"The executioner was a furious, aggravated, temperamental, young fellow who got
to be radicalized," he said, adding that Islam had nothing to do with the
assault.
"What precisely would utilizing that mark finish? What precisely would it
change? Would it make ISIL less dedicated to attempting to murder Americans?
Would it acquire more associates? ... The answer is: nothing from what was just
mentioned," he said.
"Calling a risk by an alternate name does not make it leave. This is a political
diversion."

innumerable hours to ensure "all Americans including lawmakers who tweet and
show up on link news appears".
War against ISIL
Obama said the possibility that the organization is befuddled about the foe
"would come as a shock to the a great many terrorists who we've removed the
front line".
While repelling his political enemies, Obama additionally tried to show
Americans that the war against the ISIL in Syria, Iraq and Libya, while
moderate, was being won.
He said the quantity of outside contenders joining the outfitted gatherings was
diving.
"ISIL lost almost 50% of the populated domain it had in Iraq and it will lose
more. ISIL keeps on losing ground in Syria too," Obama said.
"To put it plainly, our coalition keeps on being on offense. ISIL is on
resistance."

after Sunday's mass shooting, and maybe his most grounded yet on the danger he
sees the Republican competitor stances to the US legislative issues and
security.
Obama said Trump's arrangement to ban outside Muslims from entering the US
disregarded America's history of focusing on ethnic and religious gatherings in
the midst of time of tension and would undermine American qualities.
"In the event that we ever forsake those qualities, we would not just make it a
considerable measure less demanding to radicalize individuals here and around
the globe, however we would have deceived the very things we are attempting to
ensure." Obama said. "And afterward the terrorists would have won and we can't
give that a chance to happen. I won't give that a chance to happen."
Obama said that treating Muslim-Americans diversely would not make the US more
secure.
"Is it accurate to say that we are going to begin treating every single Muslim
American in an unexpected way? Is it accurate to say that we are going to begin
subjecting them to unique observation? it is safe to say that we are going to
begin segregating them due to their confidence?"
"We're beginning to see where this sort of talk and free speak and messiness
about who precisely we're battling, where this can lead us."
The US president said it would make the nation less sheltered by fuelling the
thought among adherents of ISIL that the West abhors Muslims.
"They need us to approve them by suggesting that they represent those billion or
more individuals, that they represent Islam. That is their promulgation, that is
the manner by which they select," he said.
"What's more, on the off chance that we fall into the trap of painting all
Muslims with a wide brush and infer that we are at war with a whole religion,
then we are doing the terrorists work for them."
