“Islam creates terrorism,” said Rush Limbaugh during his radio show on Monday.

“They’re trying to say that Trump’s executive order is gonna create more terrorism. ‘You better not limit immigration from any of these countries! It’s gonna make terrorists mad!’ How sophomoric is that? The United States does not create terrorists. Islam creates terrorism. Islam, however it’s interpreted by these people, creates terrorism. We don’t, other than we’re infidels by virtue of our existence. But Trump's’ executive order, I get so sick and tired of the same lame logic and talking points being put [out]... They don’t need any recruiting tools. They’ve got mosques where that happens.”

Many leftists, Muslims, and Democrats regularly advance the narrative of Islamic terrorism as a function of open and honest dialogue regarding its overlaps with Islam and Muslims. Proponents of this narrative also describe Islamic terrorism as a reaction against the advancement - or even discussion - of policies believed to anger Islamic terrorists and their supporters.



In other words, the narrative's advocates claim that Islamic terrorism can be reduced or even eliminated via acquiescence to the expressed demands or perceived desires of Islamic terrorists, Islamists, or Muslims more broadly.

Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Richardson, Michael Hayden, George Soros, and a plethora of news media outlets have advanced and continue to advance the aforementioned narrative while ignoring the religious, cultural, and ideological foundations of Islamic terrorism.

The Obama administration excised all references to Islamic terrorism, using instead the non-qualified term "violent extremism."

President Donald Trump recently issues an executive order for the purposes of “extreme vetting,” essentially restricting the admission of foreign nationals from seven Muslim-majority states; Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Iran, Yemen, Somalia, and Libya.
