NOMIKI KONST: Islam is a very large religion where the majority of Muslims are peaceful. We all know that. We're not at war against peaceful people. We're at war at extremists who are using Islam, bastardizing the religion, misinforming other people about the religion, using it to recruit.

[...]

KONST: So ISIS uses this. They want us to marginalize Muslims. They want us to act that way, because that's how they recruit.

BRIAN KILMEADE (HOST): Aren't we separating between radical Islamists as opposed to Muslims?

KONST: I don't think that -- I think that plays into the hand. There are a lot of people who want to blanket all Muslims, like not allowing Syrian refugees in that are Muslims. Or like what Donald Trump is saying, having a Muslim registry. Well you know, most Mulsims, nearly all of Muslims are peaceful around the world.

[...]

EVAN SIEGFRIED: The president calling for the authorized use of military force against ISIS. He is just trying to distract from the fact that he wants to come in and take the guns and he has no real plan to deal with ISIS.

KONST: I'm sorry. So Republicans debating semantics is a real plan? Because all I'm hearing is, oh they're not calling it radical Islam, rather than presenting actual solutions.
