to do anything to further inflame those passions. the second reason i took it out is because what other kind of extremists are there in libya? why was this change necessary in the first place? was this an act of appeasement towards the muslim world? joining us now to discuss that is the president of the american islamic forum for democracy. thank you, clayton. nice to be with you. why did you make this why did he make this change? why do you think he was necessary. he has the wrong talking points or he takes us for fools because the whole concept of appeasement for the muslim brotherhood groups in the west is to try to disengage islam from the military assistance. those groups over there. he is he talking about not
firm and zuhdi jasser, of the american islamic forum for democracy. gentlemen, thank you very much for being here today. you know, i guess that s the question. earlier in the show today we outlined the 10 countries in which christians have been targeted and killed. more than 100 churches have been burned and ruined in the course of this terrorism that exists. mike, let me start with you. if we don t call it what it is, and we don t recognize from whence it comes, can we ever hope to deal with it? not in as effective a manner as we should. you know you have to be able to understand the nature of the beast if you re taking it on but this has been a reluctance for years now, stretching back into the bush administration, and it s been a fairly concerted effort to delink this, this, these words, essentially, trying to remove the words fundamentalist terrorism, of radical islam, from our language and to the point where they have
