Put simply, we are still at war with radical Islamic groups and an ideological movement that can't be ignored nor wished away.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We are in a global war with a radical and violent form of the Islamic religion, and it is irresponsible and dangerous to deny it.
On military battlefields, we have defeated radical Islamic forces every time we have seriously gone after them, from Iraq to Afghanistan.
We need to make sure these Islamic terrorist organizations don't become mainstream. We're fighting an ideology as much as a group of radical terrorists.
We have to fight radical Islam wherever it exists. It's in Afghanistan, it's in Saudi Arabia, throughout the Middle-East in big numbers and it's in the United States.
The fact to the matter is, we never developed a comprehensive strategy to deal with radical Islam. And the 9/11 commission said one of the things we must do is develop a global alliance to combat it.
Well, today, we are in the struggle brought on to us by the terrorists of Islam. It is a war that we did not choose. It was a war that was declared against us as Americans, against our people, against our Constitution.
We are in a struggle against the forces of radical Islam and terror, which must be defeated for our children and our grandchildren.
We're still stymied by the old stand-off between those who wish to fight terrorism and resistance fighters.
We must remember that Islam is not an enemy, and we have no war with Islam.
We are not at war against Islam.
