Hillary Clinton, responding this morning to the Orlando terrorist attack, called on Americans not to "demonize" an "entire religion." Doing so, she said, just helps ISIS.
She appeared on CNN. Here's an excerpt:
CLINTON: “We cannot demonize, demagogue and declare war on an entire religion. That is just dangerous and it plays into the hands of ISIS and other jihadist terrorists. And so that’s why I have been focused on how we tackle this issue of self-radicalization, and at the same time, keep reaching out to Muslim Americans and to make it clear that they are a part of the American family. And they have as big a stake, if not a greater one, in working to bring our country together to stop these attacks, to prevent radicalization. But I will tell you one thing, hate is not the answer to hate. It is just not the answer."
