Re: Knives are out: Hawaii Dem faces backlash for taking on Obama over Islamist extre
Just because Obama says something does not make it true.
Too many liberals are just yes-men
We are not giving the Islamic state any propaganda victory, they are not looking for the world's approval. While we are debating whether or not to call them Moslems, the Islam state is probably calling themselves Moslems and exclaiming that as they kill people.
It is incredibly stupid to support the usage of the term "radical Islam" because in doing so you are essentially handing a propaganda victory to terrorists by associating them with genuine Islam. So anybody who supports usage of this term is supporting shooting ourselves in the foot. The irrational desire to use the term even when it is strategically harmful to do so can only be explained as a ignorant attitude towards Islam generally, which is totally unacceptable. Usually you see this sort of idiocy from the Republicans, it is a bit surprising to see it from a Democrat this time. Glad that she is facing backlash.
