Love her!
She should take the job as Sec. of State and remove John Kerry.
I often wonder if the "non-radicalized" Muslims look at those that are kinda like we Christians look at people like Westboro Baptist Church.
They say that 15-20% of the Muslims have been "radicalized" but half don't want to be martyrs and or kill people. They just believe like those who have been. That's about 3 million Muslims who want to harm or could harm America and Other Countries, if they wanted to.
But if most Muslims do not believe this way, WHY is it that they won't speak out or condemn certain acts? I am talking mainly about those that are here in America. IF they have, PLEASE show me when and where, because I would love to see it.
And I ask this because of what just happened to a person working for an American company over in France...

The Muslims I knew in Turkey, that i spoke to about such, did in-fact view the radical Muslims in a way very much like the westboro folks are viewed.

Not quite, SGT (Join to see). Think of it similar to how a strikingly sad number of churches deal with domestic violence and molestation. These become internal "church matters" and speaking up publicly can be viewed as airing dirty laundry that will make everyone else look bad.

I lived in Turkey in the late 1950's and early 1960's when my father was stationed there. I will tell you I still have many friends from that period. They are concerned with the rise of Radical Islam. What is complicating things for them is the Kurds wanting to carve out a piece of South Western Turkey and Assad in Syria. Now with Putin and Russian troops in the mix....the whole thing is unstable for them.

I am a proud Christian and unlike those poor lost souls in Westboro, I try to be non-judgemental and believe that love will conquer hate. I would go insane if someone compared me to someone known as being so blatently hypocritical. I would image it would be the same for them. All they want is the freedom to practice their faith and everytime one of the extremists lashes out, they get looked at as the enemy. Even the most passive muslim has a breaking point and if they continue being harassed for peacefully practicing their religion, it is us who is to blame for creating another extremist. I try to look at what is in your heart, not what you wear on your head. I'm the first to admit that when I hear arabic I am back in the zone. But that isn't out of hate (necessarily). But anyone, regardless of religion, who kills to further their cause or justify their beliefs is the enemy of mankind, not just a certain religion.

To be honest I have no idea how they Muslim "extremists" are viewed by everyday, moderate Muslims because, aside from the onesies or twosies you may see/hear from on news shows, there is no word put forth in any great volume from the Muslim communities. I think this may be part of the reason that sideways glances are too often thrown in their direction by the average American or western citizen.

I listen to the Middle East news every day. It is all they talk about - defeating ISIS. I've been in this region continuously since 2000 and I can assure you the vast majority (around 99% or more) for my decry ISIS. They are not a religi bunch - they are a highly trained, well organized group of former Iraqi aren't officers and NCOs with an Army of illiterate psychopaths. They are conducting military campaigns - this isn't rabble. Everything they do has been deliberate - they are well organized.

Honestly wish you would here more from the organizations here at home in the states....this is even more of a reason for us to be fully committed to destroying these psychopaths, completely eliminate them from the face of the earth.....
