Why does Barack Obama refuse to acknowledge that most of the terrorism that plagues the world today is committed by Islamists? Because of two reasons: cowardice and worldview.
Obama is a committed leftist, and leftists see the world very differently than those who possess a Judeo-Christian worldview. Leftists don't believe in good and evil. Rather, they see everything as cause and effect.
In Obama's bizarre worldview--a worldview that's tragically shared by millions of folks across the world--there are only perpetrators and victims. A perpetrator is someone who does something bad to someone else, making them a victim.
Thus, at the recent White House Prayer Breakfast where Obama condescendingly reminded Christians of the infamous Crusades that took place many centuries ago during the Middle Ages, he was trying to explain away Islamic terrorism.
The Crusades were perpetrated by false Christians who persecuted non-Christians in the name of Jesus Christ. And those pseudo-Christians did so in opposition to what Christ taught concerning unbelievers. Christ never taught his followers to conquer the world for God by the sword.

But few folks understand that. And the Crusades happened a long time ago, didn't they? Yes, they did. However, in the deluded world of leftists, victims never forget.
And so, when the United States and a coalition of nations invaded Iraq in 1991 to drive Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait, leftists were convinced that the Islamic world saw the invasion as a modern crusade.
Thus, according to leftists, the attacks that took place on 9/11/2001 on American soil were a logical response to America's military muscle and presence in the Middle East. And when the U.S. returned to Iraq in 2003, leftists believed that enraged the Islamic world that has resulted in the growing attacks on Jews and Christians today throughout Europe and the Middle East.
And Barack Obama also believes that Israel's presence in the Middle East motivates Islamists to wage jihad against the west. He's convinced that Israel's continuing construction of settlements in East Jerusalem inflames the Islamic world and destabilizes the Middle East.
That's why Barack Obama treats Israel like dirt while refusing to link Islam with terrorism. And that's why Obama and leftists habitually mock and lampoon fundamental Christians while ignoring the violent ideology of Islamic terror groups such as ISIS, Boko Haram, Hezbollah, Hamas and al Qaeda.
Because leftists believe that Christians who have the audacity to obey the teachings of Jesus Christ and preach the gospel to the world (Matthew 28:16-20) insult non-Christians and provoke them to violence.
And they believe that if fundamental Christians can be bullied into silence, the Islamic world will calm down and everyone will live happily ever after. What utter nonsense.
The Islamic world isn't going to calm down. Islamic fundamentalists see appeasement as weakness. And they've earned special protection from western governments by portraying themselves as victims of religious and ethnic bigotry.
Those who dare criticize the violent theology embedded in the Qu'ran that motivates Muslims to persecute infidels are often threatened with lawsuits and even incarceration. And so, Islam's critics are bullied by leftists into silence.
But leftists are also bullied into silence by their own cowardice. They understand what will happen to them if they recognize that Islamists cannot be pacified by appeasement. Because if they do recognize that, then they'll have to fight them since Islam--as its theology clearly states--must conquer the world for Allah by the sword.
However leftists will never recognize that. Because they're cowards. Like classic bullies, they pick on those who don't fight back such as Christians and Jews. And they cower before those who do fight back.
And leftists will never admit that good and evil are moral absolutes that motivate people to behave the way they do. With leftists, it's always about perpetrators and victims. Sadly, leftists have become the ultimate victims of their own failed ideology they have perpetrated on the world for centuries.
