an estimated 20,000,000 Russians. Mao murdered an estimated 40,000,000 Chinese.
More people in the U.S. die from obesity each year than are killed by ISIA and Boko Haram combined. Cancer, diabetes, and drunk drivers are most likely to kill anyone of us. Unless you are a smoker.
I agree that the world needs to fight terrorists. Maybe the secret is to build them fast food restaurants and let them kill themselves with high-fat foods. It's sort of what is happening to people living in China. They got addicted to Kentucky Fired Chicken. Now they are becoming obese and diabetic.

Sydlit, I'm thankful for everything you share and I'm proud to call you, Brother! 
But I'm not anybody, brother, it's an honor to have friends and family like you! And don't forget...Those to be admired and prayed for are those who are facing persecution and horrors and yet are standing up for the faith and truth of Jesus. They need our prayers and support and the whole body of Christ really needs to come together and unite around our Saviour in these times, just as He prayed (John17).
So, God bless YOU, brother, and the rest like you on this thread especially (you know who you are, thx) who have been standing for Jesus, and against the lies being spread by the religion of violence.To God be the glory, great things He has done, He loves us so much that He gave us His Son. Praise His Name and stand fast in His Truth, and thanks again for the support and encouragement, I really needed it.
My brother, even if Jesus is done with you? He's just starting when it comes to you, for He will never leave you nor forsake you. In fact, He has prepared a place for you so that where He is, you will be there also. And when you're with the Lord in glory, He will be calling you great among people, for your faith and love for Him are breathtaking.
You are not alone in your trials and tribulations. Most of us throughout the years have lost loved ones do to circumstances other than death, and it is painful, yet when one door closes, God opens other doors. My door to friendship is open, and together we will glorify God by rejoicing in Him and sharing His saving grace with others.
You are in my heartfelt prayers, and I pray for your complete healing and for the restoration of your splintered relationship. If the latter does not come to fruition, always keep them in your prayers, for God knows your heart and He will bless them because of your loving prayers. Remember, you shall lie down and sleep in peace each night, for God is with you. God bless you!

*side note big thx to Utah, your fervent prayer seems to have been effectual, praise the Lord, we are speaking again, and i am stunned but so grateful, i thought it would be a long time getting resolved, and wasnt sure it ever would be. To have an understanding this quickly can only be a testament to the power of faithful prayer by you, Utah, and perhaps anyone else who may have joined in, and moreover, a testament to the power and love of the one being prayed to. Our God is an awesome God, so thank you brother, thank you Father, thank you Jesus, thank you Lord,
Interestingly enough, a whole new set of 'things' just swept in, too much to explain, and i dont want to be a complainer. And my back is now out again and has me in extreme, screaming out loud pain, and im responsible for cooking one of the turkeys this year. Right now i can barely move, but i dont want to hog up more prayertime, there are so many more in so much more need, and it would take pages to say all of whats going on right now, but i really appreciate your kindness, and your stand for Truth, you've shown your heart for Jesus, and thats such a blessing, brother. Cant wait for the day we can worship Him together, pain free. God bless you, friend.*
