If I were a world leader, I would probably be talking the same way.
Lets not beat around the bush, this is a religious war. It's born of Islam.
After ISIS is gone, perhaps over the years as we fight ISIS, another one will appear and another and so on.
Al Qaeda/Hamas/Hezbollah/Al Shabab/PLO, just groups I could name off the top of my head and that have existed in my lifetime.
More over the Muslim demographic is growing faster than every other here, this is as safe as it's ever going to be and the only time we could theoretically do something.
When the Muslim demographic reaches 10 % of the UK population is it going to be easier or harder to address the problems inherent in Islam ?
Polygamy. Female genital mutilation, child brides, preaching terrorism is ok........... all practiced by this group.
Removing them of any social responsibility to change/reform their religion and forcing the rest of the UK residents to live as we do is sickening.
We are going to end up like the Balkans, or worse, Bosnia.

The most obvious one (to me) is that he's trying to fight negative opinion of his recent anti-ISIS actions. By convincing UK muslims that he empathises with them, he can spin his airstrikes as 'having their best interests at heart'. The last thing he needs is civil unrest at home so if he has islamic opinion split over his motives and the support of the softer liberal crowd he reduces the chance of either any action being taken by pro-islamist groups or general public support for any action taken by those groups.The last thing he needs to do is tell the truth, how many hard working Britons have to die or have their children interfered with by second/third generation immigrants before we hold them socially responsible?
It's also likely that he's trying to stay in power. This has 2 main aspects to it:
a) being nice to voters
b) limiting the recent progress made by UKIP through combatting marginalisation of the islamic minority
Although ultimately self-serving, the second impact has potential positives. Certainly by making negative comments about islam, he would be feeding the fires that are currently being fanned by the likes of UKIP who are in the process of siphoning-off Conservative voters. I'm for any action that weakens UKIP.
If he, arguably the most powerful person in politics, can be held ransom by the 4-5% Muslim demographic, what's it going to be like when they 10% or 20% ?
This demographic is growing so fast we will see horrid things happen here before we die, because nobody does anything to confront them.
