Former secretary of state and current Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took to Twitter to remind us that all Muslims are “peaceful and tolerant,” and have "nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism." We can all feel much better now.
"Let’s be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism."

Clinton then retweeted her own quote (self-five!) with an additional caveat claiming her pro-Muslim statement was "confronting an ideology of hate." Apparently, her mother never told her that "hate" is an awfully strong word.

Someone really ought to give the people behind the deadly terrorist attacks on Paris last weekend a heads-up in on this little tidbit. Momentarily setting aside the fact that there are other, less bomb-oriented followers of the Prophet Muhammad, we’re pretty sure those guys considered themselves Muslims.
