Dr Pipes you wrote

The Obama Doctrine is simple and universal: Warm relations with adversaries and cool them with friends.

This could very well be true but it does not explain why he and his VP and his CIA director insist on not using terms the likes of "islamic terrorism" or admit that the word Jihad really means holy war and victims are murdered by Muslim terrorists because of let us say being Christians and Jews and that there are indeed doctrines in Islam that explain the recent Yazidi Genocide and the enslavement of Yazidi women after all how can he have warm relations with a bunch of terrorists and this case Da'ish

I do believe that he is really misguided and he believes that if he is nice to Muslims and Islam then there will be no more Islamic terrorism which is clearly delusional because Muslims view such policy as weakness
