Summary: Hilary Clinton and others have received opposition after refusing to use the phrase "radical Islam" because she refuses to make it seem like she is against the religion as whole. Because there are Muslims who pay their taxes, have jobs, and peacefully carry out their religion, she wants there to be a clear distinction between the extreme jihadists who have carried out many recent attacks and peaceful regular Muslims.
Analysis: I applaud Hilary and others who are avoiding islamaphobia like the wave of it that came after 9/11. The people who are carrying out these acts of terror aren't Muslims, they're extremists. In order to stop the villinization of Muslims it's important that we as a country recognize that. Hopefully anti Muslim sentiment doesn't get as far as the anti Japanese sentiment did after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
