Washington: US President Barack Obama has warned Americans to refrain from blaming Islam for terrorism and said that ISIS and other terror groups were depicting the fight against terrorism as a war between Islam and the West.
According to the Dawn, it was Obama`s third address to his nation since last week`s terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, in which 14 Americans were killed.
Terrorist attacks in San Bernardino and in Paris, last month, have increased anti-Muslim feelings in the West.
Obama claimed that from Democrats to Republicans, liberals and conservatives, Americans are standing up, forcefully, to religious bigotry across the political spectrum.
