Donald Trump said Sunday that "radical Muslims" are a problem in the United States -- even if all of the religion's members aren't.
"You have radicals that are doing things. I mean, it wasn't people from Sweden that blew up the World Trade Center, Jake," Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
His comments come after a controversy that erupted late last week when, at a Trump campaign event, a man said, "We have a problem in this country -- it's called Muslims."

This is getting interesting.
Why try to refute something that is true?
Good for Donald
This and Ben Carsons comments should be bringing out the wet hen pundits by the truckload, i can imagine thousands of phone calls going out right now ftom CAIR mobilizing their army.
There is so little difference between radical Muslims and Muslims that your only indication may be when one kills you.
The Chinese investigated why western civilization had done so much better and concluded that Christianity allowed Christians to trust other Christians even though they’d just met. Muslims don’t even trust each other as they mostly have the same problems with each other that we have with them.
“...it wasn’t people from Sweden that blew up the World Trade Center, Jake”
(actually there are now a lot of radical Muslims in Sweden now, but we all get his point)
Even Muslims know that Trump is right. And WE ALL know that you don’t stop terrorism by forcing TSA to feel up 10 grandmothers for each Saudi national, or whatever their quota is these days.
...but the reaction will be fun to watch!
Pretty much the same thing he said about Mexicans....you have good ones, “really great ones!”, and you have bad ones, “really bad ones”.
He’s consistent in calling out the truth about folks.
I LOVE how Trump is playing the media. Driving MSM/UniParty nuts! Let’s see how Snarly, Hellary/Burny answer these questions.
Trump has CYA’d nicely.
Fundamentalist Islamists? Prezzy Muhammad can’t find them to fund them.
This will dominate the news cycle for a little while now.
You are so right. Many polls have shown that a huge swath of ordinary Muslims harbor terrorist sympathies. This disturbing fact is rarely cited.
I’d rather be a Trump supporter than a member of his bodyguard.

You may not be able to tell the difference, in a little while.
“This disturbing fact is rarely cited. “
Liberalism will accept any ally it can as long as that ally promises to kill liberalism’s enemies*. Apparently liberals see no danger in doing this. They are able to ignore any danger other than the “danger” of thinking that is not identical to theirs. One would think they also would look at Islam’s tenants and realize that there is no difference in Islam’s eyes between adherents of Alinsky and followers of the Constitution.
* An enemy of liberalism is anybody who is not them. They’ll marry a black to prove how inclusive they are, but call Ben Carson and Clarence Thomas Uncle Toms.
I sense this attempt at trying to smear Trump for not being politically correct about Islam, in other words telling the truth, is going to blow up in the liberals faces. Ordinary people know there’s a big problem with Islam, and they are sick of 14 years of establishment propaganda to the contrary. Trump isn’t about to back down like all the GOPe cowards always do. I expect him to have a big bump on the polls over this.
What Trump is avoiding acknowledging (what most politicians avoid acknowledging) is that while moderate Muslims claim to disagree with the tactics radicals use, they do NOT disagree with the goals. And “disagree” is a pretty lukewarm response when the money you donated to the mosque is used to commit atrocities in other countries, and you keep donating.
This Guy is Good !
THAT very fact explains clearly the open Islamophobia around the world.
