Let's see what Obama said...
You're not cool with this?
Or this?
^ You don't understand this?
"Where does this stop?" Obama asked. "Do Republican officials actually agree with this? Because that's not the America we want. It's doesn't reflect our democratic ideals. It won't make us more safe. It will make us less safe, fueling ISIL's notion that the West hates Muslims." ISIS has already produced recruiting videos featuring Trump's comments on Muslims and immigration this year.
“If we fall into the trap of painting all Muslims with a broad brush and imply that we are at war with an entire religion, then we are doing the terrorists’ work for them,”
You're not cool with this?
"What exactly would using this label accomplish?" Obama asked "What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to trying to kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this? The answer is none of the above...This is a political distraction."
Or this?
"Groups like ISIL and Al Qaeda want to make this a war between Islam and America, or Islam and the West," he said. "They want to claim that they are the true leaders of more than a billion Muslims around the world who reject their crazy notions. They want us to validate them."
