Ted Koppel appeared on Meet the Press with Chuck Todd. He laid out perfectly the damage that Donald Trump is doing. Referring to Trump and his supporters he said the following:
"The irony is that they think they are being tough on ISIS," Ted Koppel said. "And Trump thinks he is being tough on ISIS. Senator Rubio in his interview with you touched on it very very lightly. Donald Trump is in effect the recruiter in chief for ISIS. ISIS wants nothing more right now than to have the world divided into Judaeo Christian on one side and the Muslim world on the other. That is exactly what Trump is doing for them. I think it's time we started thinking about what ISIS wants and then not doing it."
In other words Ted Koppel is just pointing out the obvious. Instead of playing into the hands of ISIS as Donald Trump is doing right now by given them the semblance of a culture war effected by America and the West, it is imperative that we show that we embrace multiculturalism. It is unlikely that those who are embraced will be easily persuaded to radicalize themselves.
