On January 11, 2015, 40 leaders from various countries and 1.3 million people participated in anti-terrorism events in Paris. President Obama was AWOL, and he was only represented by our ambassador to France.
It is difficult to believe our President overlooked the need to be in Paris for the anti-terrorism rally. Based on his previous comments it is quite possible he decided he did not want to offend Islam by appearing at the anti-terrorism unity march.
In the past he has refused to label the multitude of attacks conducted by Muslims as Islamic terrorist attacks. He said "we are not at war with Islam", but it sure appears Islam is at war with us. After all, what is the religion of almost every terrorist who has attacked Western civilization in the past 50 years?
President Obama, you just offended every freedom loving person in the world.
