Obama: ISIS ‘Has no place in 21st Century’

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) “Today, the entire world is appalled by the brutal murder of Jim Foley,” US President Obama said at a press conference last Wednesday in Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts.

Obama proceeded to condemn the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, the militants responsible for American journalist James Foley’s death, in the harshest possible terms.

“ISIL speaks for no religion,” Obama said, using a different name for the group. “Their victims are overwhelmingly Muslim, and no faith teaches people to massacre innocents. No just God would stand for what they did yesterday, and what they do every single day. ISIL has no ideology. Their ideology is bankrupt.”

The president spoke of ISIS militants “rampaging” through Iraq, “killing innocent, unarmed civilians,” kidnapping women and children, subjecting them to “torture and rape and slavery.” /End/
