[QUOTE="cow451, post: 69798813, member: 308827"] The notion that Islam is the problem puts the emphasis on the less-meaningful aspect of terrorism. Therefore, it aids recruiting and minimizes the underpinnings of terrorism in general. It also oversimplifies the landscape. The typical "Islam is the problem" argument overlooks the conflicts among the various Islamic sects and the historical contexts. For example, Iraq was put together by the West after WWI with no recognition that it more naturally should be three countries. Islam, like Christianity, like Judaism cannot be "wiped out". So, it is blatantly silly to construct a campaign based on that notion. Even [I]Maajid Nawaz[/I] admits it. [I][URL='http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/11/19/isis-is-just-one-of-a-full-blown-global-jihadist-insurgency.html']But it is as disingenuous to argue that ISIS has “nothing to do with Islam” as it is to argue that “they are Islam.” ISIS has something to do with Islam. [/URL][/I] Where I am at odds with the idea that Clinton has to out-Trump Trump is that Trump is doing the very thing that feeds the problem. What sense is there for Clinton to aid terrorists recruiting in order to appeal to the lowest denominator? She cannot be Trump. She has to be Clinton and she can only do so by calling out Trump's stupidity for what it is. She is not going to beat Trump by being an even bigger liar on the immigration issue. [/QUOTE]
