President Obama issued a statement yesterday urging Americans to respect the religion of Islam before he even commented on a terror attack by an Islamic extremist in Chattanooga which killed four Marines, prompting widespread anger.
The White House tweeted out a statement wishing Muslims “Eid Mubarak!” as Ramadan came to a close, adding that, “the holiday is a reminder to every American of the importance of respecting those of all faiths and beliefs.”

The statement was tweeted hours after the Chattanooga shooting and after it had been established that the culprit was 24-year-old Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, a Kuwaiti Muslim whose blog revealed that Islam played a central role in his ideology.
It was only after Obama had lectured Americans about respecting Islam that he paid tribute to the four dead Marines killed by an Islamic terrorist.
Reaction to the timing was brutal.
@WhiteHouse @POTUS I thought this was a sick joke. That is until I realized it was really from the POTUS. Awful timing to say the least.

@travelinmal @WhiteHouse @POTUS The wording and its timing is so poor in light of today's tragic attack that I'm at a loss for words.

I'm shocked by your recent post @WhiteHouse @POTUS following today's murders of our decorated Marines.

You are aware there was a mass shooting again today, by a Muslim, right? You could at least pretend to give a shit. @WhiteHouse @POTUS

@WhiteHouse You don't deserve to be @POTUS. Four marines died on US soil today at the hands of a devout Muslim you made a US citizen.

@WhiteHouse @POTUS The timing of this is unconscionable.You need to clarify where your loyalties lie. You must first be the POTUS or resign.

@WhiteHouse @POTUS this makes me sick to my stomach on the day of #Chattanooga. Shame on you, shame.

.@WhiteHouse @POTUS I am appalled at the complete lack of care and concern over the dead US Marines UNDER YOUR COMMAND.

Obama has been widely criticized for his refusal to even use the term “Islamic” when referring to Islamist terror attacks, an illustration of the stifling political correctness that surrounds discussion of Islamic-inspired atrocities.
In the aftermath of the shootings, the leftist media, which immediately exploited the Charleston attack to collectively demonize all white Americans, is noticeably shy to discuss Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez’s motivation.

Salon.com, which said that “white America must answer for the Charleston massacre,” has as its top story this morning a piece about drafting Al Gore. There are no mentions of Chattanooga until you scroll well down the page.
Donald Trump also took Obama to task during a Fox News appearance last night, slamming his fear of using the term “Islamic terrorism.”
