Democratic primary front-runner Hillary Clinton says the escalating conflict with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is a battle between "hate and hope," not against the Muslim religion.
"I think it's important to remind ourselves that Islam itself is not our adversary," Clinton said at the Brookings Institute's Saban Forum in Washington, D.C., on Sunday. "This is not, and we should not let it become, a clash of civilizations."
"It is a clash between hate and hope, and the vast majority of Muslims are on our side of the battle unless we drive them away," she added.
