Democrats’ PC Refusal to Name ‘Radical Islam’ Betrays a Deeper Weakness

During Saturday’s debate, all three Democratic presidential candidates refused to say that the U.S. was at war with “radical Islam.” They all bobbed and weaved as they tried to follow the PC line and avoid admitting that obvious fact.

“I don’t think we’re at war with Islam, I don’t think we’re at war with all Muslims, I think we’re at war with jihadists,” Hillary Clinton said. “You can talk about Islamists who clearly are also jihadists.” She went on to urge outreach to Muslim countries — ironically, many of which recognize that perverted strains of Islam are indeed at war with them and modernity itself.

Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley were equally unwilling to say the words “radical Islam,” and Sanders went so far as to claim that climate change was the greatest threat to U.S. security.

The charade led GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee to tweet out a message for the trio: “You’re all grown up now. You can do it. Three words. Ten syllables. Say it with me: ‘Radical Islamic terrorism.’”

Senator Marco Rubio put the liberal argument to rest on NBC’s Meet the Press this Sunday, noting that ignoring ISIS’s background would “be like saying we weren’t at war with Nazis, because we were afraid to offend some Germans who may have been members of the Nazi party but weren’t violent themselves. I don’t understand it. We are at war with radical Islam.”
