Clinton explains why she won't say 'radical Islam'
CNN ^ | 12/6/15 | Eric Bradner

Posted on 12/07/2015 3:50:34 AM PST by markomalley

Hillary Clinton explained on Sunday that she won't use the term "radical Islam" because it "sounds like we are declaring war against a religion."

"It doesn't do justice to the vast number of Muslims in our country and around the world who are peaceful people," Clinton said in an appearance on ABC's "This Week."

"No. 2, it helps to create this clash of civilizations that is actually a recruiting tool for ISIS and other radical jihadists who use this as a way of saying, 'We are in a war against the West -- you must join us,'" she said.

Clinton has faced criticism in recent weeks for -- like President Barack Obama and other Democratic candidates -- refusing to use the term "radical Islamic terrorism" in the wake of ISIS attacks like the shootings in Paris.

Huma probably said she’d go back to her husband if Hilary wasn’t nice.

A shark is peaceful, gliding gracefully through the water. Then, it takes a bite out of your leg and swallows. Then it is peaceful again. You are missing a piece of your leg.

That is Islam.

It really just depends . . . it depends on your definition of “is,” I guess.

What difference, really, does it make at this point?

That is a GREAT analogy!

Democrats don’t want to recognize that if you are a Muslim you then go by the Quran. The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called ‘hypocrites’ and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter. So, Hillary, you are an infidel and the muzzies don’t care if you’re a Democrat or Republican. If you’re not a Muslim, bye bye!

It's important to note that over the last couple of days hilliarious! was fed two difficult questions that she needs to put behind her going into the real race: she's a liar and she's bj's doormat.

Both questions were posed by sycophants and neither followed-up to her blantanly bs answer.

Now she'll be able to say; I've answered those questions, well, no, she hasn't.

If for no other reason this is why Trump is the one to take it to her, he won't let her lie her way into office.

“she won’t use the term “radical Islam” because it “sounds like we are declaring war against a religion.”

She sounds more like the editor of a newspaper and not somebody who should be seeking the office of POTUS.

PEGGY NOONAN OBSERVES HILLARY: "Never in modern political history has such tenacity and determination been marshaled to achieve such puny purpose: the mere continuance of Them.....unprincipled narcissists in a WH thoroughly penetrated by the political left."

Hillary is precisely the wannabe the Founders guarded against---a power-monger with an army of acolytes, lying in wait to undo the govt that protects everyday Americans and our freedoms.

Remember Hillary's "announcement" ----arrogantly announcing her presidential whims amid struggling middle class people going about their business----she was downright scary.

Because taxpayers are struggling and Hillary had $2.5 billion spending "limit"...and no opponents back then.

Americans should be asking---why did this political retread raise $2.5 billion to get a job worth about $2 million w/ perks and free plane rides?

==============================================

When Hillary announced, she named four areas of focus for her campaign:
Number 4 was "Protecting Americans from external threats"

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

This as news reports ISIS terrorists are coming over the border, and salted in Syrian refugee hordes Obama is bringing into America. So don't expect candidate Hillary to actually do anything to protect Americans against this threat.

MEMORY LANE Hillary says: We must respect and empathize w/ Islamics (those who behead children)

Hillary Clinton has said some stupid things but this is simply astonishing: "This is what we call smart power," Clinton said to a small audience at Georgetown. "Using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security. Leaving no one on the sidelines. Showing respect even for one's enemies. Trying to understand, in so far as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view. Helping to define the problems, determine the solutions. That is what we believe in the 21st century will change -- change the prospects for peace."

Sap-happy progressives bought into Hillary/Obama's notion that getting greater cooperation from our allies, and less hostility from our enemies, was just a matter of giving them hugs and kisses. Hillary Clinton arrogantly declared it “smart power” (and fronted Time magazine cover).

When a person finds Christ and accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior, it is common for them to declare there transformation, the peace inside and a new found love for their fellow man. Can anyone show me the same testimony of any new convert to Islam?

Am sure I am wrong, but I never hear that testimony from any Muslims. I hear praises to Allah, but I never hear Praise to Allah, I am a free person, I glorify his name, and I praise Allah for the forgiveness of my sins which makes me free.

of course without which a religion can not be a religion of peace without forgivess and a love for mankind

Tie this around her neck and drag through the streets by it. Every ad. Every debate. Every interview. Hang her with this.

Romney, McCain, Yeb, Dole, etc. - they would NEVER take this golden opportunity to define Hillary by her own words. Trump and Cruz will. Therein lies the difference between past Presidential elections and this one.
