There is a distinction being made that we are fighting terrorists, not a religion. ISIS is trying to say the West hate muslims and is making war on muslims. Some Western leaders (Obama among them) prefer to identify specific violence using groups rather than use language that targets religion.
A while ago the IRA was doing a lot of killing in Ireland. About that time I was a practicing Catholic. No, I wasn't pleased by language directed at all Catholics. Not sure whether this is important or another weird form of political correctness.
But whatever you call them, what, are you going to deny visas to a certain group of individuals who present a risk? You have a solid method of identifying them other than religion?
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
