Obama wants Americans to stop clinging to their guns and religion—so why doesn't he ask the same of Muslims?

Because he is Muslim himself

He wants Muslims to cling to their guns AND religion - an AK47 with a 30 round magazine, to be exact

Actually I like your analogy! Yes, I know that Obama didn't actually say that but what he did say as a very negative comment was, "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." Even Hillary who was running against him at the time leaped onto this and referred to Obama's statement as being "elitist". And the last time I checked Hillary was not reporting on Fox News!

He is asking Americans,both Christians and Muslims

Because he is a muslim and his 2-1/2 million muslims in our country in Army, communications, internet services, etc are waiting orders to start killing Americans openly. Mike

Because he is a muslim. And he wants all of America to turn to muslim and give up their guns so they don't kill any muslims. He would rather do it the Jihad wqy with bombs--you kill more people at one time then.

There is always a double standard. Of course America claims to be the "greatest nation on earth" and civilized. Cons criticize Muslims for everything, but they ignore their own religion.

He can ask things of Americans much more readily, though I see your point. The issue with clinging to something is that you can be easily manipulated by fear of loss. The Right can be brought to full righteous indignation at the mere mention of guns or Jesus. That is dangerous and is used time and again to get people to vote against their own best interests.

Crackhead

He knows he will be laughed at if he even whispers a suggestion such as "surrender all your guns pretty please" to any foreign country. Try Ukraine or Iraq, Iran etc.

He appears more courageous in the US because of the media and his fans rahrah ing behind him at home.

2 reasons!.first of all Muslims tend to cut the heads off those who disagree with them, and TWO, he's Muslim himself!
