Like I said, it's just he constantly, constantly pushed that specific phrase. Never once suggested just "Islamic terrorism" be used.

You're really doubling down on this aren't you?

You're really doing the mental backflips to call Trump a hypocrite even though he is linking Islam to terrorism in the faces of Saudi government officials, something Obama never had the balls to do, aren't you?

Obama's refusal has always been to not say "Islamic terrorism".

From CNN

"There is no doubt, and I've said repeatedly, where we see terrorist organizations like al Qaeda or ISIL -- They have perverted and distorted and tried to claim the mantle of Islam for an excuse for basically barbarism and death," he said.
"These are people who've killed children, killed Muslims, take sex slaves, there's no religious rationale that would justify in any way any of the things that they do," he said. "But what I have been careful about when I describe these issues is to make sure that we do not lump these murderers into the billion Muslims that exist around the world, including in this country, who are peaceful, who are responsible, who, in this country, are fellow troops and police officers and fire fighters and teachers and neighbors and friends."

The President compared using the term to if a Christian were a murderer but claiming their religion in their actions.
"If you had an organization that was going around killing and blowing people up and said, 'We're on the vanguard of Christianity.' As a Christian, I'm not going to let them claim my religion and say, 'you're killing for Christ.' I would say, that's ridiculous," Obama said.

Do you see any hullabaloo over the word "radical"? I thought not.

Will you really keep insisting on this point even though everyone else on your side has fled from this topic?
