For a product of the [[radical Left]] like Obama, terrorism is a regrettable but understandable consequence of American arrogance. That it happens to involve [[Muslim]]s is just the coincidental fallout of [[Western]] [[imperialism]] in the [[Middle East]], not the doctrinal command of a belief system that perceives itself as engaged in an inter-civilizational conflict. For the Left, America has to be the culprit. Despite its inbred pathologies, which we had no role in cultivating, Islam must be the victim, not the cause. As you’ll hear from Obama’s Islamist allies, who often double as [[Democratic party|Demcratic]] [[activist]]s, the problem is “[[Islamophobia]],” not Muslim terrorism."}}
