Playing into IS's plan

L"It is never a good idea to do what the terrorists want you to do, yet so many people are doing exactly that. The goal of terrorist groups is not simply to kill people but to influence their target group."

This article by a former CIA counter terrorism agent is, in my opinion, something everyone should read. It is so easy to imagine Trump's comments, especially, being excerpted and included in terrorist recruitment videos. Frightening thought. The terrorists want to convince all Muslims that the non-Muslim world hates them. Too many people in the spotlight are making that goal easier. 

In an ideal world, we would respect the lives of others and follow the Golden Rule. This would stop both military actions and terrorism, and additionally Trump wouldn't say such awful things.
