NEW YORK: American Democratic Party’s presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has stressed that Muslims are “peaceful and tolerant people” and have “nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.”
According to details, in a speech given at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City, the former Secretary of State and First Lady discussed how she feels the United States should be doing more to combat the Islamic State terrorist organization.
She also criticized Republicans point of view who often claim “radical Islamic terrorism” is America’s biggest threat.
“The bottom line is that we are in a contest of ideas against an ideology of hate, and we have to win. Let’s be clear, though. Islam is not our adversary,” She argued “Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.
The obsession in some quarters with a clash of civilization or repeating the specific words, ‘radical Islamic terrorism’ isn’t just a distraction.”
“It gives these criminals, these murderers, more standing than they deserve,” she continued. “It actually plays into their hands by alienating partners we need by our side. Our priority should be how to fight the enemy.”
