Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the Democratic Party presidential debate on Saturday evening in Iowa that she would not use the phrase “radical Islam” to describe the enemy responsible for attacking the United States and the west in general.
The exchange with moderator John Dickerson of CBS News was as follows (rush transcript):
Moderator: Secretary Clinton, you mentioned radical jihadists.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), also running for president, said this attack showed it’s attack in Paris showed that we are at war with radical Islam. Do you agree with that characterization “radical Islam?”
Clinton: I don’t think we’re at war with Islam. I don’t think we’re at war with all Muslims. I think we’re at war with jihadists
Moderator: Just to interrupt. he didn’t say all Muslims. He said “radical Islam.”
Clinton: I think you can talk about Islamists who clearly are also jihadists, but I think it’s not particularly helpful to make the case that Senator Sanders was just making that I agree with that we’ve got to reach out to Muslim countries. We’ve got to have them be part of our coalition. If they hear people running for president who basically shortcut it to say we are somehow against Islam, that was one of the real contributions, despite all the other problems, that George W. Bush made after 9/11 when he basically said after going to a mosque in Washington, we are not at war with Islam or Muslims. We are at war with violent extremism. We are at war with people who use their religion for purposes of power and oppression. And, yes, we are at war with those people. But I don’t want us to be painting with too broad a brush.
Clinton’s two opponents, former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley and Sen. Bernie Sanders likewise refused to use the term “radical Islam.” O’Malley said: “I believe calling it what it is is to say, ‘radical jihadis.’ That’s calling it what it is. John, let’s not fall into the trap of thinking that all of our Muslim-American neighbors in this country are somehow our enemies here. They are our first line of defense.”
Sanders, who earlier had reaffirmed his view that climate change is a greater threat than terrorism (and, in fact, causes terrorism), said: “I don’t think the term is what’s important.”

Ahmed Almuhamed posed as a Syrian refugee when he came into Europe and he is a well known ISIS terrorist.
Two passports were found near the bodies of suicide bombers in Paris. One of the passports belonged to a 25-year-old Syrian national named Ahmed Almuhamed, the other one to a native of Egypt.
The first gunman to be identified was a 29-year-old Muslim named Omar Ismaël Mostefai who was born and lived in Courcouronnes, France (a town 25km south of Paris in Essonne). Omar is the son of an Algerian immigrant family, thus making him a second generation migrant, yet he was still overtaken by hatred against Christian European people. The terrorists have been heard by numerous witnesses shouting “Allahu Akbar”.
Ahmed Almuhamed’s identity was brought to light thanks to Greek and Serbian politicians who said they had record of him passing through their countries in October, as an asylum seeker/refugee, entering Greece on October 3 and Serbia on October 7. Back then, when Hungary was warning of potential ISIS terrorists infiltrated among the so-called refugees, everyone called them derogatory names such as Islamophobes or racists! Today Hungary has proven to be right and their recent built border wall quite necessary.
The Egyptian terrorist’s name is unknown as of yet because the French authorities are doing their best to hide the identities of the terrorists so that the French people won’t openly revolt against the Muslim invaders. French authorities have gone even a step further in protecting the invaders, by banning any type of protest in all of France.
The police are studying the found documents to use the information for further investigation of the terrorist attacks in Paris.
Reportedly, one of the accomplices of the terrorists, who organized the attacks in the capital of France, was arrested on November 12, the day before the tragedy, in Bavaria. The terrorist was heading to France carrying with several kilograms of TNT and firearms.
According to journalist Inna Smbatyan, who had moved to Paris, there is no panic in the city. People are frightened with what has happened, but they try to remain calm.
“I went out, and the city was empty. You can walk along the Champs Elysees and you can count the passing cars. There are either very bold people or tourists in the streets. All shops and entertainments centers in the city are closed. Christmas fairs are not working, and I am not sure whether they are going to work this year at all. No one knows yet, whether schools are going to open next week, but most likely they will,” the journalist said in an interview with politonline.ru

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has blamed the United States for the creation of Daesh (ISIS/ISIL), after the Islamic terrorist group claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks.
At least 129 people were killed in multiple coordinated attacks on Friday night in one of the deadliest assaults to hit the French capital since the World War II. Some 352 were also injured, including 99 who are in critical condition, in the attacks.
On Saturday, ISIL claimed responsibility for the attacks, calling them “the first of the storm” and denounced France as a “capital of prostitution and obscenity.”
Speaking at a GOP meeting in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday, Santorum said US President Barack Obama and former Foreign Secretary Hillary Clinton are responsible for creating Daesh.
He said that the terrorist group “is a creation of a political decision by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to abandon Iraq — against all of our generals’ recommendations, against all of the policy recommendations.”
“Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, under her watch, decided politics above the security of our country and the stability and security of the world,” said Santorum, who served as a senator representing Pennsylvania from 1995 to 2007.
ISIL terrorists, who were initially trained by the CIA in Jordan in 2012 to destabilize the Syrian government, now control parts of Syria and Iraq. They have been engaged in crimes against humanity in the areas under their control.
The United States and its allies have been conducting airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq and Syria since last year.
Observers say while the US and its allies claim they are fighting against terrorist groups like ISIL, they in fact helped create and train those organizations to affect their policies in the Middle East.
According to US geopolitical commentator Dean Henderson, the United States and its allies have encouraged the spread of the ISIL terrorist group in the Middle East to create a “perpetual war” in the region and advance the American military-industrial complex.
“This is what ISIS is all about, this is the reason that ISIS exists, because we’re going to be able to make a lot more arms sales to a lot more actors in the Middle East,” said Dean Henderson, an author and columnist at Veterans Today, using another acronym for the terror network.

Poland’s future minister for European affairs said his government will not accept EU-mandate quotas for refugees following the terrorist attacks in France.
Konrad Szymanski, who will take the office on Monday as part of the country’s new conservative government, said his cabinet didn’t agree with their predecessors’ commitment to take a share in the refugee burden.
Now, “in the face of the tragic acts in Paris, we do not see the political possibilities to implement” the plan, he told the right-leaning news portal wPolityce.pl.
Poland joins a quartet of EU members that have defied Brussels’ plan to redistribute the inflow of asylum seekers from the Middle East and North Africa among members of the union. Security concerns are high among the reasons touted by Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which don’t want to accept predominantly Muslim refugees on their soil.
The string of terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday night killed at least 128 people. The French government considers the terrorist group Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) as the culprit behind the tragedy. In fact, IS claimed responsibility for the attacks, threatening more to come.

Open border policy likely to come under intense scrutiny after last night’s bloodshed.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel responded to the Paris massacre by calling for “tolerance” towards migrants and respect for “the right of everyone to seek his fortune and live,” as her policy of allowing in hundreds of thousands of refugees came under fresh scrutiny.
“We believe in the right of everyone to seek his fortune and live, to the respect for the other and tolerance,” said Merkel. “We know that our free life is stronger than any terrorist. Let’s give the terrorists the answer by living our values confidently. And as we affirm these values throughout Europe. Now more than ever.”
Just last month, top security experts warned Merkel that the middle class in Germany is becoming “radicalized” in response to the migrant influx and that domestic unrest may occur as a result.
The warning was “circulated among high-ranking security officials in the federal government,” according to the report.
With Poland already announcing that it will refuse to take in any more refugees after the bloody attacks in Paris, Merkel’s open border policy, already under fierce criticism, is likely to face intense opposition given ISIS’ vow to smuggle in jihadists amidst the waves of migrants.
Meanwhile, Front National leader Marine Le Pen struck a far different tone to Merkel, calling on France to tighten its borders.
“France must determine who its friends are and who its enemies are. France’s enemies are those who maintain links with Islamism. Once and for all, France must recapture control of its borders,” said Le Pen.
“Islamist fundamentalism must be destroyed, radical mosques must be closed and radicals clerics must be expelled. French terrorists must be stripped of their citizenship and banned from this country.”

A video from a residential area in Vladivostok, Far-Eastern Russia, posted online this Tuesday shows every single car skid and crash on a slippery road as they try to take a sharp turn.
The author of the video claims to have recorded it from his window in just two hours: from 7 to 9am. Later that day, he adds, communal services sprinkled sand over the ice, which immediately reduced the slippery effect.
Vladivostok is Russia’s largest port on the Pacific Ocean, it regularly gets iced due to a combination of cold temperatures and humidity.
Some of the users condemned the videographer for filming instead of doing something about the dangerous turn to warn other drivers.
