Illinois Democratic Senate candidate Rep. Tammy Duckworth said on Monday that politicians are contributing to the rise of Islamic terrorists in the United States by calling for stricter immigration laws.
Duckworth singled out her Republican opponent, Sen. Mark Kirk, and presidential candidate Donald Trump, as two politicians who are allegedly âplay[ing] right into ISISâs handsâ and aiding the radicalization of Muslims in the United States during an interview with the Chicago Tribune editorial board.
Duckworth made the comments while discussing two Iraqi refugees in Texas and California who were recently arrested on terror related charges.
âIn the case of those two young people, the Iraqi refugees in Texas, they came [to the United States] as teenagers,â said Duckworth.
âThey were radicalized because theyâve been on these talk hotlines with ISIS, because they see people like Mark Kirk demonizing Muslims and Islam and wanting to shut down our borders. And thatâs how we turn people against us, when we play right into ISISâs hands.â
Duckworth tried to walk back her comments when pressed by the editorial board.
âIâm sorry, you think they were radicalized by U.S. politicians?â said a member of the Chicago Tribune editorial board.
âNo, I think they were radicalized by ISIS, who are attempting to get U.S. politicians and the United States to react in fear,â Duckworth said âAnd we canât react in fear, and we canât go against our values and we have to guard against that.â

Time for you to go home now.
OK enough is enough, the Dem party needs to be purged as they have gone totally nuts in these last few years.
Oh so true, and overdue
Muslims will always turn to more violence, when a nation stands up to Muslim violence.
The only resolution to the problem of Muslims is to defeat them.
ok i see what is going on. the next time we get hit...it will be the fault of people wanting border control. of course the masses will agree. we are so screwed.
If by “defeat” you mean “kill”, I agree with you.
So you're saying we have to keep new ones out, while also getting rid of all the Muslims who are already here.
Thanks for the tip, Tammy.
“U.S. Muslims Are Being Radicalized by Politicians Calling for Border Control”
And every other religion manages to not.

I think we are seeing the next technique of Leftist propaganda against any Conservative initiative.
“Lower taxes will cause Muslims to be radicalized.”
“A strengthened military will cause Muslims to be radicalized.”
“Elimination of the Department of Education will cause Muslims to be radicalized.”
“Protecting the Second Amendment will cause Muslims to be radicalized.”
Etc., etc., etc.
Forget political speeches. Beyonce’s half-time show will be used as a recruiting tool for ISIS. It had all the marks of the Great Satan that they will volunteer to fight against.
One of the great minds of the century.
Jane Fonda: Donald Trump pushing young Muslims 'closer to the terrorists'
[[Muslims will always turn to more violence, when a nation stands up to Muslim violence.]]
Nope , it is actually the opposite.
They see kindness as a weakness , the minute they think you are weak and won’t fight back they puff up.
A patent, absurd lie.
France, with virtually no border controls (Schengen Treaty participant) lost 160 dead by radicalized Moslem terrorists.
Under her logic, we hope to placate Muslims by letting many more in, who are ALREADY radicalized.
Duck-billed platypus.
“I wasn’t going to be a terrorist but since you’ve insulted my character, I guess I will be!”
Lamest apologia ever.
