    Speaking alongside Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto during a state visit to Latin America’s No. 2 economy, Erdogan said Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry should take a position following such acts.

    “If you stay silent when faced with an incident like this, and don’t make a statement, the world will stay silent towards you,” Erdogan said, condemning those responsible for the shootings.

    His silence was not because they were Moslems. His silence was because they were white. Like the rabble rouser Sharpton, Obama only expresses outrage at Ferguson style racism. Other forms of racism get a presidential pardon.

    The only reason Obama didn’t jump as quickly as he usually does to defend muslims, is because he’s been taking heat lately for his anti Semitic, pro muslim policies, and the deep contrast in his criticism of the 2 groups.

    And we, of course, all know that the same Obama haters posting here would have been equally outraged if he had made a statement. Your irrational hatred knows no bounds.
