Woman Who Claims She Isn’t Running for President Says Islamic State isn’t Islamic By Daniel Greenfield
Hillary Clinton used an appearance in Ottawa, Ontario, on Monday to talk up the work she did to combat “violent extremism” during her time as secretary of state.
“We took decisive action against the threat of violent extremism,” Clinton said of her four years as America’s top diplomat.
Sure, she defeated Al Qaeda. That’s why we’re fighting Al Qaeda while her man Leon is going around slamming Obama for his security failures, while being careful not to mention Hillary.
What decisive action did “we” take, aside from Obama’s failed attempt to shut down Gitmo by capturing Bin Laden and bringing him to the US for a civilian trial. (The dead Bin Laden was down to the SEALS, not Barry O.)
But we’re committed to fighting violent extremism, man-caused disasters and assorted other euphemisms.
On Monday, the former secretary of state called dealing with ISIS a “long-term struggle” in which military action is essential.
Way to stake out a bold and controversial position.
The former first lady also refused to call the group by the name it calls itself: the Islamic State.
“Whether you call them ISIS or ISIL, I refuse to call them the Islamic State, because they are neither Islamic or a state,” Clinton said. “Whatever you call them, I think we can agree that the threat is real.”
Is Hillary contending that ISIS is made up of non-Muslims or that it isn’t dedicated to the proposition of making everyone follow Islamic law?
Hillary Clinton can’t decide what to call ISIS, but the one thing she knows is that they can’t be Islamic. Certainly not terrorists. Maybe some sort of violent extremists.
Like the Tea Party.
But military action is “not sufficient alone.”
“There has to be more,” Clinton said. “You have to combat them on social media.”
Great plan. We’ll defeat ISIS on Twitter.
