Republican presumptive presidential candidate Donald Trump says that the president's policies have been hampered by his refusal to use the phrase 'radical Islam.' The president has dismissed the criticism as a "political talking point" and Republican "yapping," saying "there is no magic to the phrase 'radical Islam.' Trump's call to use the term "radical Islamic terrorism" is particularly problematic, Tama said, because the term could imply that terrorism is somehow Islamic by nature. U.S. President Barack Obama is being hailed by some for his spirited determination to avoid using the term "radical Islam" to describe the enemy in the ongoing battle against ISIS. On Tuesday, Obama addressed the debate, specifically taking on presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's charge that the president's policies have been hampered by his refusal to use the phrase "radical Islam."
