Islam IS the problem.
Agreed, but for a politician this is a major step up to the plate. Most of our 'leaders' in Washington (or our Governors) will just attribute this war to 'lone wolves' or workplace violence.
Sure, we'd like a political leader to say that islam is a Satanic religion that is dedicated to bring misery to the world - as dictated by the Koran - but that isn't going to happen and I'll take baby step comments.
