Avoiding Reality

November 19, 2015 --

Hillary Rodham Clinton, at the Democratic presidential debate, November 14, refused to declare that we are at war with "radical Islam." She said, "I think we are at war with Jihadists."

LPR would inquire: what is the concept of "jihad" if not an expression of "radical Islam?" "Radical" by one definition, means departure from the usual or traditional.

Why should candidate Clinton, President Obama -- anyone, have a problem with calling ISIS an expression of radical Islam. Is ISIS a departure from traditional Islam -- or isn't?
