Folks,
Hillary has made the wise point that Trump is a good recruiting sergeant for ISIL. Of course this does not just apply to ISIL but to the many related Islamic radical groups fighting across the Middle East and elsewhere. Indeed, he may achieve the almost impossible by uniting all the Islamic fighters against one common enemy.
It is worth noting that 25% of the entire world's population are Muslims. Of course, it does not follow that being a Muslim is an inclination to being radical, but Trump has not made that distinction. This will be a good point if and when Hillary has to take on Trump in a political battle.

ISIS followers not into whether West likes or dislikes Muslims, other reasons drives them.
The real danger of Trump is :
25% of world population, so called Muslims .. Indonesia (biggest Muslim nation), India (2nd biggest Muslim nation), Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Arabs, North Africans (leaving Iran out as Iranian do not consider themselves Muslims .. there is a reason why there is not a single Iranian as terrorist in Western jails) .. suddenly might think .. wait a minute ..this whole thing .. looks more like "Clash of civilization" and no war against terrorism.
West must pay special attention this stays "war against terrorism" .. and not morph to "Clash of Civilization" .. not only West would lose beating 25% of world population (probably many others would join that 25%, thinking yesterday west did not like Jews, today west does not like Muslims, tomorrow west could not like Hindu or Buddhists) .. but .. beating terrorism would become impossible.
Am puzzled why western leaders fanning Islam bashing ? ? ? laws are already in place to stop this, laws enacted trying to stop "entrenched" historical Christian anti-Semitism, hate speech .. a fraction of things thrown against Muslims, directed against Jews, would put anybody in Jail for sure.
ISIS is result of wrong and stupid western policies in all that space, still same policies in place .. thinking ME people still the sheep used 2B and you guys the lions used 2B .. the whole thing must change, the map and all things coming with it.
Fact is, ME, Arab speaking space, and Turkey and Pakistan etc, were created "artificial" by western colonial powers based on those days school .. those schools do not stand now that ME people are awaken and west has lost the military advantage .. back then the "Gatling gun" pointed the direction things would move .. now, not even nulcear bomb can force things movin any direction.
That is when our beloved Persia comet into play
Iran, Persia, in that space, is the only nation in place last 5000 yrs, gathering experience in humanity and
#1 civilization in the world (#2 being China) .. all other players today created by "drunk British Generals", Turkey "misplaced" (coming from steps of central Asia destroying that Wonderfull Byzantine civilization), Beduin of Arabian sands now playing big boys saying head of "Greater Syria" had to go ..
Things badly distorted, knotted .. only our beloved Persia in a position to open those knots
Amen
