Exactly right except that he can acknowledge they are muslims (why shouldn't he?). He just shouldn't be saying that Muslims or Islam is the problem - and then exacerbate and compound the problem of what basically Bush helped create.
Right now in the Muslim world, fanatical haters of the west (not the US in particular) although miniscule in number are greatly multiplying due to the instability created in places like Syria, Iraq, Libya etc.... so having a good strategy to attack ISIS is what is needed. More hatred and more new versions or incarnations of ISIS definitely doesn't help.
Don't forget - these days, how often are we talking about "Al Qaida" ?
