Obama Describes Current Muslim Violence in Mideast as a “Natural” Protest to an Offensive Video …(What?)

Indian Muslim students burn an effigy of U.S. President Barack Obama during a protest near the American Center in Kolkata, India, Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2012. The students were protesting against an anti-Islam film called “Innocence of Muslims” that ridicules Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. (AP)

Barack Obama told a Hispanic audience that the violent reaction we are witnessing in the Mideast is part of the “natural protests” over an anti-Mohammad video.

Sorry, Barack… Only a useful idiot would think violent mobs storming embassies was a “natural” reaction to an offensive video.
The Daily Caller reported:

President Barack Obama said he thinks Muslim protests against Western criticism of Islam are “natural.”

“The natural protests that arose because of the outrage over the video were used as an excuse by extremists to see if they can also directly harm U.S. interests,” Obama said during an hour-long town-hall interview on the Spanish-language Univision channel.

Obama did not use the interview to champion the right of Americans to speak freely amid criticism and threats from Islamic advocates.

He did briefly mention free-speech, saying that democracy also includes “looking out for minority rights… respecting freedom of speech… [and] treating women fairly.”

Islam offends me for many reasons not the least of which is the burning down of Christian churches and the slaughter of parishioners and clergy. All those savage attacks are unprovoked and disgusting. Yet where is THAT condemnation? Neither I nor anyone I know resort to crazed deadly rampages, so no Obama it is NOT a natural progression, at least among civilized people. Your pathetic excuse for these savages is outrageous and beneath the office of the Presidency.

And if someone in Texas burned Obama in effigy that would be racist and a hate crime. In the Islamic world, it’s natural. How wonderful!

Obama’s statement doesn’t comport well with the the fact that they started planning for these attacks in July, before the movie surfaced.

Is there nobody in the MSM that will bring that up?

So I guess voting him out of office in November will be a ‘natural’ reaction to his inept and corrupt administration? Works for me.

a natural process that can get innocent people killed. wouldn’t this just be a natural process with a pack of wolves and shouldn’t we consider human nature to be above that of wolves?

Yes, killing “infidels” comes naturally to Obama and islamists. Uh, that seems to be the problem here.

So violence is “natural” to Islam? And yet the same administration has all but outlawed references to jihad and instead calls their attacks “extremist terrorism”, but never tells us what extremism is the motivating factor.

The people who came up with this policy are supposed to be the smartest people in the room. What passes for smart is clearly dangerously stupid to this bitter clinger.

The good old plantation mentality of low expectations, soft bigotry if you will. Its how the left looks at their chosen victims; they are inferior,incapable of achievement or behaving in a civil manner.
