Nice: Neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama Mention 'Islam'

Neither former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton nor President Barack Obama mentioned “Islam” or “radical Islam” in their responses to the Nice terror attack on Thursday.

A statement released by Clinton on Twitter referred to “terrorism” but not “radical Islam.”

Clinton called into The O’Reilly Factor on Fox News on Thursday evening — a rare foray by the presumptive Democratic nominee.

She mentioned “this is a war against these terrorist groups, these radical jihadist groups,” but did not ascribe the attacks directly to “Islam” or “radical Islam.”

For many months, Clinton refused to acknowledge the role of radical Islam in terror. In a November presidential primary debate, held in the immediate aftermath of the Paris terror attacks, she declined to say “radical Islam” because she said doing so would be “painting with too broad a brush.”

On Twitter, she said at the time that Muslims “have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism,” refusing to distinguish between Muslims in general and radical Muslims in particular.

Because driving a big, heavy, wide truck through a large crowd "paints with to broad of a brush".

I get it?

Or flying airplanes into buildings.

Maybe they're just trying not to directly acknowledge them in order to not give them the satisfaction.

Why, because naming your enemy strengthens its resolve?

With so many reasons not to, it's a wonder Clinton has any support at all.

The radical Islamists will not change whether you reveal them by what they are or not. They are on a mission to rid the world of infidels. That's you!
