The Speech: Obama Gets It Wrong On Islam, Again.

'Now let’s make two things clear: ISIL is not “Islamic.” No religion condones the killing of innocents.'

- President Barack Obama, 10 September 2014

 

Well, that depends on how you define ‘innocents’…

The Qur’an:

Slay kaffirs (infidels) wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter.  – Sura 2:191 

Fight against kaffirs (infidels) until idolatry is no more and Allah’s religion reigns supreme.  – Sura 2:193 

And fight them until there is no fitnah and [until] the religion, all of it, is for Allah. – Sura 8:39 

Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. – Sura 2:216 

O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. Those of you who make them his friends is one of them. God does not guide an unjust people. – Sura 5:54

Allah has cursed the unbelievers and proposed for them a blazing hell.  - Sura 33:60 

Unbelievers are enemies of Allah and they will roast in hell. - Sura 41:14 

When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield, strike off their heads, and when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly. - Sura 47:4

According to the Qur’an, kaffirs (infidels) can NEVER be ‘innocent’ and ARE to be killed.
