> [@SenorBeef](#): > > He said “she literally won’t say the words radical Islamic terrorism”, I don’t understand why she wouldn’t immediately speak those words and make him look stupid. “Radical Islamic terrorism is definitely a threat in the world today, but we can’t allow that to force us to mistreat Muslims who are good citizens” blah blah. She could’ve made him look like an idiot and used it as a jumping off point into her next statement. But instead it made him look correct, like she literally wouldn’t use the words radical Islamic terrorism. I don’t understand why she played it like that. Because he would spin that into a victory, just like he claimed he won the birther thing because he “made” Obama release his long form birth certificate. He’d insist that he, and he alone, was able to make the Democrats starts calling it “what it really is” ---

Yeah, go to Hillary’s website for fact checking. Is there anyone who would actually believe that’s credible? ---

> [@adaher](#): > > Yeah, go to Hillary’s website for fact checking. Is there anyone who would actually believe that’s credible?

> [@adaher](#): > > The phrase doesn’t tarnish the religion. What it does is tarnish an extremist version of it which unfortunately is the basis for governing in many nations which are supposedly our allies. That’s the real reason. There is virtually no daylight between the Saudi royal family and ISIS except on one issue: the Sauds like Western money and military support. Why is it so important for it to be Islamic Radical Terrorism? You gave an example of two small sects and are using those to brand an entire religion. Seems like Obama and Hillary have a really good reason to avoid that stigma. What does it do to address the problem?
