Soon after Hillary Clinton concluded her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, Donald Trump took to Twitter and started criticising Hillary Clinton for not saying the words “radical Islam” in her nomination acceptance speech.

Trump says, “Our way of life is under threat by Radical Islam and Hillary Clinton cannot even bring herself to say the words.”

Trump unleased the criticism in a series of tweets in reaction to the speech. He is picking up a frequent Republican criticism of Democrats’ approach to fighting radicalism.

Neither Clinton nor President Barack Obama used the phrase “radical Islam” because they say it is misleading — the ideology motivating terrorists does not reflect true Islam, they say. Republicans argue the failure to use the label has hampered the fight.
