In Obama's speech on Sunday he called the shootings in San Bernardino "an act of terrorism". He proposed to Congress that new restrictions are put assault weapons and to prevent people who are on a no-fly list from purchasing firearms. President Obama has encouraged Americans to not associate terrorism with any Muslim. Donald Trump came to the conclusion "We need a new President- FAST!' while he was live-tweeting during the speech. Marco Rubio called Obama "completely overwhelmed" after his speech, he also called Obama "cynical" for encouraging Americans to not discriminate against Muslims.
I think that Obama encouraging people to not discriminate against Muslims is a good thing. People are scared of terrorist groups like ISIS and assume that all Muslims support ISIS which isn't true. Marco Rubio "blasted" President Obama's focus on gun control, I personally think that keeping a handle on gun control is important.

It is important to keep Muslims safe at such a fragile time, as there are many uneducated people making many horrible assumptions about the religion.

ReplyDeleteHe is not impressed with anything.
ReplyDeleteIt's really awful that some people think that discriminating against Muslims will help this situation. I think Obama did the right thing by telling people they should not associate Muslims with terrorism. --Claudia Anthony
