(58,724 posts)You can go back as far as you like. If you can find a statement where she says she hates Muslims, please post it (if you think she is saying that in the video you provided, then that is something you are hearing rather than something she is saying).
At no point does she say that Obama should not meet with Muslims or that Muslims are the enemy.
Whether or not she is a "friend to the Muslim community" is something one can discuss, but your claim was that she has a "hated of Muslims" and she doesn't.
The Telesur report is indeed a cut and paste of items from other sites packaged in a way to try to present as negative a perception as possible. That's what I mean when I say they are biased. Selective out-of-context quoting couched with blatant editorializing is what biased sources do.
Those of us who support progressive and liberal values do not have a problem criticizing ideologies that are antithetical to those values, such as the various radical Islamic terrorist groups operating around the world or the white supremacists/white nationalist groups doing likewise. To be critical of such groups is not to be an enemy of Muslims or white people.
But I have a feeling we are not going to agree on this point, so I will leave it there.
