You think he doesn't know? If he came out public and said it, we'd probably have WWIII in about 5 seconds. So instead he does a rope-a-dope and talks about how Islam is a religion of peace. What he says about Islam won't change Islam, so why stir the pot if there's nothing to gain. It's politically more advantageous to act like Islam is peaceful whether it's true or not.
