@jonathanshainin What authority does Hillary have to declare who's properly "Islamic" and who's not?

Obama made the "ISIS is not Islamic" claim before Clinton, and O was echoing GHW Bush narrow-brush talk.

@jonathanshainin I haven't declared anyone "un-Islamic." I acknowledge that people generally have the right to self-identify as they wish.

I find debates about who's Islamic and who's not to be unenlightening, but HRC's claim is hardly original or unusual.
@mtracey -
@Beyerstein Yeah, I don't claim it to be original. Obama said the same thing. It's fatuous either way.

@mtracey She and Obama and George W. Bush. It's (understandable) politics, not exegesis. Shorthand for "All Muslims aren't terrorists." -
@MichaelMcGough3 Then they should say that, instead of arrogating the authority to pronounce on who's properly Islamic and who's not. - 1 more reply

HRC's not a Koranic scholar but she can cite these 120 Koranic scholars who say ISIS is not Islamic.
