After Paris attacks, Hollande urges grand coalition in Syria-Reuters By Emile Picy-NOV 16,15-YAHOONEWS
VERSAILLES, France (Reuters) - French President Francois Hollande appealed on Monday for a single coalition including the United States and Russia to eradicate Islamic State militants in Syria after bloody attacks on Paris.In a solemn address to a joint session of parliament in the Palace of Versailles that began with the words "France is at war", Hollande announced an increase in police recruitment, a halt to layoffs in the army, and a constitutional amendment to strengthen the fight against terrorism.The attacks by gunmen and suicide bombers at restaurants, bars, a soccer stadium and a music hall that killed 129 people and wounded more than 350 people were ordered from Syria, planned in Belgium and carried out with the help of French people, he said.Hollande said he would meet U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow in the coming days "so we can unite our forces to achieve a result that has taken too long".While Syrian President Bashar al-Assad could not be part of the solution to the crisis, "our enemy is Daesh (Islamic State)", Hollande said, while insisting that France was fighting terrorism and not another civilization."We will eradicate terrorism," he declared at the end of a 50-minute speech. Lawmakers from all parties gave him a standing ovation and sang the "Marseillaise" national anthem.The Socialist president said he had ordered air strikes on headquarters of Islamic State in the Syrian town of Raqqa overnight and would continue to wage war "mercilessly", sending an aircraft carrier to triple French air power in the region.He also said France wanted more effective controls of the European Union's external borders to avoid a return to national border controls and the dismantling of the European Union.Additional security spending would be needed and France would not let EU budget rules to get in the way, Hollande said.He involved a mutual defense clause in the EU's Lisbon treaty, which requires member states to give each other assistance if they come under attack, but made no mention of the U.S.-led NATO military alliance's mutual defense clause.He said security forces had put more than 100 people under house arrest and raided 168 premises since he declared a state of emergency, which he asked parliament to extend for three months.He also proposed measures to speed up the expulsion of foreigners considered a threat to public order, strip binational citizens who carry out acts hostile to national security of French citizenship, and bar binationals considered a terrorism risk from entering French territory.It was the first time in more than six years that a president had addressed both houses of parliament convened in a so-called Congress at Versailles, a procedure reserved for constitutional revisions and major presidential speeches.Former conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy last addressed the Congress at the former royal palace in 2009, at the height of the global financial and banking crisis.The Congress took place in the spectacular Southern Wing of the former royal palace built by Louis XIV, in an ornate chamber decorated with allegorical paintings evoking war and peace.(Additional reporting by Ingrid Melander and Michel Rose; Writing by Paul Taylor; Editing by Tom Heneghan)
Islamic State threatens attack on Washington, other countries-Reuters – NOV 16,15-YAHOO NEWS
CAIRO (Reuters) - Islamic State warned in a new video on Monday that countries taking part in air strikes against Syria would suffer the same fate as France, and threatened to attack in Washington.The video, which appeared on a website used by Islamic State to post its messages, begins with news footage of the aftermath of Friday's Paris shootings in which at least 129 people were killed.The message to countries involved in what it called the "crusader campaign" was delivered by a man dressed in fatigues and a turban, and identified in subtitles as Al Ghareeb the Algerian."We say to the states that take part in the crusader campaign that, by God, you will have a day, God willing, like France's and by God, as we struck France in the center of its abode in Paris, then we swear that we will strike America at its center in Washington," the man said.It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the video, which purports to be the work of Islamic State fighters in the Iraqi province of Salahuddine, north of Baghdad.The U.S. Department of Homeland Security would not comment on the video but said it has not received information indicating a potential attack."While we take all threats seriously, we do not have specific credible information of an attack on the U.S. homeland," a DHS official said on condition of anonymity.The French government has called the Paris attacks an act of war and said it would not end its air strikes against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. French fighter jets launched their biggest raids in Syria to date on Sunday, targeting the Islamic State's stronghold in the city of Raqqa, in coordination with U.S. forces.Police raided homes of suspected Islamist militants across France overnight following the Paris attacks."Al Ghareeb the Algerian" also warned Europe in the video that more attacks were coming."I say to the European countries that we are coming, coming with booby traps and explosives, coming with explosive belts and (gun) silencers and you will be unable to stop us because today we are much stronger than before," he said.Apparently referring to international talks to end the Syrian war, another man identified in the video as Al Karrar the Iraqi tells French President Francois Hollande "we have decided to negotiate with you in the trenches and not in the hotels."(Reporting by Ahmed Tolba and Lin Noueihed; Additional reporting by Doina Chiacu in Washington; Editing by Ahmed Aboulenein, Michael Georgy, David Stamp and Jonathan Oatis)
Muslims face threats of violence, harassment in wake of Paris attacks-By Dylan Stableford-NOV 16,15-YAHOONEWS
As Friday's deadly terror attacks in Paris unfolded, Muslims around the world reacted in horror — and braced for threats, harassment and violence at home.On Saturday night, a fire broke out at a mosque in Ontario. No one was in it at the time, and despite the fact that fire officials there ruled the blaze an act of arson, the president of the local Muslim association believes it was “clearly a hate crime.”Earlier in the day, a mosque in St. Petersburg, Fla., reported it received a voicemail that threatened to "firebomb you and shoot whoever is there in the head."“I don’t care if they are f***ing 2 years old or 100,” the caller said. “I am over your f***ing bull**** and our whole country is.”A similar threat was made to another Florida mosque, and the caller spoke of “shooting people at will.”The FBI said it is investigating the incidents, and St. Petersburg police have increased patrols in the area around the mosque.“When I first heard the voicemail, I was in shock,” Hatem Jaber, a volunteer at the St. Petersburg mosque, told a local television station.Perhaps he shouldn’t have been.In the weeks following the deadly attacks on the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine, France’s National Observatory Against Islamophobia saw a 281 percent increase in anti-Muslim incidents compared to the previous year.“When this horrific thing happened on Friday, all the Muslims I know went through the same thing,” Ronald Abdul Rahim Hubbs told the International Business Times. “You first have the emotions of, ‘Oh my God, that’s terrible.’ The second feeling that comes up is, ‘Here we go again.’”In Portland, Ore., a handful of protesters showed up outside Hubbs’ mosque, chanting anti-Muslim slurs at worshippers as they arrived for Sunday prayer.“Your Quran is the doctrine of demons! Jesus is going to destroy the Muslims!” one demonstrator screamed through a megaphone even as a non-Muslim neighbor tried to reason with him. But the epithets continued: “Islam is a lie! You’re nothing more than a pawn of Satan, you demonic Muslim dogs!”In Paris, Reuters reported blood-red crosses were found painted on the wall of a mosque on Saturday morning, and similar graffiti was found outside at least two other mosques in other parts of the country.It's not just mosques that are facing threats and harassment.Police at the University of Connecticut are investigating after a student, Mahmoud Hashem, found the words “killed Paris” had been written underneath his name on the door of his dorm room.“It’s not my fault. [The terrorists] are the killer, not me,” Hashem, who is originally from Egypt and studies engineering at UConn, told WTNH-TV. “I love America.”“This hurtful act is clearly unacceptable, and contradicts UConn’s values as it works to provide a welcoming environment for all students on all of our campuses,” a university spokeswoman said in a statement. “ UConn Police and other UConn officials have begun investigations into this incident, and at the same time are working to provide support to the student and impacted community.”In Dearborn, Mich., home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the United States, police investigated a threat posted to Twitter on Saturday afternoon."Let’s f*** that place up and send a message to ISIS,” the tweet read. “We’re coming.”In Orlando, Fla., a Muslim family said they found bullet holes when they returned home Sunday morning. No one was injured, but police are investigating to determine whether it was a hate crime.And in Oxfordshire, England, police arrested a woman who posted a message to Facebook saying she would refuse to serve Muslims at her beauty salon.“Blinks of Bicester are no longer taking bookings from anyone from the Islamic faith whether you are U.K. granted with passport or not,” her message read. “Sorry but time to put my country first.”A police spokesman said the woman was arrested for allegedly producing “written material which is threatening, abusive or insulting with the intention of stirring up racial hatred.” Following the attacks in Paris, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, condemned the killings.“These savage and despicable attacks on civilians, whether they occur in Paris, Beirut or any other city, are outrageous and without justification,” CAIR said in a statement. “We condemn these horrific crimes in the strongest terms possible.” A group of French Muslim students produced a powerful video condemning the attacks."They invoke the Qur’an, and quote its verses," a voiceover says in the video, which features students holding a sign bearing the hashtag #NousSommesUnis (translation: "We are united"). "But shedding the blood of an innocent has no justification, not in Islam or anywhere."“They wanted France to be weak," the narration continues. "They made our French hearts strong.”But Rajahat Ali, a Muslim author and journalist at Al- Jazeera America, says such statements fall on deaf ears.“We Muslims have to engage in what I call the ‘condemnathon tour,’” Ali told IBT. “If we don’t engage in it, it’s almost as if we’re validating or supporting a vile act. We’re supposed to condemn violent actions by violent extremists in a country we’ve never visited or else. And even if we do, the collective group of 1.5 billion Muslims is still indicted, convicted and sentenced.” American Muslims say it doesn’t help to have conservatives like Republican frontrunner Donald Trump calling for U.S. authorities “to watch and study the mosques” — and saying he would consider closing some if elected president.“I would hate to do it, but it’s something that you’re going to have to strongly consider,” Trump said on MSNBC's “Morning Joe” on Monday. “We have to be much tougher. We are going to have to give up certain privileges that we’ve always had.”Meanwhile, the governors of seven states — Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi and Texas — say they will refuse Syrian refugees in the wake of the attacks in Paris.“I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm’s way,” Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley announced on Sunday night.Speaking at the G-20 summit in Turkey Monday, President Obama said such rhetoric is not what the U.S. stands for.“That’s shameful. That’s not American,” Obama said. “That’s not who we are.”
Obama: Attacks 'terrible' setback in Islamic State campaign-Associated Press By JULIE PACE-NOV 16,15-YAHOONEWS
ANTALYA, Turkey (AP) — President Barack Obama on Monday conceded that the Paris terror attacks were a "terrible and sickening setback" in the fight against the Islamic State, but forcefully dismissed critics who have called for the U.S. to change or expand its military campaign against the extremists."The strategy that we are putting forward is the strategy that is ultimately is going to work," Obama said during a news conference at the close of two days of talks with world leaders. "It's going to take time."The president grew irritated amid repeated questions about whether he had underestimated the strength of the Islamic State, which now appears to be focusing on targets outside its base in Syria and Iraq. In addition to the terror spree in Paris, the group has claimed responsibility for attacks in Lebanon and Turkey, as well as the downing of a Russian airline in Egypt.The president said most of his critics are simply "talking as if they're tough" and offering no real ideas. And he brushed aside those who call for sending U.S. ground troops into the region, saying that "would be a mistake" and wouldn't work unless the U.S. was committed to being a permanent occupying force in the region."This is not an abstraction," Obama said. "When we send troops in, those troops get injured. They get killed."While Obama did not single out his critics by name, some Republican presidential candidates, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, have called for sending U.S. forces into Syria. Bush has also suggested that any U.S. assistance to refugees fleeing the Middle East should be primarily focused on Christians, another idea that rankled Obama."That's shameful," Obama declared. "That's not American. That's not who we are."Republicans and also some Democrats have challenged Obama's approach to the Islamic State, saying he lacks a clear strategy. The president's approach centers largely on airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, as well as programs to train and equip moderate opposition forces. He's also sent more than 3,000 troops to Iraq to assist that country's security forces and recently announced plans to send up to 50 Americans into Syria.Obama said he envisioned escalating that strategy, not overhauling it. And he called on other nations to step up their involvement in the fight against the extremists. France has already ramped up its response following the attacks that killed at least 129 people and injured hundreds. In its heaviest strikes yet, French military bombarded Raqqa, the Islamic State's stronghold in Syria, in hopes of killing Islamic State organizers and trainees-Obama announced a new effort to share intelligence with France following the coordinated terror spree across Paris that killed at least 129 people and injured hundreds. Officials said the U.S. was already using intelligence to help France identify targets for the airstrikes.The Islamic State's increasing focus on targets outside the military has raised questions about whether Obama underestimated the group. He once referred to the extremists as a "JV team" and said shortly before the Paris attack that their capacity in Iraq and Syria had been contained.The president conceded there were challenges in defeating the Islamic State given that its fighters have a "willingness to die.""If you have a handful of people who don't mind dying, they can kill a lot of people," he said.While officials say the U.S. had been aware of the Islamic State's desire to strike targets outside the Middle East, Obama said he had not been briefed on any intelligence that indicated an attack in Paris was likely."I'm not aware of anything that was specific," he said.Obama's comments followed a two-day meeting with leaders from the Group of 20 rich and developing countries. The meeting in the seaside city of Antalya, just a few hundred miles from the Syrian border, was planned before the Paris attacks, but the carnage there ratcheted up the urgency in the talks.The discussions about the Islamic State came amid a glimmer of progress in efforts to end the Syrian civil war, which created the chaos that allowed the extremist group to thrive. A foreign ministers' meeting in Vienna over the weekend resulted in a new diplomatic plan that envisions negotiations between Syrian President Bashar Assad's government and opposition groups starting by Jan. 1.Still, sharp differences over Assad's future and disagreements about what militant groups in Syria should be considered terrorists have dampened hopes for a breakthrough.Obama voiced optimism about the plan, saying he had "some degree of hope" that the plan would provide a path forward. But he added, "We are very clear eyed about the very, very difficult road ahead."___Follow Julie Pace at http://twitter.com/jpaceDC

UPDATE-NOV 16,15-11:10AM
OBAMA IS A SUNNI ARAB MUSLIM AND ISIS ARE SUNNI ARABS IN CONTROL OF RAQQA. OBAMA WOULD NEVER WANT THE KURDS TO CONTROL RAQQA BECAUSE THEN RAAQA LEADERSHIP AND MILITARY WOULD BE KURDISH. BUT THE CITIZENS WOULD BE SUNNI-ARABS. OBAMA-IRAN AND IRAQS LEADERS ALL SHIITE MUSLIMS WOULD NEVER ALLOW KURDS TO RULE OVER THEIR SUNNI-SHIITES ISLAMIC MUSLIMS. BUT OBAMA INSISTS THIS WAR IS NOT A RELIGIOUS WAR. I ASK OBAMA WHAT WOULD THIS SITUATION BE. AND NOW WE KNOW WHY OBAMA WILL NEVER GIVE HEAVY WEAPONS TO THE KURDS TO DEFEAT ISIS AND ASSAD IN IRAQ AND SYRIA. BUT ONLY SUPPLIES WEAPONS TO ISLAMIC GROUPS. SO IF ASSAD OR ISIS IN RAQQA WERE DEFEATED. THE AREA WOULD STAY MUSLIM AND NOT KURDISH.

After Paris attacks, Hollande urges grand coalition in Syria-Reuters By Emile Picy-NOV 16,15-YAHOONEWS
VERSAILLES, France (Reuters) - French President Francois Hollande appealed on Monday for a single coalition including the United States and Russia to eradicate Islamic State militants in Syria after bloody attacks on Paris.In a solemn address to a joint session of parliament in the Palace of Versailles that began with the words "France is at war", Hollande announced an increase in police recruitment, a halt to layoffs in the army, and a constitutional amendment to strengthen the fight against terrorism.The attacks by gunmen and suicide bombers at restaurants, bars, a soccer stadium and a music hall that killed 129 people and wounded more than 350 people were ordered from Syria, planned in Belgium and carried out with the help of French people, he said.Hollande said he would meet U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow in the coming days "so we can unite our forces to achieve a result that has taken too long".While Syrian President Bashar al-Assad could not be part of the solution to the crisis, "our enemy is Daesh (Islamic State)", Hollande said, while insisting that France was fighting terrorism and not another civilization."We will eradicate terrorism," he declared at the end of a 50-minute speech. Lawmakers from all parties gave him a standing ovation and sang the "Marseillaise" national anthem.The Socialist president said he had ordered air strikes on headquarters of Islamic State in the Syrian town of Raqqa overnight and would continue to wage war "mercilessly", sending an aircraft carrier to triple French air power in the region.He also said France wanted more effective controls of the European Union's external borders to avoid a return to national border controls and the dismantling of the European Union.Additional security spending would be needed and France would not let EU budget rules to get in the way, Hollande said.He involved a mutual defense clause in the EU's Lisbon treaty, which requires member states to give each other assistance if they come under attack, but made no mention of the U.S.-led NATO military alliance's mutual defense clause.He said security forces had put more than 100 people under house arrest and raided 168 premises since he declared a state of emergency, which he asked parliament to extend for three months.He also proposed measures to speed up the expulsion of foreigners considered a threat to public order, strip binational citizens who carry out acts hostile to national security of French citizenship, and bar binationals considered a terrorism risk from entering French territory.It was the first time in more than six years that a president had addressed both houses of parliament convened in a so-called Congress at Versailles, a procedure reserved for constitutional revisions and major presidential speeches.Former conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy last addressed the Congress at the former royal palace in 2009, at the height of the global financial and banking crisis.The Congress took place in the spectacular Southern Wing of the former royal palace built by Louis XIV, in an ornate chamber decorated with allegorical paintings evoking war and peace.(Additional reporting by Ingrid Melander and Michel Rose; Writing by Paul Taylor; Editing by Tom Heneghan)
Islamic State threatens attack on Washington, other countries-Reuters – NOV 16,15-YAHOO NEWS
CAIRO (Reuters) - Islamic State warned in a new video on Monday that countries taking part in air strikes against Syria would suffer the same fate as France, and threatened to attack in Washington.The video, which appeared on a website used by Islamic State to post its messages, begins with news footage of the aftermath of Friday's Paris shootings in which at least 129 people were killed.The message to countries involved in what it called the "crusader campaign" was delivered by a man dressed in fatigues and a turban, and identified in subtitles as Al Ghareeb the Algerian."We say to the states that take part in the crusader campaign that, by God, you will have a day, God willing, like France's and by God, as we struck France in the center of its abode in Paris, then we swear that we will strike America at its center in Washington," the man said.It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the video, which purports to be the work of Islamic State fighters in the Iraqi province of Salahuddine, north of Baghdad.The U.S. Department of Homeland Security would not comment on the video but said it has not received information indicating a potential attack."While we take all threats seriously, we do not have specific credible information of an attack on the U.S. homeland," a DHS official said on condition of anonymity.The French government has called the Paris attacks an act of war and said it would not end its air strikes against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. French fighter jets launched their biggest raids in Syria to date on Sunday, targeting the Islamic State's stronghold in the city of Raqqa, in coordination with U.S. forces.Police raided homes of suspected Islamist militants across France overnight following the Paris attacks."Al Ghareeb the Algerian" also warned Europe in the video that more attacks were coming."I say to the European countries that we are coming, coming with booby traps and explosives, coming with explosive belts and (gun) silencers and you will be unable to stop us because today we are much stronger than before," he said.Apparently referring to international talks to end the Syrian war, another man identified in the video as Al Karrar the Iraqi tells French President Francois Hollande "we have decided to negotiate with you in the trenches and not in the hotels."(Reporting by Ahmed Tolba and Lin Noueihed; Additional reporting by Doina Chiacu in Washington; Editing by Ahmed Aboulenein, Michael Georgy, David Stamp and Jonathan Oatis)
Muslims face threats of violence, harassment in wake of Paris attacks-By Dylan Stableford-NOV 16,15-YAHOONEWS
As Friday's deadly terror attacks in Paris unfolded, Muslims around the world reacted in horror — and braced for threats, harassment and violence at home.On Saturday night, a fire broke out at a mosque in Ontario. No one was in it at the time, and despite the fact that fire officials there ruled the blaze an act of arson, the president of the local Muslim association believes it was “clearly a hate crime.”Earlier in the day, a mosque in St. Petersburg, Fla., reported it received a voicemail that threatened to "firebomb you and shoot whoever is there in the head."“I don’t care if they are f***ing 2 years old or 100,” the caller said. “I am over your f***ing bull**** and our whole country is.”A similar threat was made to another Florida mosque, and the caller spoke of “shooting people at will.”The FBI said it is investigating the incidents, and St. Petersburg police have increased patrols in the area around the mosque.“When I first heard the voicemail, I was in shock,” Hatem Jaber, a volunteer at the St. Petersburg mosque, told a local television station.Perhaps he shouldn’t have been.In the weeks following the deadly attacks on the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine, France’s National Observatory Against Islamophobia saw a 281 percent increase in anti-Muslim incidents compared to the previous year.“When this horrific thing happened on Friday, all the Muslims I know went through the same thing,” Ronald Abdul Rahim Hubbs told the International Business Times. “You first have the emotions of, ‘Oh my God, that’s terrible.’ The second feeling that comes up is, ‘Here we go again.’”In Portland, Ore., a handful of protesters showed up outside Hubbs’ mosque, chanting anti-Muslim slurs at worshippers as they arrived for Sunday prayer.“Your Quran is the doctrine of demons! Jesus is going to destroy the Muslims!” one demonstrator screamed through a megaphone even as a non-Muslim neighbor tried to reason with him. But the epithets continued: “Islam is a lie! You’re nothing more than a pawn of Satan, you demonic Muslim dogs!”In Paris, Reuters reported blood-red crosses were found painted on the wall of a mosque on Saturday morning, and similar graffiti was found outside at least two other mosques in other parts of the country.It's not just mosques that are facing threats and harassment.Police at the University of Connecticut are investigating after a student, Mahmoud Hashem, found the words “killed Paris” had been written underneath his name on the door of his dorm room.“It’s not my fault. [The terrorists] are the killer, not me,” Hashem, who is originally from Egypt and studies engineering at UConn, told WTNH-TV. “I love America.”“This hurtful act is clearly unacceptable, and contradicts UConn’s values as it works to provide a welcoming environment for all students on all of our campuses,” a university spokeswoman said in a statement. “ UConn Police and other UConn officials have begun investigations into this incident, and at the same time are working to provide support to the student and impacted community.”In Dearborn, Mich., home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the United States, police investigated a threat posted to Twitter on Saturday afternoon."Let’s f*** that place up and send a message to ISIS,” the tweet read. “We’re coming.”In Orlando, Fla., a Muslim family said they found bullet holes when they returned home Sunday morning. No one was injured, but police are investigating to determine whether it was a hate crime.And in Oxfordshire, England, police arrested a woman who posted a message to Facebook saying she would refuse to serve Muslims at her beauty salon.“Blinks of Bicester are no longer taking bookings from anyone from the Islamic faith whether you are U.K. granted with passport or not,” her message read. “Sorry but time to put my country first.”A police spokesman said the woman was arrested for allegedly producing “written material which is threatening, abusive or insulting with the intention of stirring up racial hatred.” Following the attacks in Paris, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, condemned the killings.“These savage and despicable attacks on civilians, whether they occur in Paris, Beirut or any other city, are outrageous and without justification,” CAIR said in a statement. “We condemn these horrific crimes in the strongest terms possible.” A group of French Muslim students produced a powerful video condemning the attacks."They invoke the Qur’an, and quote its verses," a voiceover says in the video, which features students holding a sign bearing the hashtag #NousSommesUnis (translation: "We are united"). "But shedding the blood of an innocent has no justification, not in Islam or anywhere."“They wanted France to be weak," the narration continues. "They made our French hearts strong.”But Rajahat Ali, a Muslim author and journalist at Al- Jazeera America, says such statements fall on deaf ears.“We Muslims have to engage in what I call the ‘condemnathon tour,’” Ali told IBT. “If we don’t engage in it, it’s almost as if we’re validating or supporting a vile act. We’re supposed to condemn violent actions by violent extremists in a country we’ve never visited or else. And even if we do, the collective group of 1.5 billion Muslims is still indicted, convicted and sentenced.” American Muslims say it doesn’t help to have conservatives like Republican frontrunner Donald Trump calling for U.S. authorities “to watch and study the mosques” — and saying he would consider closing some if elected president.“I would hate to do it, but it’s something that you’re going to have to strongly consider,” Trump said on MSNBC's “Morning Joe” on Monday. “We have to be much tougher. We are going to have to give up certain privileges that we’ve always had.”Meanwhile, the governors of seven states — Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi and Texas — say they will refuse Syrian refugees in the wake of the attacks in Paris.“I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm’s way,” Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley announced on Sunday night.Speaking at the G-20 summit in Turkey Monday, President Obama said such rhetoric is not what the U.S. stands for.“That’s shameful. That’s not American,” Obama said. “That’s not who we are.”
Obama: Attacks 'terrible' setback in Islamic State campaign-Associated Press By JULIE PACE-NOV 16,15-YAHOONEWS
ANTALYA, Turkey (AP) — President Barack Obama on Monday conceded that the Paris terror attacks were a "terrible and sickening setback" in the fight against the Islamic State, but forcefully dismissed critics who have called for the U.S. to change or expand its military campaign against the extremists."The strategy that we are putting forward is the strategy that is ultimately is going to work," Obama said during a news conference at the close of two days of talks with world leaders. "It's going to take time."The president grew irritated amid repeated questions about whether he had underestimated the strength of the Islamic State, which now appears to be focusing on targets outside its base in Syria and Iraq. In addition to the terror spree in Paris, the group has claimed responsibility for attacks in Lebanon and Turkey, as well as the downing of a Russian airline in Egypt.The president said most of his critics are simply "talking as if they're tough" and offering no real ideas. And he brushed aside those who call for sending U.S. ground troops into the region, saying that "would be a mistake" and wouldn't work unless the U.S. was committed to being a permanent occupying force in the region."This is not an abstraction," Obama said. "When we send troops in, those troops get injured. They get killed."While Obama did not single out his critics by name, some Republican presidential candidates, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, have called for sending U.S. forces into Syria. Bush has also suggested that any U.S. assistance to refugees fleeing the Middle East should be primarily focused on Christians, another idea that rankled Obama."That's shameful," Obama declared. "That's not American. That's not who we are."Republicans and also some Democrats have challenged Obama's approach to the Islamic State, saying he lacks a clear strategy. The president's approach centers largely on airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, as well as programs to train and equip moderate opposition forces. He's also sent more than 3,000 troops to Iraq to assist that country's security forces and recently announced plans to send up to 50 Americans into Syria.Obama said he envisioned escalating that strategy, not overhauling it. And he called on other nations to step up their involvement in the fight against the extremists. France has already ramped up its response following the attacks that killed at least 129 people and injured hundreds. In its heaviest strikes yet, French military bombarded Raqqa, the Islamic State's stronghold in Syria, in hopes of killing Islamic State organizers and trainees-Obama announced a new effort to share intelligence with France following the coordinated terror spree across Paris that killed at least 129 people and injured hundreds. Officials said the U.S. was already using intelligence to help France identify targets for the airstrikes.The Islamic State's increasing focus on targets outside the military has raised questions about whether Obama underestimated the group. He once referred to the extremists as a "JV team" and said shortly before the Paris attack that their capacity in Iraq and Syria had been contained.The president conceded there were challenges in defeating the Islamic State given that its fighters have a "willingness to die.""If you have a handful of people who don't mind dying, they can kill a lot of people," he said.While officials say the U.S. had been aware of the Islamic State's desire to strike targets outside the Middle East, Obama said he had not been briefed on any intelligence that indicated an attack in Paris was likely."I'm not aware of anything that was specific," he said.Obama's comments followed a two-day meeting with leaders from the Group of 20 rich and developing countries. The meeting in the seaside city of Antalya, just a few hundred miles from the Syrian border, was planned before the Paris attacks, but the carnage there ratcheted up the urgency in the talks.The discussions about the Islamic State came amid a glimmer of progress in efforts to end the Syrian civil war, which created the chaos that allowed the extremist group to thrive. A foreign ministers' meeting in Vienna over the weekend resulted in a new diplomatic plan that envisions negotiations between Syrian President Bashar Assad's government and opposition groups starting by Jan. 1.Still, sharp differences over Assad's future and disagreements about what militant groups in Syria should be considered terrorists have dampened hopes for a breakthrough.Obama voiced optimism about the plan, saying he had "some degree of hope" that the plan would provide a path forward. But he added, "We are very clear eyed about the very, very difficult road ahead."___Follow Julie Pace at http://twitter.com/jpaceDC
