"Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, responding to Tuesday’s terrorist attack in Istanbul, called for the United States to “defeat the forces of terrorism and radical jihadism around the world,” using a controversial term that many Democrats, including President Barack Obama, have argued wrongly links terrorism to the entire religion of Islam."

Marina Fang ought to read the newspapers (or some news source) before she starts writing dumb things. Clinton (and Obama? dunno) has been using "radical Jihadism" for months and months to avoid using "Islam." Rightfully so, I think.
