Islam itself is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.The Daily Mail continues:
Blaming 'radical Islamic terrorism' for vicious attacks of the sort that killed 129 people last Friday in Paris, she said, 'is not just a distraction.' Affiliating them with a religion, Clinton insisted, 'gives these criminals, these murderers, more standing than they deserve.'Exactly how many jihadis are not Muslims? Exactly zero. Do jihadis believe it is all about their faith? Yes, they do. Outsiders defining jihadis as non-Muslims doesn't make them so. ISIS is an end-times apocalyptic Muslim movement.
If Clinton/Obama had said there are good Muslims and bad Muslims, who could disagree? I get they don't want to blame all Muslims for violent jihad. I agree not all Muslims are actively involved.
Perhaps many do not support it, although I'm less certain of that. Many Europeans who stayed home supported the Crusades, I suspect many nonviolent Muslims tacitly support the jihad.
Saying the bad actors are not Muslims is nonsense. Not looking for jihadis among Muslims is like not looking for Mafiosi among Sicilians. Profiling works, which is why the FBI and other law enforcement agencies have profilers.
