We are not at war against Islam.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We must remember that Islam is not an enemy, and we have no war with Islam.
I can say with a level of confidence that Islam is not a religion of war, only because the majority of Muslims don't subscribe to that perspective, not because there's something inherent in the text that tells me it's a religion of peace.
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.
Islamist terrorism is a cancer on Islam, and Muslims themselves must fight it at our side.
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.
Islamist terrorism has declared war against us, against France, Europe, the entire world.
The enemy is not Islam, the great world faith, but a perversion of Islam.
Islam is a peaceful religion.
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.
Put simply, we are still at war with radical Islamic groups and an ideological movement that can't be ignored nor wished away.
