Obama Praises Islam and Avoids the Real Reality of Jihad

Obama in India put on the spot about Islam and Jihad. He dances around Jihad not wanting to define it with the most simple definition--a holy war waged by Muslims against infidels. By the way, Christians, Jews, and basically all people who don't believe in Allah are infidels.
Something tells me Obama is not an infidel.

Here's the transcript:

Well, the phrase jihad has a lot of meanings within Islam and is subject to a lot of different interpretations. But I will say that, first, Islam is one of the world’s great religions. And more than a billion people who practice Islam, the overwhelming majority view their obligations to their religion as ones that reaffirm peace and justice and fairness and tolerance. I think all of us recognize that this great religion in the hands of a few extremists has been distorted to justify violence towards innocent people that is never justified.

And so I think one of the challenges that we face is how do we isolate those who have these distorted notions of religious war and reaffirm those who see faiths of all sorts — whether you are a Hindu or a Muslim or a Christian or a Jew or any other religion, or your don’t practice a religion — that we can all treat each other with respect and mutual dignity, and that some of the universal principles that Gandhi referred to — that those are what we’re living up to, as we live in a nation or nations that have very diverse religious beliefs.

He acts like this is something relatively new and limited to just a few bad apples but this has gone back many centuries and was the reason for the Crusades. It's not as simple as Obama makes this out to be as his answer is weak and like mentioned, he doesn't condemn it.
