Why Saying ‘Radical Islamic Terrorism’ Isn’t Enough
President Trump has abandoned the Obama administration’s name for the fight against ISIS. But he shouldn’t abandon the underlying strategy."The Islamic State will go away, but violent extremism will not. The way to defeat radical Islamic extremism is to help our Islamic allies and promote the voices of mainstream Islam that reject everything the Islamic State does and stands for. Defeating the Islamic State on the military battlefield is only temporary. Violent extremism — or whatever you call it — must be defeated on the battlefield of ideas."
